Jack Lord is the original and cool, calm, collected and no nonsense Steve McGarrett as he is not just the star or was but the producer of the show. And owned the show and retired from acting to live in Hawaii after the show went off the air.
McGarrett heads a elite anti-crime task force named after the 50th state as he made the catch phrase "Book Em Danno" by his right hand man and sidekick Danny Williams(James MacArthur), when it was time to arrest the antagonist of the week. Usually a murder one charge.
He also tangles with his arch enemy Wo Fat in which he got in the series finale of the show. Which became a running gag throughout the show's run! For in real life, there is really not a state task force. But Hawaii wishes that there was one for real.
