Hi all,

I was watching some excerpts of an American award show and was amazed to find out that Masi Oka was a child prodigy!

Did anyone else know / see this?

Cheers,

From Wikipedia:

"In 1987, a 12-year-old Oka was featured on the cover of Time Magazine titled "Those Asian-American Whiz Kids". Though he was not featured in the article itself, he was acquainted with the photographer who conducted the shoot. He has an IQ of 180. Ten years later, he graduated from Brown University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and mathematics."
