According to DDK's Twitter feed, Jimmy Borges has passed away. He's one of the few actors who appeared on the original Five-O and on the reboot of Five-0. He made two appearances on the reboot, his more recent in the 6th season's "Waiwai". Of his appearance, Wendie Burbridge, who writes the Five-0 Redux blog / review for the Star Advertiser said:
"The “Dr. Yang” character was played by veteran actor Jimmy Borges, who was in the classic “Hawaii Five-0,” as well as in “Leikō” (“Radio”) from season two. It was so nice to see Borges on the show, which he has said will be his last. Borges played Yang as a mix of mystic healer and sleazy underground criminal– which made him great fun to watch.
In Hawaiian “waiwai” not only means “assets” it also means: value, worth, and importance. It looks as if the “Hawaii Five-0” cast and crew got one last chance to show Mr. Borges how valuable he is to the Five-0 ʻohana."
RIP.
