The new Magnum P.I. cast
Jay Hernandez stars as "Thomas Magnum", a retired Navy SEAL, who moves to Hawaii after being deployed to Afghanistan and re-purposes his military skills to become a private investigator on the island of Oahu. He's kept in line by his landlord "Juliet" and her two dobermans. He also works as a security consultant.
"Juliet Higgins" is played by the gorgeous Perdita Weeks. The former agent for the British MI:6 is the 'majordomo' of Robin's Nest, the luxurious estate that is owned by Robin Masters, a war journalist who has written a couple of books about "Magnum" and his friends.
"Magnum's" Navy buddy "TC Calvin" is portrayed by Stephen Hill. The man who used to be a helicopter pilot for the Marines now owns his own business that offers helicopter tours of the island of Oahu: Island Hoppers. He also coaches a junior football team in his spare time.
Another old comrade of "Magnum' is "Rick Wright", former Marine door-gunner played by Zachary Knighton. "Rick" runs the island's coolest night club and is quite the playboy. He loves "Higgins'" dogs 'Apollo' and 'Zeus' and is a high-school dropout.
