MacArthur was most recognized for his role as Detective Danny 'Danno' Williams on Hawaii Five-0, which aired from 1968 to 1980 — one of the longest-running crime shows in television history. 'Book em, Danno,' the catchphrase said by Danno's partner Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) in many episodes, became a pop culture staple."

Loved this guy in THE YOUNG STRANGER. Nicely done film from the 1950s that seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth.
This is too bad. I was a big Hawaii Five-0 fan when I was a boy (still am), and a particular fan of MacArthur; I sort of idolized him at age 12. In recent years he has maintained a very nice personal website and "digital scrapbook," worth checking out:

Nice link. Thanks for sharing it.
Very sad. Apparently the producers of the current revival of the show were going to have MacArthur do a cameo on their show. He'd agreed to it, it was just a question of time.
