In some of the most spot-on casting news we’ve seen in a long time, Zachary Quinto (Sylar in hit TV show Heroes) is apparently moments away from being cast as a young Spock in JJ Abrams’ upcoming Star Trek prequel.
The actor and his well-suited eyebrows have been campaigning for a while now for the part and looks like it’s finally paying off. And not only does he look right for Spock, but his cold, sinister role as Sylar should easily transfer over to a cold, logical role as Spock. Plus, they both begin with ‘S.’ It’ll be like he never left the Heroes set.
This news further proves that Abrams is casting Spock and Kirk as young twenty-somethings, a fact that was revealed by Matt Damon recently, who was considered too old for the part.
All will most likely be announced at Comic-Con.
