   From July 30 issue of Entertainment Weekly (WITH a picture of Grace in a   
   bikini carrying a surf board!)   
      
       You know you've broken into the boys' club when you cant seem to stop   
   taking roles originally played by guys. GRACE PARK firs gained attention   
   while playing Lieut. Sharon "Boomer" Valeri in Sci Fi's remake of BSG.   
   (Boomer from the 1978 series was portrayed by Herbert Jefferson Jr.) And now   
   PARK will be pulling the sex swap all over again this fall, as Det.. Kono   
   Kalakaua in CBS' reboot of "Hawaii Five-0. (Kono was played by the burly   
   actor Zulu in the 1968 original.)   
       PARK attributes all the gender bending no to her special brand of   
   gravitas, but to Hollywood's zeal fro remakes and the need to inject them   
   with modern sensibilities. "Back in the day, we used to have much  more   
   male-heavy shows, but having a woman in there adds a new dimension." that   
   said, she sees plenty of ways to exploit this trend: "My next goal is to do   
   J.R. from 'Dallas.' Then maybe Larry from 'Three's Company."   
       Note to network executives: Please  make this happen. -- Jennifer   
   Armstrong.
