Masi Oka rises as the unlikely 星, 星级 of "Heroes" 

The guys is such a great story. Just goes to show Hollywood that the tv audience doesn't just want to be spoon fed the ol' standard character types (whoever cancelled freaks and geeks are you listening?!?!). Go Masi!

it's not a surprise at all... Hiro is the definition of "Geek Chíc". Like the Tenth Doctor in Doctor Who, cool without trying or looking "unorthodox". I love him mainly because he's a character I could SO relate to, plus he has the best gift out of all the Heroes... end of!
