- Masi Oka
Oka: I got to see a little bit of it, but I guess the crowd reacted well. It was very cool, because I realize that Hiro is kind of representative of all the comic book geeks. I myself am a big Manga freak as well, so I was just happy that I could give it justice, and it seemed like a lot of the audience members did connect to the character, so that was very cool.

- Declan Galvin
It is interesting how your interaction with the world changes with the world's perception of you. In the last couple of months I have had people avoid me on the street, mention (in casual conversation) that they have felony convictions, and the homeless have stopped asking me for change.
- Nicole Filiatrault
I am easily amused. I probably laugh at more things than I ought to. I am a habitual over-user of emoticons. The pets in my house outnumber the people 7 to 1. I can drive stick with my Gir slippers on. When I say "I'm thinking about doing something" I've probably already done it. I laugh out loud to jokes in my own little head. When I was a little kid I thought I could fly. Sushi makes life worth living. 23 is my lucky number.

I began working in visual effects in 1992, first as head of editorial and film recording at RGA/LA and then as a digital artist, focusing on lighting and compositing. I have worked at both large and small facilities over the past 15 years. The aspect I most enjoy about my job is the opportunity to build, supervise, and motivate teams of artists while striving to create something that is technically and aesthetically unique.
