Zachary John Quinto (b. 1977) is an American actor. He began acting in small roles in his native Pittsburgh as a child, and claims to have known since a very young age that acting was his calling. He is famous for having Big Ol' Eyebrows, cutting open people's heads, and having pointy ears.

---

This actor and his roles provide examples of:

• All Lowercase Letters: his blog postings and twitter are exactly how you would expect.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows
• Corpsing: Almost broke character when Spock was interrogating Kirk and Scotty; the final scene in the film shows his expression twitching just slightly enough to be missed.
  • Also applies to several scenes in Heroes where Sylar's expression can change just enough to indicate near-corpsing.
• Deadpan Snarker: Plays one of the best, as well as being one himself.
• Even the Guys Want Him: At a recent movie premiere, Paul Bettany groped him in front of a thousand cameras. Adrian Pasdar did the same thing.
• The Klutz / Cloudcuckoolander: According to several accounts from both the Heroes and Star Trek sets and on-the-street Twitter sightings.
  • His Twitter sometimes will lapse into complete nonsense, giving off a Cloudcuckoolander impression.
  • Was nearly hit by a car because he stopped in the middle of crossing a street to take a picture of a balloon.
• Mean Character, Nice Actor: Is quite laid back and sweet in Real Life, but once he gets into character, prepare to be terrified.
• Mr. Fanservice: As Sylar's popularity increased, the writers wrote in more thinly veiled Fan Service moments into his scenes. There is a reason he and Milo Ventimiglia, who plays Peter, have the most shirtless scenes in the show.
  • His guest role on American Horror Story plays up this angle as well.
  • Fetish Fuel Station Attendant: His series of YouTube videos, Before and After and Before and After II feature him in a wide variety of costumes.
• Promoted Fanboy: An avowed drama geek from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, he was extremely pleased to be cast as Louis in a production of Angels in America as he was a fan of the material.
  • Played with in that it wasn't until he was cast as the reboot Spock that he became a fan of Star Trek.
• Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Tends to speak in an articulate manner, although tends to lapse into Buffy-Speak or Sophisticated As Hell in more casual settings.
• Straight Gay: Came out with an offhand comment in a recent interview and prefers to not discuss his personal life.
