Masi Oka on Gilmore Girls

I swear I should just go through all the Heroes cast to see if any of them were on Gilmore Girls at any point! Milo Ventimiglia (Jess on Gilmore Girls) has a lead role as Peter Petrelli, Cristine Rose (Gilmore Girls guest star of Francine Hayden) plays his mother, Angela Petrelli, and Alan Blumenfeld (Gilmore Girls guest star Rabbi David Barans) is Maury Parkman. Well, another lead Heroes actor can be added to the mix – Masi Oka, who plays the lovable Hiro Nakamura character!

Masi Oka had a single guest starring role on Gilmore Girls as a philosophy student in 2001 for the episode ‘The Road Trip to Harvard.’

It’s something we noticed during the recapping of the episode, but I’d completely forgotten about the scene. In the episode, Rory sits in on a class in Harvard, where Masi Oka argues with her as another student in the class.
