They were at Starbucks One Fullerton, Singapore!
I think they came down to Singapore for a short period of time to promote the TV series.
So probably they were staying near One Fullerton.

Just wanna share something about the Heroes characters who came to Starbucks One Fullerton.

It's early morning around 8am..

Matt, Hiro (Masi Oka), Nikki(Ali Larter) and Mohinder (dunno their real names of course!) came down to Starbucks.

Hrmm..according to my friend who served them. They were arrogant (Hokkien: dao!) except for the Matt who's still has the sense of courtesy with the staff. No smiles, No Thank yous from them. And the Hiro was quite "dumb". he took his Frappuccino and trying to drink it without the straw! and my friend had to point out to him to get a straw at the condiment bar. Well...he just turned and walked away..No Thank you, mind you, even though Japanese is known to be polite right?

Oh well, just wanna highlight here regardless how they are in the TV series, behind the roles they playing, they are just like any other human beings.
They may be tired on an early morning but basic courtesy should be observed as they are representing their countries and the great "Heroes"

Maybe it's the difference between Movie celebrities and TV celebrities..urgh
Can't helped but to think that they simply looked down on Singapore (a small country) and shoved that attitude right up to our faces

Firstly, we have to understand that they must be totally exhausted. I occasionally act as a minor character or an extra in our local television shows and even if my scene is less than a minute, I must say that it takes a lot of effort to just get that perfect shot.

Take after take and tons of makeup caked on your face while you struggle to remember your lines and maintain your posture as you squeeze into character can vex you to a certain extent where you refuse to be polite or courteous. It unconsciously takes a toll on you and I hold actors/actresses in high regard since they have to cope with long hours and a heavy workload.

Secondly, they were probably feeling awkward since most of them are fresh faces (except Ali Larter, Hayden Panettiere and Greg Grunberg) to television and as I have seen or read their interviews, they confess that they're still getting used to stardom.

Give them a chance, why doncha? We're not that courteous a community ourselves. I'm sure they do not look down on Singapore or any other country in fact because it would unequivocally stupid for them to lose the sheer number of fans they have around here, don't you think so?


Just my two cents' worth.
