Bio:
Zachary Quinto (born Zachary John Quinto in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on June 2, 1977), is an American actor and producer. He broke into the business guest-starring on a number of television series, before recurring as a computer expert on the Fox hit, 24. His first starring role was as Gabriel “Sylar” Gray on NBC’s sci-fi favorite, Heroes. Zachary then set his sights on the role of young Spock in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek movie. Friends and fans started a campaign for him to win the role: Zach Quinto — Spock ’08. It worked, and Zachary took the role, with final confirmation from the original Spock — Leonard Nimoy. Zachary nonchalantly came out as gay in an interview with New York Magazine in October 2011. The piece didn’t mention his sexual orientation until halfway through the story.
