Zachary Quinto : fully human

Now I love Zachary Quinto even MORE !   TGTBT

Actor Zachary Quinto, known for portraying Spock in the 2009 blockbuster film “Star Trek,” has publicly come out as a gay man.



In an interview with New York Magazine published on Sunday, Quinto recalled a stage play he performed in last year, “Angels in America,” which was set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic and the toll it took on him personally.

Quinto, who rose to fame playing the evil killer Sylar on the television series “Heroes,” also mused to the magazine about gay marriage and young gay teens who have committed suicide after being bullied.

He has a recurring character on the FX series “American Horror Story,” in which he plays a gay ghost.

Quinto, 34, is promoting the upcoming film “Margin Call,” which he produced and stars in as well. He will reprise the role of Spock in the another installment of the “Star Trek“ franchise, which goes into production in January.

The folks over at Reddit's Ask Science forum deliberate as to why this is, and they point to a 2008 study that shows it to be effective—not to mention lots of anecdotal evidence on the internet—but whether it's an effect of the nerves in your hand or just a distraction, it looks like it's a pretty useful trick.
