No one can accuse Zachary Quinto of being typecast.
 Before playing the brain-eating Sylar on NBC’s “Heroes” he was Tori Spelling’s fabulous friend Sasan on VH1’s “So noTORIous.” He got his first big break as CTU operative Adam Kaufman on the third season of Fox’s “24.” “I’ve worked long and hard to learn my craft in a way that allows me to go from one thing to another,” Quinto said. “But the unfortunate reality of Los Angeles and Hollywood is oftentimes people see you as one thing, and then they get that image stuck in their heads and they don’t really expand beyond it. That’s why it’s such a breath of fresh air to be working with people who can see the stuff I’ve done in the past and allow it to enhance their awareness of what I’m capable of.” But how does a self-described nice guy play one of TV’s sickest baddies? “I connect to a lot about him, actually,” he said. “I think there are parts of this character in everybody. This kind of hunger, this kind of need for validation and attention is in everybody. And it’s a real opportunity to explore that part of myself.” [...] “Nothing else could even come close to fulfilling me as much as acting does,” he said. “And I think that’s a really important thing because if you can imagine yourself doing something else, you should do something else. You really should. Because it’s not an easy life. It’s really hard. There’s a lot of struggle. You come up against a lot of your own demons. This town particularly can feed those demons if you let it. You have to have blind faith.” Quinto hopes that after the hype around the series dies down, fans will explore the meaning behind “Heroes.” “The thing that drew me to the show in the first place more than anything else is the fact that I really feel the message of this show is important right now. People are awakening to their own power to stop evil in the world. We need to change the world, or we’re not going to be around to enjoy the next installment of ‘Heroes.’ ” |
