The latest issue of Starburst magazine, just out in the UK, features an exclusive interview with actor Zachary Quinto, who plays the villain Sylar in the hit series Heroes. Quinto says he wouldn't mind playing young Spock in J.J. Abrams Star Trek XI prequel. Here are few excerpts from the article.
"When the news about the next Star Trek movie began to surface I became inundated with e-mails and links to websites where people were saying, 'Zach Quinto should play [young] Spock'" says the actor "I started opening myself up to the idea and I think the exploration and immersion to be done with such a character would be amazing."
"I tend to be the type of personb who acts from a very visceral place and reacts emotionally to situations, and to 'become' a character that is completely the opposite of that is one of the reasons why I'm an actor. I would love the opportunity to understand what it is to only operate from a place of logic and look at things so specifically from that perspective."

There are three alien stereotypes of Roddenberry's day that he adhered when he created Spock.
Aliens are 1. stronger than us, 2. smarter than as and 3. they can read our minds.
Any old actor could have pulled off #'s 2 and 3 just due to the writing. But the stronger part. No one would have believed that unless Leonard Nimoy was both tall and had that deep, authoritative voice. It went a long way to believing what today we call "techno babble" coming from less imposing actors.
Any actor playing Spock, even in a reboot, needs to have a deep authoritative voice to make him believable. I'm not sure if Quinto fills that bill, but he is a great actor.
