I'm holding out hope that that's the case. And it wouldn't kill him to do a few guest shots this fall. He's done so well with those...I'd love to see him on Criminal Minds, or well, actually, almost anything.
ETA: Now, wouldn't he look great in a Hawaiian shirt????
Say, like a competition surfer, who turns out to be an undercover fed infiltrating a drug smuggling ring...and who has to work closely with 5-O to bring down the bad guys???
Not that I've given any thought to this, or anything.
