Oka’s parents divorced shortly after his birth, and he was raised by his mother without ever meeting his father. At the age of six, they moved to Los Angeles, where he attended The Mirman School and Harvard-Westlake School. He later enrolled at Brown University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science and mathematics.

Oka’s involvement in the entertainment industry started in his teenage years, when his extraordinary IQ brought him to appear in the CBS-TV game show “Child’s Play”. Upon graduating from Brown, he began working at Industrial Light & Magic, a motion picture visual special effects company.

His acting career started in early 2000s, after he gained a Screen Actors Guild card, landing small film parts and several television guest spots, such as in the series “Dharma & Greg”, “Gilmore Girls” and “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch”. He also landed the recurring role of Franklyn, a lab technician, in the medical drama “Scrubs”. He went on to score many other television guest appearances, such as in series “All of Us”, “Joey” and “The Loop”, which greatly added to his net worth, and paving his way to bigger parts.

In 2006, Oka was cast in the NBC psychological science fiction thriller series “Heroes”; he played the role of time-traveling master Hiro Nakamura for four seasons until the series’ cancellation in 2010. The show became extremely popular among audiences worldwide, which brought Oka a great fan base. His performance earned him a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor on Television as well as nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor on a TV Series and the Primetime Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. He was also crowned Coolest Geek at Spike TV’s inaugural Guys Choice Awards. The series significantly contributed to his popularity in the acting world, and to his wealth as well.

In 2010, Oka was cast as coroner Dr. Max Bergman in the CBS action police procedural series “Hawaii Five-O”. The role has reinforced his status in Hollywood, greatly improving his net worth too.
