You know adorable Masi Oka as Hiro Nakamura on the popular series "Heroes" and funny Nate Torrence is a familiar face from many TV guest star roles and he'll be seen soon with Kate Hudson in My Best Friend's Girl and in the romantic comedy She's Out of My League. In the action comedy Get Smart, the duo play Bruce and Lloyd, two techie gadget-inventors for the superspy outfit CONTROL, providing all the latest electronic spyware for Steve Carell's Maxwell Smart and Anne Hathaway's Agent 99.

The guys also continue their characters in a cool DVD called Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control out July 1st that sends the boys on their own parallel adventure. We wanted to know all about the DVD, what new gadgets the characters might invent and what's up for Masi on "Heroes". We cornered the guys in Beverly Hills and started prying for secrets!

TeenHollywood: Masi, this is the first major movie you've done since your "Heroes" [break]. What sort of offers were you getting and why choose this one?

Masi: I was in a very fortunate position to have a couple of offers but this was just a great film. I personally never saw the original series but it had great talent attached already. Steve Carell was one of my big idols growing up and Alan Arkin. Having grown up in the Second City family, these guys were the people I worshiped and I knew I really wanted to work with them. For me, it was a pretty easy choice. If I could only to one, this was the one I really wanted to do and I was just very fortunate that the producers gave us a opportunity to work.
