On the Hawaii Five-0 episode “Hapai ke kuko, hanau ka hewa” (translated “when covetousness is conceived, sin is born”), the top salesperson for a beauty company, Gwen Baker (Chelsea Gilson), is murdered. The team deals with a long list of possible suspects including her husband Josh Baker. He has an alibi: he wasn’t on the island when she died, he was at a tennis tournament. But he does have a motive: a $3 million life insurance policy. He claims he’s innocent and suggests that they look at the people she worked with who created a pyramid scheme.
Husband Josh Baker is portrayed by actor Matthew Lawrence. The former child star is known for his roles on his big brother Joey Lawrence’s sitcom Melissa & Joey (Tony Longo), Boys Meets World (Jack Hunter), Brotherly Love (Matt Roman), Blossom (as young Joey), Gimme a Break! (Matthew), and Dynasty (Danny Carrington, Jr.), among others. Lawrence is also recognized for his roles in films including Mrs. Doubtfire (Robin Williams’ son Chris Hillard, see above!) and Planes, Trains & Automobiles (Steve Martin’s son Neal). Fun fact: Matthew Lawrence is engaged to Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Cheryl Burke. Hawaii Five-0 airs Fridays at 9 pm on CBS, right after MacGyver and right before Blue Bloods.
