Celebrity Facial Hair Friday - Masi Oka (Hiro)
This week's celebrity facial hair Friday pick is actor Masi Oka who plays Hiro on the new hit NBC show Heroes. While Masa no doubt made the best of his roles as "Japanese Pedestrian" in Austin Powers or "Talking Rock" in CBS's Yes, Dear, his portrayal of the space/time bending emerging superhero is unquestionably his finest role to date.
At the end of episode 5 "Collision", Hiro appears as himself from the future, sporting a distinctive thin vertical strip of facial hair under his mouth. This is the best picture I could find, so if you didn't see the episode you'll have to take my word for it. It was the perfect touch to contrast his normally giddy, bumbling self. Future-Hiro is smooth and confident. The facial hair serves to emphasize his maturity and uniqueness. It's a signature look, just like any superhero should have. Well done!
