Yep. Samoan actor Al Harrington appeared as one of the prisoners in "The Box" in 1969.
Three years later he came back to Five-O as a regular in the role of Ben Kokua for all of Seasons 5, 6 and the early part of the 7th season. Since they didn't change the opening credits in mid-season may explain why Al's replacement Doug Mossman wasn't added even though he too was a regular.
Al Harrington did a lot of work after he left this series, including a 5 part story arc in which "The Jeffersons" vacationed in Hawaii in 1980. He's my dad's age (71) and according to the IMDB, Al is working as a character actor in movies now.
