What do you think Masi Oka is like in real life?
I see him as this quietly funny guy, who can totally let loose with friends.
Who knows if I'm correct, but since I've decided to find him a lady, I figured I should get to know the guy, right?
You see, awhile back I saw Masi on Ellen and she totally made a fake classified ad for him. Well that was back in September 2007, so I figured I should update it for all the ladies out there. It'd be a mitzvah of sorts.
First of all, the good news is that Masi told me he "could still use a classified." That means he's single! (Who's swooning?)
Now, before we get to what Masi's looking for in a woman (suspense!), here's why you should want to date him.
1. He's totally modest. He still has the same car he had before he got famous. It's his way of staying humble.
2. He cares about the environment. Masi's old car (see #1) is starting to break down, and since he needs a car that actually functions, he "might be getting a hybrid very soon."
3. He's chill. "I'm not into big, flashy kinds of stuff," Masi said.
4. He's really great at yelling "Yatta!" in a really goofy, yet cute, way (Heroes fans know what I'm talking about). Plus, Masi said that this season "they want him to be more goofy again. It's a hard balance to make him grow but still be fun." And if anyone can do that, Hiro Nakamura can.
Now that that's been established, here's all you have to do to score a date with Masi Oka. You must be "someone who's grounded and smart and has a great sense of humor."
If only I didn't have such a huge crush on Milo, I'd totally apply.
Well, all that quickly changed the moment I saw him in person on the NBC red carpet. I kid you not, I saw Milo from afar and I started to get butterflies. I immediately blurted out to the reporters around me, "I think I have a crush on Peter Petrelli." (Peter, of course, is the character Milo plays on Heroes.)
Luckily I was able to keep my composure during our interview, but that didn't stop me from running home to my boyfriend to tell him I love Milo. Plus, I even think I may take down my Robert Downey, Jr. computer background and replace it with Milo.
Anywayyyyy, being a massive Gilmore Girls fan (I totally bought my mom a GG card for Mother's Day), I had to ask Milo if he cares that so many people still refer to him as Jess.
"You know what, that's all part of my upbringing. There's been a lot of work that I've done and I don't deny the fact that Jess was my first real thrust into the public eye. But I appreciate it. I enjoy that people are fans of that. And I'll tell you what. That was an amazing show. A great show."
Don't fret! At least one show is making this writers strike easier on its fans. NBC's Heroes site will constantly be updated, no matter what happens with the strike.
Every Tuesday you'll find new graphic-novel chapters, which continue the stories of the main characters. Don't worry, you don't need to read the stories in order to be in the know when the show eventually returns. But, this site will definitely help with the withdrawal for the diehard fans.
On that note, now that you have some time on your hands in the TV world, remember that most networks have -- for free -- past episodes of their shows online. I plan on using this time to catch up on shows I'm behind on, like Samantha Who?, Gossip Girl and Chuck. Anyone else doing the same?
