Birthday: Jun 2, 1977

Birthplace: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA

Handsome American actor Zachary Quinto clocked in as an almost constant small-screen presence from the early 2000s onward. A number of his roles constituted extremely memorable ones: he was chilling as Sylar, the mutant psychopath with a flair for mutilating his victims' gray matter, in the superhero-themed NBC fantasy-drama Heroes, and (on a wholly different note) lent an undercurrent of necessary gravitas to his portrayal of God (among other actors playing the role) on the cult favorite Joan of Arcadia. Quinto also helped federal agent Jack Bauer prevent the spread of a deadly plague in season three of the blockbuster Fox drama 24, but left the series thereafter. In 2007, Quinto signed for his first major cinematic role, and a plum one at that: a portrayal of a young Mr. Spock in the 11th installment of the popular franchise, released to U.S. theaters in May 2009 and directed by Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams. The film was a smash hit, bringing Quinto much public attention. In 2011 he had a major role in the Oscar-nominated drama Margin Call, and he joined the cast of American Horror Story that same year.

Quotes from Zachary Quinto's Characters

Spock:	Fear of death is illogical.
Bones:	Fear of death is what keeps us alive.

Spock:	Fear of death is illogical.
Bones:	Fear of death is what keeps us alive.

Kirk:	Why would a Starfleet admiral ask a three-hundred-year-old frozen man for help?
John Harrison:	Because I am better.
Kirk:	At what?
John Harrison:	Everything. Alexander Marcus needed to respond to an uncivilized threat in a civilized time, and for that, he needed a warrior's mind - my mind - to design weapons and warships.
Spock:	You are suggesting the Admiral violated every regulation he vowed to uphold, simply because he wanted to exploit your intellect...
John Harrison:	He wanted to exploit my savagery! Intellect alone is useless in a fight, Mr. Spock. You, you can't even break a rule - how can you be expected to break bone? Marcus used me to design weapons. I helped him realize his vision of a militarized Starfleet. He sent you to use those weapons, to fire my torpedoes on an unsuspecting planet, and then he purposely crippled your ship in enemy space, leading to one inevitable outcome: the Klingons would come searching for whoever was responsible, and you would have no chance of escape. Marcus would finally have the war he talked about, the war he always wanted.

Kirk:	The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Spock:	An Arabic proverb attributed to a prince who was betrayed and decapitated by his own subjects.
Kirk:	Still, it's a hell of a quote.

Kirk:	You used what he wanted against him. That's a nice move.
Spock:	It is what you would have done.
Kirk:	And this, this is what you would have done. It was only logical... I'm scared, Spock. Help me not be. How do you choose not to feel?
Spock:	I do not know. Right now I am failing.
Kirk:	I want you to know why I couldn't let you die, why I went back for you.
Spock:	Because you are my friend.

Kirk:	Spock, my display's dead. I'm flying blind.
Spock:	Captain, without your display compass, hitting your target destination is mathematically impossible.
Kirk:	Spock, if I get back, we really need to talk about your bedside manner.

Spock:

You misunderstand. It is true I chose not to feel anything upon realizing that my own life was ending. As admiral Pike was dying, I joined with his consciousness and experienced what he felt at the moment of his passing. Anger. Confusion. Loneliness. Fear. I had experienced those feelings before, multiplied exponentially on the day my planet was destroyed. Such a feeling is something that I choose never to experience again. Nyota, you mistake my choice not to feel as a reflection of my not caring. Well, I assure you, the truth is precisely the opposite.

Kirk:	This isn't going to be a problem, is it, you two working together?
Uhura:	Absolutely not.
Spock:	Unclear.

Kirk:	Where I come from, if someone saves your life, you don't stab him in the back.
Spock:	Vulcans can not lie.
Kirk:	Then I'm talking to the half-human part of you. All right? Do you understand why I went back for you?

Kirk:	You hear that. Congratulation, Spock. You just saved the world.
Spock:	You violated the Prime Directive.
Kirk:	Oh come on Spock. They saw us. Big deal.

Boyfriend Rick:	I don't know, it just seems kind of serious.
Ally Darling:	I'm sorry. It just um...felt kind of serious last night when you were doing me from behind, but I couldn't see your face, so.
Ally Darling:	I'm sorry. It just um...felt kind of serious last night when you were doing me from behind, but I couldn't see your face, so...

Spock:	This ship will not fit.
Kirk:	Will fit!
Spock:	It will not fit!
Kirk:	Will fit!!! I told you it would fit.
Spock:	I'm not sure that qualifies.

Spock:

KHAN!

Spock:

I don't think that qualifies.

Christopher Pike:	That's a technicality.
Spock:	I am Vulcan, sir. We embrace technicalities.

James Kirk:	When were you going to tell me that?
Spock:	When it became relevant, as it just did.

Spock:

I am expressing many attitudes. To which are you referring?

Spock:

I'm expressing multiple attitudes simultaneously.

Spock:

KHAAAN!

Spock:

I am surprisingly still alive

Leonard "Bones" McCoy:	Permission to speak freely, sir?
Spock:	I welcome it.
Leonard "Bones" McCoy:	Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you're gonna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable."

James Kirk:	I told you we'd fit.
Spock:	I'm not sure that qualifies.

Spock:	We will not fit.
James Kirk:	We'll fit! We'll fit! I told you it would fit!
Spock:	I'm not sure that qualifies.

Capt. Christopher Pike:	Kirk , I'm promoting you to First Officer.
James Kirk:	What?
Spock:	Captain. Please , I apologize. The complexities of human pranks escape me.
Spock:	Captain. Please, I apologize. The complexities of human pranks escape me.
Capt. Christopher Pike:	This is not a prank , Spock. And I'm not Captain , you are.
Capt. Christopher Pike:	This is not a prank, Spock. And I'm not Captain, you are.

Spock:	He said he wanted me to see something; the destruction of my home planet.
Leonard "Bones" McCoy:	How the hell did they do that, by the way? Where did the Romulans get that kind of weaponry?
Spock:	The engineering comprehension necessary to artificially create a black hole may suggest an answer. Such technology could theoretically be manipulated to create a tunnel through space-time.
Leonard "Bones" McCoy:	Damn it man, I'm a doctor, not a physicist! Are you actually suggesting they're from the future?!
Spock:	If you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth.
Leonard "Bones" McCoy:	How poetic..

Spock:	You will experience fear... fear and face of certain death.
Spock:	You will experience fear... fear in the face of certain death.

Spock:	(sees Kirk sitting in Captain's chair) Out of the chair...
Spock:	[sees Kirk sitting in Captain's chair] Out of the chair...

Spock Prime:	Father!
Spock:	I am not our father.

Spock Prime:	Captain what are you doing?
Spock:	Captain what are you doing?
James Kirk (young):	Show them companion, may be the only way to earn peace with Romulus. It's logic Spock, I thought you'd like that.
James Kirk:	Show them compassion, may be the only way to earn peace with Romulus. It's logic Spock, I thought you'd like that.
Spock Prime:	No not really, not this time.
Spock:	No not really, not this time.
