While exploring what role might be next for her, Agena has been doing some things she’s always done - taking classes and performing onstage to stay sharp. “There are even now people who would love for us to have a third season, (but) I don’t think it’s possible,” she said. While there’s a movement to get the procedural about a profiler whose father was a serial killer picked up on another network or platform, Agena knows the odds against that are long. I’m crossing my fingers that something will happen that I can be on a show that films in Hawaii!”Īgena’s schedule opened in an unfortunate way a few months ago when Fox canceled “Prodigal Son” - in which she played medical examiner Dr. The stars have to (align) - at some point, they will. … And my husband (musician Shin Kawasaki) would love it too. “If that somehow worked out, that I was the right fit for a show that was filming in Hawaii, oh my gosh! I would die. “That would be the dream,” Agena said from her home in Los Angeles during a recent phone conversation. She wants a shot to do a show filmed in her home state. But in this case, Agena is not a fan of it. She’s co-starred with Sean Penn in “The First” and with Michael Sheen and Lou Diamond Phillips in “Prodigal Son” and appeared in “Better Call Saul,” “13 Reasons Why,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “Scandal” and “E.R.,” to name just a few.Īmong the shows Agena has not landed a role on? The “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P.I.” reboots and the forthcoming “NCIS: Hawaii” and “Doogie Kamealoha, M.D.” - all shows that have filmed in Hawaii over the past decade.Īn actress from Hawaii who gets cast in so many shows but none from Hawaii? Now that’s irony. Along with seven years as a regular on “Gilmore Girls,” the 1991 Mid-Pacific Institute graduate has compiled an impressive list of credits in TV’s biggest dramas. Keiko Agena is one of the most prolific television actors born and raised in Hawaii. Would an example make this clearer? Well, it just so happens Hawaii has produced a living, breathing example of irony. Rather, it’s when the effect of an action is the opposite of what’s intended, or when reality is at odds with what you’d expect. It isn’t mere coincidence or bad timing as so many seem to believe (thanks, Alanis).
