Time traveling Hiro Nakamura is a fan-favorite character in NBC's superhero drama, Heroes. Masi Oka recently spoke about his undying love for the PSP system, saving him from the more boring aspects of being an actor, like the constant waiting and traveling he must do. "That's all I do on planes, is whip out my PSP and just stay focused on it the whole ride through. I won't even get food. I'm not a big fan of flying, so the PSP system helps me."
Oka takes advantage of all of PSP's capabilities, from games, to music to UMD movies. He's incredibly excited for the advanced Remote Play functionality with the PS3: "With PS3, I'm sure you'll be able to use the PSP system to play games down the line," said Oka. "It'd be cool to play Madden that way. I can't remember all of the plays, and when I'm playing against someone, I don't like the plays to be shown on the screen, but with a PSP, you could select plays for the PS3 Madden and not show anyone what you're thinking."
The full interview is available at PlayStation.com. You can catch Hiro, being a hero, on Heroes on NBC. It returns next Monday at 9PM.

I think he great in the show as well, too bad he does not travel back in time and deliver the PSP specs to designers the same year the Gameboy was released...

I don't know if he makes me proud to be a geeky asian, but I do have to say I admire him alot, he's a real renaissance man: amazing that he had such a high position at ILM & now he's an actor. Being a huge comic book fan, I love Heroes & hope it survives.
I've heard him extoll his love for the PSP in a past interview, so that's really cool that he's such a cheerleader for the system. It does say in that article that "he RECIEVED a PS3"... as opposed to "bought"... so maybe there's a bit of payola going on there, but whatever.

I think it would be sweet if Heroes would get a Video game. Plus this is good news for the PSP. Many movie stars and TV stars always say they like the PS brand and Xbox over Nintendo's Yet people want the DS.
So all I really want to say is YaTa.
