Zachary Quinto’s Trek To Fame
By Fred Topel
Oct 8, 2008Often when an actor does press for one project, there’s really another big project that people really want to hear about. Harrison Ford’s last several movies were sort of excuses to get scoops on Indy IV. Zachary Quinto is in the rare position to have two equally anticipated projects. Trekkies and general sci-fi fans want to see his take on the young Spock in J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek, but also want to know what’s up with Sylar in the new season of Heroes.
Spock is an icon dating back to the ’60s and Sylar has certainly earned a place in modern pop culture. Quinto could have two defining roles on his hands, one hero and one villain.
“I think there are elements of the characters that echo each other but I think they echo each other from very different, opposite ends of the spectrum,” notes Quinto. “Each of the characters employs a stillness and a rich internal point of view that informs the way that they behave and the way that they relate to people around them. It’s great fun to have characters that are rich and that are full of challenges and full of rewards. Both of these characters are clearly that. So as an actor, I don’t really approach a character as to whether or not it’s good or bad. I just approach a character as to where it lives in me. I think for numerous reasons both of these very different characters both find life in me.”
Both Heroes and Star Trek plotlines are closely guarded secrets, yet Quinto found ways to analyze each without giving away spoilers, though fans will have to wait until May 2009 to find out exactly how Spock met Kirk and beamed aboard the Enterprise.
