Hawaii Five-0 actor Keo Woolford has died at age 49.
Woolford played Detective James Chang in the CBS remake of Hawaii Five-0.
According to his publicist, Woolford died at a hospital in Hawaii, three days after suffering a stroke.
In 2001-02 Woolford starred as the King of Siam in The King And I, opposite Elain Paige in London’s West End.
In 2013, Woolford received a special jury prize at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival for best first feature, The Haumana. Publicist Tracy Larrau said Woolford had just completed the script for a sequel, with auditions beginning in January.
Woolford also had small roles in films including Falling For Grace, Gozilla (2014) and Happy, Texas.
