Ian Anthony Dale is one of three new regular *Hawaii Five-0* cast members starting in Season 8.

With the departures of original cast members Daniel Dae Kim and Grace Park over salary disputes, CBS announced today who we’ll be seeing when the eighth season of Hawaii Five-0 premieres in September.

Recurring cast member Ian Anthony Dale will join new additions Meaghan Rath and Beulah Koale. Dale, who has played Adam Noshimuri since Season 2, has always been a trusted confidant and resource for the team (as well as romantic interest for Park’s Kono character). Adam will now be recruited by McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) to work for Five-0. This summer, Dale is starring in CBS’s suspense thriller, Salvation, which is airing now.

Per the press release, Rath will play Tani Rey, who McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) recruits after finding her working as a lifeguard at a hotel pool after she was kicked out of the Police Academy, despite being a first-rate candidate. Rath is best known for her work in the series Being Human as well as recurring roles on New Girl and Secrets and Lies.
