* EruditeStoner: Admitted to being a marijuana smoker on an interview with Howard Stern. He knew quite a bit about the various paraphernalia, and prefers it socially and in moderation. His character of Jackson in ''We'll Never Have Paris'' has a vaguely stoner vibe to him.

* TheKlutz: His Twitter sometimes will lapse into complete [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1s28xxGbX1qbf154o1_1280.jpg nonsense]], giving off a CloudCuckoolander impression.



* ParentalSubstitute: He lost his father at a young age, and Creator/LeonardNimoy came to fill that role for him as they worked together on ''Star Trek''.



* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 6'2, dark-haired and quite handsome as well as [[TallDarkAndSnarky quite snarky]].

* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Tends to speak in an articulate manner, although tends to lapse into BuffySpeak or SophisticatedAsHell in more casual settings. Both Sylar and Spock are known for long lines of dialogue.
** He plays this up to its full hilt on the press tours for ''Film/StarTrek2009'' and ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness''. In order to entertain themselves and alleviate the boredom of press junkets, he and Creator/ChrisPine engaged in a game of cramming in as many vocabulary words as they can into their answers, regardless of the context.
* StraightGay: One of the most visible examples
* StrongFamilyResemblance: As seen [[http://lucystillintheskywithdiamonds.tumblr.com/post/164744417474/canvuljan-soyiyoyo-quinto-brow-brothersjoe here]], Zachary and his brother look remarkably alike, especially around their similar BigOlEyebrows.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: He's 6'3 and quite the looker.

->''What scares me? Oh, now that's a big question. I don't know what scares me - cockroaches, nuclear apocalypse. Fear is an interesting thing. It has a place in all of our lives. I try to be as fearless as possible. I don't always succeed, but I like to think I try.''

'''Zachary John Quinto''' (born June 2, 1977 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American actor.

** Creator/StephenTobolowsky talks about working on ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' during one of his podcasts, and despite only sharing a single deleted scene, describes him as 'the sweetest guy' in admiring tones. Take note, this was a scene in which Zach's character killed Stephen's, and Zach apologized numerous times. Stephen only mentions Creator/KristenBell as being just as nice.
