Zachary Quinto

Zachary John Quinto (born June 2, 1977) is an American television actor known for his roles as Adam Kaufman on 24, Sasan on So NoTORIous, and Sylar on Heroes. He has been cast to appear in the 2009 film Star Trek, as a young Spock. Star Trek will be Quinto’s feature film debut.

In an interview first published in September 2008, Star Trek director J.J. Abrams raved about Quinto’s performance as Spock: “Zachary brought a gravity and an incredible sense of humor, which is a wonderful combination because Spock’s character is deceivingly complicated. The revelation for me watching the movie, when I finally got to watch the whole thing after working on sequences, was that he is extraordinary. He was doing things I didn’t even realize while we were shooting, these amazing things to track his story.”
