'Hawaii Five-0' Season 7 Cast Update: Darius Rucker to Play Wanted Bomb Creator

The cast of "Hawaii Five-0" Season 7 will be rocked to the core as Darius Rucker is set to enter the roster as a guest star. He will be playing an important role in one episode. His character is expected to give McGarrett and his team a rough time.

Entertainment Weekly recently confirmed that Darius Rucker has been tapped to play the role of a bomb maker in "Hawaii Five-0" Season 7. The feds will be all over Rucker's character, Desmond Gamal. He is wanted for his connections with some attacks that were carried out in the Middle East.

Aside from being a bomb creator, Rucker's Desmond will also be depicted as someone who trains others in "Hawaii Five-0" Season 7. It turns out that while the CIA was training Syrian rebels, Desmond was holding his own training sessions for Boko Haram and ISIS members. A yet-to-be-revealed character will sneak him inside Hawaii and things will start to get tough for McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin).

It appears that Desmond is a high-prized man as the U.S. government has been trying to track him down for a couple of years. It remains to be seen if McGarrett and the others will be able to get a hold of the elusive villain in "Hawaii Five-0" Season 7. On the other hand, fans can expect an action-packed episode when Rucker's Desmond shows up.
