Jerry Ortega is a conspiracy theorist who regularly assists the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force with various cases and who once attended high school alongside Lieutenant Chin Ho Kelly.
Season 4
Jerry Ortega made his debut appearance in the Season 4 episode, Ka 'oia'i'o ma loko. Jerry was classmates with Chin Ho Kelly at Kukui High and they were in the school band
Season 5
In Ina Paha, in an alternate reality that Steve McGarrett experienced as a result of being drugged, due to the Hawaii Five-0 Task Force not being created and presumably Jerry not eventually socializing with others, thereby improving his social skills, the Jerry of that reality subsequently became a very paranoid man with an undiagnosed mental illness as he was seen repeatedly talking to himself. He was also homeless, presumably suggesting that his mother had also probably kicked him out as she was no longer able to cope with him.
Jerry is a fan of Elvis Presley, which was discovered when Five-0 was called to investigate a murder of an Elvis impersonator in the episode. In the same episode, he shows off his musical talent by singing at the open mic when hanging out with the team for drinks after the case. [1]
Season 6
After much pestering,Steve McGarrett finally, lets Jerry have his own "office"—an empty file storage room in the basement—and officially hires him as a "consultant". Much to Lou Grover's dismay.
Trivia
- Jorge Garcia, Daniel Dae Kim (Chin Ho Kelly) and Terry O'Quinn (Joe White) previously worked together on the TV series, "Lost".
