Coder, Actor, and Hero

Inspiring story about a coder who works at ILM who find his way to get on NBC's Heroes!

A personal touch added by a director I worked with a few years back...

Yeah, Masi Oka is a friend, and one of the guys I worked with at ILM often from '96-'99. He was starting to take increasing time off to see if he could make a career out film and T.V and bouncing back and forth between L.A. and Marin. It didn't look particularly promising at the time for him '96-'99, but he kept sticking with it, despite the challenge of meeting hard effects schedules. He kept getting little things here and there and eventually got his 'break' and made it. I was surprised and pleased to see him on Heroes. Inspirational!
