Is Spock one of the Heroes?

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Heroes star Zachary Quinto could be set for the role of Spock in J.J. Abrams re-boot of the Star Trek franchise. The news comes from E Online through Moviehole...

Zachary Quinto's chances of being Spock in the upcoming Star Trek film are looking extremely good. I hear the deal is about to close. Best. Casting. Ever. Update: Jen here. Following up on K.G.'s brilliant scoop, I checked with a source who confirms that the Zachary Quinto-as-Spock contract is with the business affairs team at Paramount. Business affairs is generally considered the last stop on the deal-negotiation train. The deal only awaits sign-off from outside counsel. Squee.

I only watched the first episode of Heroes and it rather bored me, so I'm unfamiliar with this guy. Could he play the Vulcan then or is he to good looking and human like to you? Will Spock even be a Vulcan in this re-boot? As usual with Star Trek, every bit of news brings with it more questions than answers.
