The resemblance to Leonard Nimoy could be a bonus to Heroes villain Zachary Quinto. The actor is in negotiations to play the Spock in next year's Star Trek XI movie. Quinto told Starburst Magazine: "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'. 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."
We will know soon enough. Official casting announcements for the movie are expected to be made at this week's Comic-Con in San Diego.
