I still don’t think – even with Nimoy’s warning – that Quinto still fully appreciates what he is walking into. But he will learn soon.

I don’t think anyone should be worrying about Zachary being able to change his voice! He does it for all of his roles – he doesn’t sound a bit like he does in real life when onscreen. The man graduated from Carnegie Mellon with an acting degree – I’m sure voice training was included. :)

I think they should have Nimoy do the Spock lines and dub it in over Quinto’s acting. :)

Re 12: I highly doubt they are going to even consider that an issue.

How are they going to lower Quintos voice to match Nimoys voice? I guess electronically huh?

I really appreciate that Quinto does not seem to be taking his new role lightly and has some idea of what Trek is about and his responsibility to that. That, along with Nimoy’s endorsement, as much as anything has me looking forward to the new film

Quinto seems to possess a quiet, dignified serenity, which is a critical factor in choosing the actor to portray the new Spock. In addition to any “acting chops” the person would bring to the role, the audience will definitely pick up on that aspect of the characterization! Good choice!!

Dennis (#8),

Now THAT’S funny! Of course, everyone knows that Nimoy already had experience before signing on for Star Trek. He was in “Zombies of the Stratosphere” for goodness sake! If that’s not a ticket to sci-fi stardom, I don’t know what is.

Well, you know Nimoy never had watched an episode of “Star Trek” before he was hired to appear in it.

I also found that part of the interview odd. It’s possible that Quinto meant both he and Nimoy would be traveling — Quinto to promote the Heroes DVD and Nimoy for some unspecified reason. That’s why I said “it appears” they will be touring together, because that’s just how Quinto’s reply read. If it’s an error, though, it can be corrected or removed later. I probably should have added something along the lines of “This seems odd, given that Nimoy is not associated with Heroes.” Then again, Nimoy *did* hand out the Future Classic Award to the cast of Heroes at the TV Land Awards, so maybe he’s decided to help promote it as well, though this seems unlikely. It’s also possible that Nimoy is traveling with Quinto so he can continue guiding him on Spock or giving him pointers or something… though that also doesn’t seem plausible. It’s most likely that Quinto meant the y would both be traveling, he just neglected to say they were doing so separately, or that they’re traveling for more than just promoting the DVDs.
