Zachary Quinto Does ‘GQ’ Magazine
Heroes star Zachary Quinto (who will also be playing Spock in the upcoming Star Trek prequel movie this Spring) is featured in the current issue of GQ magazine in a multipage spread that attempts to teach fashionable men “How to buy a Raincoat”. In a few animated photos, Quinto is photographed jumping for joy in this season’s hottest rainwear … behold:
Spock and Awe Zachary Quinto, it appears, was uniquely qualified to play Spock in May’s rejiggered Star Trek. For one thing, the 31-year-old actor has a built-in cult following, thanks to his role as the brain-eater on NBC’s Heroes. But more important: Have you seen those eyebrows? When Quinto heard that J. J. Abrams was rekindling the cherished fanboy franchise, he told his hometown newspaper he wanted the role. “Then that article got syndicated…,” says Quinto. Engage! (To borrow a phrase.) In a few months’ time, the guy was shaving and sculpting his brows to Spock-like spears, and rehearsing scenes with Winona Ryder, who, through the miracle of makeup, plays his mother. (“She’s, like, five years older than me.”) So are there any other roles he’d like to land through the press? “I really want to go on SNL.” Noted. And you’re welcome.
Clearly, raincoats cannot be full appreciated in photos unless they are worn by a person in midair. The photoshoot is a cute one, tho … I wonder how many times exactly ZQ had to jump thruout the course of the day just to get the four best shots for publication. I’ve been a fan of Quinto since his days on the short-lived Tori Spelling series So noTORIous aired on VH1 all those years ago. Back then, Zachary played an oversexed gay guy who wasn’t shy about showing skin OR sucking face with other dudes on the show. HMMM. Those were the good ol’ days. I am really, really looking forward to seeing Quinto play Spock in Star Trek. True, his eyebrows seem to be made for the role but I have a sneaking suspicion that he also possesses the skill to pull off the part expertly. I guess come May, we’ll know for sure. For now, I guess we’ll just have to entertain ourselves with these fun photos of Zachary jumping around in raincoats.

These photos came out great! I love him on Heroes and I am looking forward to seeing Zachary in Star Trek. I never did watch Tori’s show though so I missed him on that. I do remember when he appeared on Charmed (my favorite show ever).

Cool clothes, not too keen on Zachary though, I’m not sure if it’s the eyebrows or what but he doesn’t do it for me at ALL.

I absolutely adore this guy…He’s the only reason I watch Heroes nowadays, all the other characters are just soooo boring and his has a “Tarantino” quality to it that just makes that show fantastic!
Also, the fact that he’s absolutely cute doesn’ hurt either…
