'Heroes' star works for Lucas • Back?
On the NBC series "Heroes," Hiro Nakamura, played by Masi Oka, can control time and teleport. In real life, Oka has the ability to control anything he wants in the digital world.

Oka, it turns out, has a really cool day job.

He happens to be a computer programmer of physics animation software, and works for Industrial Light & Magic, the special effects house owned by George Lucas.

Oka started with the company shortly after graduating Brown University, where he earned a degree in computer science and mathematics, according to his NBC bio.

He worked on the "Star Wars" trilogy and "Pirates of the Caribbean." Oka now maintains a part-time position with Industrial Light and Magic as a research and development technical director working up to three days a week, according to the New York Post who first reported on Oka's super powers.

See, and you thought all actors were stupid.
