He's such an amazing actor and seems like an incredible guy to be around. i checked out his resume on IMDB and he's been in so many movies I've seen and never realized he was in so I have to watch them all over just for him lol

Ohh.. I saw an interview about in on Conan O'Brien. He mentioned something about having ties with the photographer..and they just add him in. LOL.

But then again..he might be humble about it too. :S

He seems like a fun guy to be around! He also seems very gracious and modest as well. It's great to see those qualities in actors.

And I'm not sure if anyone else saw, but he's going to be on tonight's episode of Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip after Heroes. I wasn't planning on watching it but after watching the commercial I think I just might tongue.gif

I probably won't watch it but I'm certain it'll be put up on Youtube so I'll post the link when it does
Aerdna
I'm actually glad I decided not to wait a whole hour to see his 50 second cameo...and it was put on Youtube.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5bjEe-jdjE

Short, but kind of amusing. He played himself.

I watched it last night and it wasn't that much of a cameo at all but it was kind of entertaining

Should I add the link to the youtube topic?

E! News said sources say he won't be in the second season of Heroes. He's not gonna die, he's just gonna live in a different time or something. That sucks. I love his character!

I think that this show is too violent to be a kids show, they just made an appearance
Aerdna
Well, Nickelodeon also has its share of pre-teen viewers as well, so probably just an appearance for that demographic...
Jester77
Anyways whose looking forward to seeing more of Masi as Samurai Hiro? laugh.gif
estertjeuh

Yeah, but Einstien had an IQ of 192, but he was not too knowledgeable in the common sense field...

But Masi obviously has some common sense...
