Heard a podcast interview with Zachary Quinto and he said he was up for the role of Spock in the new Star Trek movie. I think that's a perfect choice. As Sylar, his voice has almost the perfect cadence and in the scenes he has as Gabriel Grey with his mother The Hard Part, he looks very much like a young Leonard Nimoy.

Perfect casting. I hope it goes thru.

He definitely has that eyebrow thing working for him.

I think ZQ will have no problem playing Spock, but then again, Spock is an easy character to portray.

But.... but.... that could quite possibly mean no more Sylar on Heroes! :'( lol. I think he'd do a good job, though, as long as they don't have to kill off Sylar for him to shoot Star Trek.
I've actually only ever seen a few episodes of the old series, I've never been a big Star Trek fan, myself (I <3 Star Wars!!), but Zach Quinto could make a fan out of me Wink

haha.

As long as he can keep the emotions in check, I think Zach would be perfect for the role! Now if I could only convince them to cast Ecceleston as Bones, then we'd be set! Of course, in the series, Doc was a good old boy, so I guess the lines wouldn't quite fit, now would they?

Ok, so I voted, and by pure accident I voted for the wrong option. I think he'd be good for the role personality-wise. Now we just need someone to photoshop a pic of Zach so he looks more spock-like and we can see if he'd fit the part completely.

Yes, i heard this too! Although i think he's a bit too hairy, he defiantly has "the look".

Even though I don't have the "hots" for Zachary, I do believe he will be perfect in the role. I hope he gets it.

And I am sorry Acidburn. I don't hink Sylar survives very long into Season 2, but if he does, "I'll eat my shorts man!" (said Bart). Wink

If Zachary Quinto couldn't be Q (crazy, all-powerful, passionate guy? who'd have thunk it?), then Spock would be my next choice. He'd have to stay clean-shaven Sad

Or he'd make a hot Borg. I'd also love for him to be Dr. House's new intern next season, someone who's so weird it makes even House stop in his tracks.

What's the life expectancy of a good clone these days, anyways?

I would like to nominate Michael Fishman
from the Roseanne show that was on in the late 80's.
That poor kid who played DJ
just got weirder looking each year...
He probably looks just like Spock by now
and more than likely could use the work.

Actually Zone, I'd have to say that if they ever make a remake of "The Munsters" he'd be a great fill-in for Eddie Munster. I don't think I could handle him as a SPOCK-type of character, but his face and seeming mischevious glint in his eyes did strike me as the perfect Eddie type of character..

However, I still don't know besides Herman Munster who else would be good for the show. I don't have a Lilly, a Grandpa, or and Ellie.. Heck, with only 2 out of the 5, I'm kinda sunk Sad
