Notes from Venus posted an exclusive interview with Heroes and Star Trek star Zachary Quinto. Here are few excerpts.
You've now been cast as Spock in director J.J. Abrams' upcoming Star Trek film. Did your role in Heroes help you land that part?
Obviously [Heroes] afforded me this opportunity because the show is so well regarded. But I think the landscape of the industry has changed. It used to be that TV actors were TV actors, film actors were film actors and never the two shall meet. Now there are a lot more opportunities for crossover.
How does the Star Trek project affect your Heroes schedule?
There are 85 days in which I will not be able to shoot Heroes. Whether or not I'm able to return to Heroes after those 85 days remains to be seen. But when you make a decision to leave one thing to pursue another you have to be aware of the risk involved. The show is going to evolve without me but I'm very hopeful that they'll find a way to bring me back. But you never know where the stories are going to go. I believe that [the writers] know what's best for this character so time will tell.
Were you a Star Trek fan growing up?
I was a fan, but definitely not a fanatic. I've been learning a lot about the mythology the past couple of months. It's been really fascinating for me and I was really grateful to have been cast early [in the role] because it's given me a lot of time to immerse myself in that world and learn about it.
Have you met Leonard Nimoy [who originated the role of Spock]?
I have, actually. We spent time together. It's very important to me to have his support and involvement in the film. He had to approve the casting and I have such a deep respect for him as an artist. He's really inspirational to me. I feel that's the biggest honor for me is to spend time with him and to learn from him.
What else can we expect to see you in?
It's important for me to exhibit that I can do other things. After Star Trek I hope to go and do a comedy to show a completely different facet of my ability.
Ever worry that you'll now be typecast as a bad boy?
Hopefully not. Now I just have to break out of the sci-fi genre.
