Kim is best known these days for his role as Chin Ho Kelly on “Hawaii Five-0.”

In 2017, Kim announced that he was leaving the show early due to the pay disparity between him and his Caucasian co-stars.

“As an Asian American actor, I know first-hand how difficult it is to find opportunities at all, let alone play a well developed, three-dimensional character like Chin Ho,” Kim said on Facebook in his farewell message to fans. “I will miss him sincerely. What made him even more special is that he was a representative of a place my family and I so dearly love.”

Since his departure from “Hawaii Five-0,” Kim stepped into a larger role as producer on “The Good Doctor,” on which he played Dr. Jackson Han.

More recently, he has starred in the 2019 version of “Hellboy,” Apple TV+’s “Roar,” and “New Amsterdam.”

He played the villain Roarke in season three of hit TV drama “Yellowstone.”

He was also seen on television as Will Bowman in the adventure drama “Colony.” In an interview, Holloway compared the character of Will Bowman with the dynamic con man Sawyer.

“On ‘Lost,’ [Sawyer] went on a journey basically from the darkness into the light,” Holloway told Nerdist.

“Whereas Sawyer grew and evolved to be a better human, [Will Bowman] is a good guy who is being tainted by the darkness. It’s not making him an evil person but it is definitely compromising his character.”

Like Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia, Terry O’Quinn also starred in “Hawaii Five-0” after “Lost” ended.

He has also had prominent roles on shows like “Secrets and Lies,” “Patriot,” and “The Blacklist: Redemption.”

Most recently, O’Quinn appeared on Hulu’s “Castle Rock” as Dale Lacy, “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” as Major General Beale, and “FBI: Most Wanted” as Bryon LaCroix.
