Another useless Trivia thread.

Ok don't let your volcano explode over this one.

She is in the new version, name character's name and actress. Hint "SHE'S SMOKEN HOT"

But she replaced a male character in the new version(but kept the character's name the same) in the original cop series. Name the orignal actor.

AND, part three same show

This show, had former 18 year cop vet, read for the part of a villain but ended getting the part of a cop. Name the actor and character.

EDIT, also related to this show but not related. This 80s porn star took her "stage name" last name from the lead actor's last name. Yes I have way too much time on my hands. And if you get this last one, you also have too much time on your hands.

Had to read through this a few times, but I think I've got it:

The series is 'Hawaii 5-0'. The character is Detective Kono Kalakaua. Played in the original by Zulu (real name: Gilbert Kauhi ) played in the remake by Grace Park.

The porn star you're looking for is Traci Lords, who took her surname from Jack Lord, who played McGarrett in the original series.

I hope this makes up for my getting Curtis Armstrong's name wrong.

You missed one, the show also had a former REAL 18 year vet cop, who became a character on the show, name the actor and character.

Yes that makes up for it, I like my Boogers on point(and yes I hate it when people say "on point", or "my bad", or "same difference".....) But that is a different thread.

Ok,

Long before there was 911 to call police, this lady not only played one on TV but was a real police dispatcher outside the show, name the actress and the show.

Shaaron Claridge.  The show was 'Adam-12'.

Here's another:  Why did the first episode of Doctor Who get such low ratings that it was very near cancelled immediately?

Boru

Kennedy Assassination or the opening music.

Bingo lolly. The show premiered the day after Kennedy was killed, and everyone was watching the coverage. Well done.

Just realized this one just now watching a repeat just now.

This still famous celebrity had a major change a couple years ago, played a cop on another 1970s cop show. In real life he is part of the family of a famous OJ Simpson's lawyer.

Name the actor, name the cop show. And where are they now and what is their new name. And what famous lawyer are they related to?
