Frankie Valli To Join Hawaii Five-0 Cast And Other Season Five Plot Twists

Frankie Valli may be best known for being the frontman for the pop/doo-wop group The Four Seasons since the ’60s, but he’s now choosing a new venue to add to his entertainment repertoire.

RTT News reports that Frankie will guest star as fiance Leonard Campbell of Aunt Deb, who is played by Carol Burnett, on this season of Hawaii Five-0. His role has been described as “mysterious” and his addition to the cast is geared toward throwing a wrench in the plot for season five of the revamped version of the classic ’70s cop show that is based in Hawaii. According to TV Guide, Frankie’s Leonard and Carol’s Aunt Deb met in chemotherapy.

Frankie Valli is best known for his music, though he has had some screen time in the past. He has appeared in several movies, to include the 1970 version of Grease, which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Not to go unmentioned is Valli’s extensive resume of celebrity guest appearances on just about every show from Rachel Ray to the 63rd Annual Tony Awards.

It’s true, Valli’s acting resume is rather extensive. But his history in the music business dates back to the ’60s. Valli began making music at the early 1950s and soon formed the group The Four Lovers which was later changed to The Four Seasons of today. Not only has Frankie Valli been the recipient of several awards and honors while involved in the music industry, he has also been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.

His addition to Hawaii Five-0 should prove to be an interesting one.

In related news, Enstars has recently released details regarding the commemorative Hawaii Five-0 100th episode. During the 100th episode, the Wo Fat story is supposed to come to a conclusion. The director, Larry Tang teased H50 fans with the following tweet regarding the 100th episode of Hawaii Five-0:

“There it is #H50 fans… Episode 100. Y’all gonna lose yer sh-t. #Epic.”

The executive producer of the show seemed to back up Tang’s statement by stating the following:

“I’ll tell you this: If there are any lingering questions for people who have been loyally watching the show from the beginning, they’re all going to be answered in the 100th episode.”

The 100th episode airs on October 7th at 9 p.m. ET and is titled “If, Perhaps,”. The major episode featuring the wedding between Burnett’s Aunt Deb and Valli’s Leonard will air on November 21st at 9 p.m. ET.
