Masi Oka shot to fame playing Hiro Nakamura on the NBC hit "Heroes," but the 31-year-old landed his first magazine cover when he was just 12.

Oka was on the cover of Time magazine in 1987 (he's the one in blue on the left) with the banner, "Those Asian-American Whiz Kids." He told Conan O'Brien that a parent of one of his childhood friends was the photographer, and "She was looking for smart Asian kids." Oka wasn't featured in the article, but he is something of a genius.

Masi worked for George Lucas' special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, toiling on special effects for films like "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," "War of the Worlds" and the three "Star Wars" prequels. Oka says he still works for the company a couple of days a week.

In a clip from tonight's episode of "Heroes," Hiro figures out that he teleported back in time six months instead of only one day. "Heroes" airs tonight at 9PM ET/PT on NBC.

Don't worry... The promo basically promised that ALL of our questions about where the Heroes powers came from would be answered. NBC wouldn't lie to us, would they? :)

I'll be gone so fast the door won't even have time to open. I'm so tired of the long, drawn out advertising blitzes that end with 2 seconds of concrete material at 9:57, immediately followed by the start of the next week's campaign.

Not to mention the fact that you get 3 minutes of commercials to every 1 minute of story.

Heroes pisses me off.

How about you put the "crap taking face" on and transport two months into the past before Heroes ever came on, then not watch the show at all and save us all the trouble :D

I was thinking, when they say save the cheerleader, save the world. They never actually came right out and said which cheerleader, right? What if they were suppose to save the annoying one, the one that die?

What if Hiro is the bad guy, and he wanted to trick them into saving that cheerleader so that the world would end? since they didnt save her they saved the world!
