Witty Words from Masi Oka

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.

    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.
