The show stars William Hurt as FBI agent Hanssen, who acted as a Soviet spy for 22 years and betrayed his family, friends and country.

Flashback sequences, including a Vietnam storyline, were shot on O'ahu's North Shore and Windward side last year.

"It was just a few days of shooting, but amounted to $100,000 for our economy," said Walea Constantinau, Honolulu film commissioner.

"It's an ambitious project for TV," Constantinau said, "since they shot in Moscow and other places in the world. As part of CBS' (November) sweeps, we should get wonderful exposure."

Share veterans' stories

At this time of heightened interest in all things military, veterans have much to teach us. Yet nationwide, more than 1,600 veterans die each day.

The Library of Congress Veterans History Project and AARP call on Americans of all ages to collect or share first-person accounts from U.S. veterans of the world wars, and the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars.
