Witty Words from Masi Oka

September 20, 2011 By 3 Comments

Masi Oka accompanied last night’s Hawaii Five-0 premiere with an entertaining live chat session on Twitter! He thoughtfully kept the spoilers to a minimum while amping up the humor. If you haven’t seen the episode, the majority of tweets will have little significance. I’ve added a selection below – you can enjoy the full series on Twitter.

#H50 That was shot at a real jail. Beautifully hidden in the mountains.

#H50 AtoQ: The only stunts I’m doing is working with medical surgical instruments. When you suck with using tools, it’s a stunt for me.

#H50 That scene was shot in two separate days. Half of it was done on a sound stage, half in an actual house.

#H50 Actually did a lot of takes with that tag, including singing the theme song, saying “boldly go …” etc.

#H50 We gave a few different reactions to the “Kermit” line, guess they used the one where Max enjoyed being called “Kermit”

#H50 AtoQ: Hard to estimate the length of a time to shoot. Typically eight days to shoot a full episode.

#H50 The more characters in a scene the longer it takes to shoot, because you have to shoot coverage for all the actors.

    I love Masi’s sense of humor. It’s very similar to his character on the show. So glad they are making him a regular cast member. You know if he’s in the scene, it’s going to be humorous. Loved his tweets.
