Hawaii Five-0's Scott Caan aggravated an old knee injury and was flown back to Los Angeles for surgery on his ACL, a rep for the series said.

Caan, who plays Detective Danny "Danno" Williams, is scheduled to return to the set Monday. Production will continue without him, though he will not miss an episode.

The 33-year-old actor's injury will be written into the show. Danny will be taken to the doctor's office following a mishap on the job. When the doctor asks whether anything traumatic has happened lately, Danny replies that he's got a new partner, Alex O'Loughlin's Steve McGarrett. "This guy is a physical injury!"

"Working with McGarrett, you're bound to get a few bumps and bruises along the way," executive producer Peter Lenkov said.

Hawaii Five-0 is scheduled to premiere Monday, Sept. 20 at 10/9c on CBS.

Former Heroes star Masi Oka has revealed details of his forthcoming role on Hawaii Five-0.

It was previously confirmed that the actor will play a coroner in the fourth episode of the cop drama.

"I'm playing an odd little man named Max Bergman," he told TV Guide. "He's brilliant at two things - being the Honolulu medical examiner and playing the piano, which he does in his autopsy room office to help him think."

Oka also revealed details of what Heroes creator Tim Kring had planned for a fifth season of the axed NBC series.

"They were going to end everyone's stories by bumping off one character every week," he confirmed.

Oka's appearance on Hawaii Five-0 is expected to air in October. His character could potentially recur throughout the first season.
