Masi Oka Wiki Biography

Masayori Oka was born on 27 December 1974, in Tokyo, Japan, and is a Japanese-American actor, producer and digital effects artist, probably best known for his roles as Hiro Nakamura in the television series “Heroes” and as Doctor Max Bergman in the series “Hawaii Five-0”.

So just how loaded is Masi Oka now? Sources state that Oka has established wealth of over $5 million, as of early 2017, accumulated through his involvement in the entertainment industry.

Oka’s parents divorced shortly after his birth, and he was raised by his mother without ever meeting his father. At the age of six, they moved to Los Angeles, where he attended The Mirman School and Harvard-Westlake School. He later enrolled at Brown University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and mathematics.

Oka’s involvement in the entertainment industry started in his teenage years, when his extraordinary IQ brought him to appear in the CBS-TV game show “Child’s Play”. Upon graduating from Brown, he began working at Industrial Light & Magic, a motion picture visual special effects company.

His acting career started in early 2000s, after he gained a Screen Actors Guild card, landing small film parts and several television guest spots, such as in the series “Dharma & Greg”, “Gilmore Girls” and “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”. He also landed the recurring role of Franklyn, a lab technician, in the medical drama “Scrubs”. He went on to score many other television guest appearances, such as in series “All of Us”, “Joey” and “The Loop”, which greatly added to his net worth, and paving his way to bigger parts.

In 2006, Oka was cast in the NBC psychological science fiction thriller series “Heroes”; he played the role of time-traveling master Hiro Nakamura for four seasons until the series’ cancellation in 2010. The show became extremely popular among audiences worldwide, which brought Oka a great fan base. His performance earned him a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor on Television as well as nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor on a TV Series and the Primetime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He was also crowned Coolest Geek at Spike TV’s inaugural Guys Choice Awards. The series significantly contributed to his popularity in the acting world, and to his wealth as well.

Meanwhile, he continued with his involvement in other television and film projects, making several television guest appearances and landing smaller parts in films including “Get Smart”, “The Promotion” and “Searching for Sonny”. In 2010, Oka was cast as coroner Dr. Max Bergman in the CBS action police procedural series “Hawaii Five-O”. The role has reinforced his status in Hollywood, greatly improving his net worth too.

Then in 2015, he reprized his role of Nakamura in the miniseries “Heroes Reborn”, a continuation of “Heroes”. He is currently involved in filming the upcoming action horror film “Meg”, set to be released in 2018.

In addition to his acting career, Oka has been involved in a number of big screen projects while working as a Research and Development Technical Director at ILM, making programs that create special effects. Such projects include the films “The Perfect Storm”, “Hulk”, “War of the Worlds”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy. This has been another source of his wealth.

When it comes to his private life, Oka has kept it away from public view. Therefore, sources don’t have any details about his relationship status.

Masi Oka Quotes

• On why his mother chooses to stay in Japan rather than accompany him to the Emmy Awards: My mom is actually very superstitious. She tells me every time she’s in Japan, she gets good news, like ‘I got nominated for a Golden Globe,’ or ‘I got nominated for an Emmy.’ Anytime she’s in the states, she gets bad news, like, ‘I want to be an actor.’
• (on being out in public): It is a great thing to have fans come up to you and say, ‘Oh my God. We love your show. What is going to happen now?’ Especially with the hiatus. It is pretty cool to go out, meet your fans and feel their passion for the show as we have for the show, as well. There was a guy walking by with a cell phone, he noticed me and turned his head and opened his mouth and dropped his cell phone, which I thought was a cool thing, because I had the power of a hot woman at that moment. I have had girls come up, hug me and kiss me and run away. I am like, ‘Wow, don’t run away.’ It has been surreal. Last year at this time, I could be walking in to a Starbucks and people wouldn’t look at me. Now I have to be well-groomed because people want to take pictures.
• (How becoming famous affected how people treat him) They treat me nicer. They don’t say, “Yo, Asian dude.” They say, “Hi Masi. We love your show.”
• You know, I’ve actually been very good about not going on the Internet, I only look at things that my publicist and my friends send me, although I did see this one thing that my publicist sent me, I went online and it said, “oh my god, Hiro Nakamura, I love him so much. I want to make him my pet. I want to lock him up, talk to him, kiss him, I want to make him literally my pet.” You know what, as long as they feed me, I’m all for it.
