Without question the best new show on TV this past year was Heroes. Damn good TV. And one of the characters that made that show so friging wonderful and addictive like sweet sweet crack was the main villain… Sylar. There was something about his overwhelming “Ordinariness” that made him so damn frightening. One of the best TV villains in ages.
Ok, now the guys over at my fellow Canadian website Joblo recently quoted Sylar actor Zachary Quinto about his desire to be in the new Star Trek film. Here’s what he had to say:
Quinto has no doubt ensured himself a career boost after starring in one of television’s most talked about shows, and the actor recently spoke out on one of his dream roles, saying: “I missed the ‘Superman Returns’ boat, so I’m angling for ‘Star Trek.’ People are constantly telling me I bear some resemblance to Leonard Nimoy.” Quinto is also aware of his co-star Greg Grunberg’s close relationship with new STAR TREK director J.J. Abrams (he’s had roles in ALIAS and LOST): “Maybe Sylar should tell Greg, ‘I promise I won’t kill you if you get me an audition,’ …We’ll see what happens.”
Just think about that for a moment. Quinto would make an AMAZING Spock, and not just because he looks like the guy (Just look at that picture). I think the man could pull off a wicked Spock. Just my two cents worth. Could this actually happen? I doubt it… but it’s fun to theorize.
