Hiro to Hawaii
He's the one on your left in case you're wondering. I thought Heroes pretty much blew after season one but Masa Oki was always a likable fella in the role of Hiro, and along with Miss Panettiere was probably the shows most popular star, now news comes from TV Guide that he's set to join the new Hawaii Five-0.
After squinting his eyes and time-hopping around the globe to save the world as Heroes' Hiro Nakamura, Masi Oka has signed on to help Steve McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) and his team investigate murders on CBS's Hawaii Five-0 reboot.
He'll debut in the fourth episode as the coroner and be billed as a guest star. But with the body count expected to spike considerably in Oahu, this coroner could potentially be busy for several seasons.
I loved the original Hawaii Five-0 and the new version is looking very sharp, Oki will no doubt be providing some quirky light relief, the shows version of Abby from NCIS perhaps. Hawaii Five-0 starts on September 20th and I've plonked the trailer below.
