Masi has that easy to like look and he displays it very well playing Hiro. His acting is ok, i wouldn't have thought he was nominated for awards, but his acting is only mediocre. his character in Heroes is AWESOME though and it's nice to finally see him kiss a girl..
Hiro: "The space time continuum"
Hiro's mind: "F*ck that sh*t! she's hot!"
*kiss*
heheh...
they finally put a hot asian person on TV (the swordsmiths daughter).. wow, are they slowly breaking away from the super slanted eye, high cheek bone stereotype?
i don't see many asians on tv or movies and the ones that are are uber stereotypical, it's sad.posted 306 days ago -
