‘NCIS: Hawai’i’ Alum Jason Antoon Shares Clip Of Canceled Show’s Vacant Studio Lot


A year after 'NCIS: Hawai'i' ended its three-season run on CBS, the state's film and TV industry continues to suffer a decline in business.

Jason Antoon, who played cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik on the police procedural spin-off, recently shared a video of the series’ vacant and overgrown Hollywood Film Studio, where shows like Lost(2004-’10), Hawaii Five-0(2010-’20) and Magnum P.I. Although CEO Rob Wade said the reason for the decision “certainly wasn’t the locale or the budget,” filming in Hawaii made it one of the network’s more expensive dramas, coming in at close to $4 million per episode.
