Hatosy (pictured, left) plays Clayton Emerson, a born politician and the father of aspiring lifeguard Kainalu (Alex Aiono). Councilman Emerson is a prime candidate for Honolulu's next mayor, a position that could work to his and Sonny's (Robbie Magasiva) advantage when it comes to getting things they want.
Dale (pictured, right) plays Sean Harimoto, a local firefighter who teams up with Em (Arielle Kebbel) on a rescue mission. Sean is impressed by Em's fearless approach to her work and is eager to get to know her better.
The role reunites Hatosy with his Animal Kingdom (2016) team of John Wells and Matt Kester. Hatosy also directs the twelfth episode of Rescue: Hi-Surf, which has been acquired by Fox for 19 episodes. It will air in the 2024-25 season.
In addition to Magasiva and Kebbel, the series also stars Adam Demos, Kekoa Kekumano, Alex Aiono and Zoe Cipres. Sea Shimooka appears in a recurring role.
Rescue: HI-Surf is co-produced by Warner Bros. Television and FOX Entertainment Studios. Kester created the series. Kester, Wells and Daniele Nathanson serve as executive producers and co-showrunners. Erin Jontow (John Wells Productions) also serves as executive producer. Kester writes the first episode and Wells directs the first two episodes.
In addition to TNT's Animal Kingdom (2016), Hatosy also played roles in AMC's Fear The Walking Dead, Prime Video's Bosch and Netflix's Flaked. Last year he had a guest role on NBC's Law & Order.
Dale played the role of Adam Noshimuri on CBS' Hawaii Five-0, the role of Jim Koto on TNT's Murder in the First and the role of Harris Edwards on CBS' Salvation. He had recurring roles on OWN's All Rise and Fox's The Resident.
