[...] Okay, why does it feel reassuring to hear of Masi Oka visiting a Kinokuniya Book Store and talking about his appreciation for Naoki Uraawa? It’s not like we’re gonna geek out together with me warning him not to spoil Monster for me. [...]

Any guesses who’ll play Hiro’s other father? :)

If Masi’s a manga fan, can he explain why he’s playing a Japanese guy living in Japan who only speaks Japanese, and yet apparently only reads American monthly comics? Can anyone in Japan quote individual issues of X-Men?

Of course, only a huge nerd like myself would be bothered by that. :)

It’s official – Masi Oka is the Fanboy’s ultimate fanboy!

- He likes comics

- Get’s to play a comic character with super-powers on TV

- Worked at ILM for George Lucas

- And will have George Takei play his Father

Now, if he can hook up with a hot chick on the rebound like Carman Elektra, Jessica Simpson, or Jennifer Anniston, Masi Oka can rule the world!
