I just read about this at the Star Trek Movie Blog.
Zachary Quinto, who plays the villain Sylar on the hit show ‘Heroes’ wants to be the new Spock.
I think he’d be perfect for the role. He’s a great actor and looks the part too. For anyone who doesn’t watch “Heroes” (you should), he also played the computer geek character Adam from season three of 24. I suppose it’s possible too since Mr. Qinto’s co-star on Heroes (Greg Grunberg) has known JJ Abrams since around kindergarden. Mr Abrams is of course best known as one of the producers of both Lost and Alias and director of Mission Impossible III. He is also slated to produce the next Star Trek movie. Rumor has it that the movie with be a prequel to the Original Series from the sixties. It supposedly will depict a young Kirk and Spock. Like I said, I can see Mr. Quinto playing the role of Spock and he does have the connections. It should be interesting to see if this goes anywhere.

The group of us here at Saint Meinrad that meets every Monday in the TV room to watch “Heroes” agrees. Quinto is Spock.
Dude. The opinion of a bunch of Saint Meirnrad students who get together every Monday to watch Heroes is totally a blog post waiting to happen. Make it so!
