He does everything well, be it theater, television or cinema. With a career that promises many successes, what started as a hobby has become a vocation. Zachary Quinto is an actor who loves what he does and puts all his passion into it, both in his work and in defending him.

Quinto comes from a family of Italian-Irish descent, born in Pittsburgh, raised in Green Tree, Pennsylvania. There, he graduated in 1995 from Catholic High School, where he began doing theater. His desire to be an actor led him to study acting at Carnegie Mellon University, graduating in 1999. His memorable works in theaters during this time stand out, such as “Side Man”, “Gross Indecency”, “Much Ado About Nothing” or “A Lonely Impulse of Delight”, among others.

He moved to Los Angeles, to start his career. She soon racked up a large number of small television roles. CSI , Charmed , Six Feet Under , Touched By an Angel , among the most prominent. His big break first came in 2004, when he started working on the series 24 , as Adam Kaufman, a computer analyst, opposite Kiefer Sutherland . Following his first major role, he briefly played Tori Spelling’s boyfriend on the critically acclaimed but less than successful series So noTORIous . Later, in 2006, he became a star thanks to the NBC series, Heroes ., where he played a murderous psychopath with superpowers, Sylar Gray.  

He made the leap to the big screen in 2009, aboard the Enterprise from the Star Trek saga directed by JJ Abrams , where he played a young Spock. He would reprise Star Trek Into Darkness and share credits with Kevin Spacey in Margin Call . He then returned to television to star in American Horror History: Murder House and its second season American Horror Story: Asylum . Zachary has also founded a production company with his friends Neal Dodson and Corey Moosa, developing projects for different platforms.
