How his face expression dropped when mentioned Leonard Nimoy. Damn. I miss him everyday as well, Zach.
I F**king LOVED Zachary Quinto's Spock. Leonard was the original, the prototype Vulcan and forever will be alone on his pedestal as the one and only greatest. That said, I think the re-envisioned Spock that Zachary did was perfect for the flavor of reboot films. With Leonard's Spock, there was a palpable stoicism, like there might be some heavy emotion deep down, or not! With Zachary's Spock, he seemed more tightly wrapped and we all knew he was keeping deeply felt emotions in check. I love both for very different reasons and in the end, they are both able to tell a compelling story, through a very compelling character, that keeps me engaged and makes me glad I came along for the ride!
Spock isn’t dead, he just went home.
A wise man once said," He isn't really dead, as long as we remember him."
I still cry as soon as I start thinking about and talking about Mr. Leonard Nimoy.. As a kid growing up with TOS in the mid to late '90s between the ages of 3, 4, and 5 Spock was my favorite character who at the time I always thought he was the coolest looking one and I wanted to look like him🙂Looking back in retrospect I remember feeling like he was my Friend.. and the Brother I wish I had who'd I'd strive to be 🙂 I'm 26 years young and Spock as well as Mr. Leonard Nimoy will be forever a part of my Childhood as well as my life and as I said on the day he left this Earth and went up into the Sky and beyond the Cosmos, I have been.. and always shall be.. your Fan🖖
Quinto, like Nimoy, brings a LOT of gravity to his appearances. Colbert is very sensitive to what his guests bring, and to me usually seems to work with that. I wonder if that was Quinto's own thing, or he learned it from Nimoy. Either way, I love his acting :D He seems like a hell of a good fella!
Leornard was a great actor, and now the world is a sadder place without him.
Leonard Nimoy is Zachary Quinto’s huge inspiration.
Zachary Quinto is a class act. His version of Spock is quite different from Lenard's but equally enjoyable for different reasons.
Leonard can't be beat but zack was good as Spock
Eugene Sidebottom III He did Nemoy justice.
He was phenomenal! Obviously you can never replace an original but that was clearly not the goal anyway, it was a revival and a tribute!
He can’t cz Leonard will use the Vulcan neck pinch on that young whippersnapper. (See car commercial)
Frankly I liked his acting, but I did not like the way they wrote the new spock.
Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto = Spock.
There's something in his looks that reminds me of Jordan Schlansky.
+Juza Aikanen One is an emotionless alien with bizarre tendencies who is probably gay in real life, the other one is Zachary Quinto.
Zachary you played Spock perfectly! You are a very good actor! Hope to see lots of you!
True gentlemen and a great spock
When I first saw him in Star Trek, I've almost liked him. But after seeing him in Heroes, I fell in love with him which finally grew into an attachment.
This guy was an awesome choice to play as Spock! ❤
He looks so confused at 2:26 lmao I love him
Now that is an athletically cut suit. It fits him well, very GQ. Well done.
Zachary Quinto would make a great Namor.
+Edwin Castillo That, my friend, is a good call!
I love me some Zachary . he is so sweet
his voice is so amazing my god
"Often times it's that I'm going to Murder you" lmao
This is not Zachary Quinto, this is Sylar!
Oh Zachary Quinto 💕
best interview with Zachary Quinto, really.
Hew was great on American Horror Story
LLAP 🖖🏻
this guy is kinda part of my teenage yrs along all the other heroes characters
Classy guy.
That interview was waaay too short!
Live long and proper 🖖🏼
Me Zachary quinto big fan mr spock 💪🙋🙌🙆😉
SPOCK!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR VULCAN MIND!?!
Said by Doctor Mccoy
“Green-blooded hobgoblin!”
I haven't seen the new Star Trek movies, but Quinto was just great in his roles on American Horror Story. I can only hope he will return in the next season.
He's excellent as Spock! You should definitely check it out
he is phenomenal as Spock! I say he's giving the role justice.
this guy would make a great Anthony Kiedis in a biopic
Definitely the hawkish brow, ZQ! 😆
Anyone else pee on the side of the toilet at night so you don't make any noise?
+Con O'Neill guess that's a no...
No. I pee right in the middle to assert my dominance on the household.
YOU AGAIN!
+Nick's Strength and Power Often during the waking hours as well.
lmao DUDE I SO DO THAT :-D
When you learn more about acting from a talk show interview than in an actual college acting class... Hey Professor, what's good?!
Either put on a tie, or undo the top button!
I'm still really upset at heroes ending early, they left me on a friggin cliff hanger and I was dying for them to continue but it's been like 6 years since the show was last aired
oh yeah. he was also a huge part of my life. He taught me so much. he was a great guy, oh yeah, you know? Im... Im saying that...😢 sorry... I told myself i wouldn't cry 😖 it's just that... It's... he was An wonderful inspiration the few times I met him 😭 I'm sorry I can't do this...
+Down Haven Entertainment He was being sincere. Quinto has spoken at length about all the time he spent with Nimoy and how much he meant to him. They became very good friends.
Honestly he was so convincing as bloodyface that I have a hard time believing that he's not a psychopath in real life
LMAO his eyebrows come at you like a weapon!
That's it. I'm unsubscribing to (from) Jimmy Fallon.
same here
lol
I never subbed to jimmy Fallon 💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻💁🏻
+Jay Ryan But Conan is funnier. I liked Colbert more on the Colbert Report, but this show is still funny.
Miguel Cabrera True. I still love Conan.
His voice sounds deeper here than when he does Spock. He should deepen his voice for Spock.
rip leonard nimoy
the cosmic ballet...goes on.
Anybody want to switch seats?
great hair
He's a good actor he always looks so menacing and evil
What kind of intro music was that? It's the kind of music that would play while Tom Sawyer is running away after playing some prank.
+Apotheosis garfield's blackberry blossom
oh zachary ooh yasss tall ness ahhh
Mr Spok felt the bern long ago "the Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few " let's just be logical...hahaha
That's a beautiful playbill cover! Does anyone know who the artist is?
Is Quinto looking at cue cards (when he's looking down) when commenting on the late Leonard Nimoy?
I thought he said Andy Kaufman was directing and I nearly pissed myself
I can't look at him without being scared after American Horror Story Asylum
He was fantastic on House. I just started asylum and I am a scardey cat
I remember him too, he was on star wars or something.
No!!! He was in Battlestar Galactica!
Sylar is back..
Hi there
hi
+theringwoodbros Hello
Hi
+theringwoodbros Howdy
I thought Colbert said "he's a virtual actor..." He said, "Versatile actor.." HA !
+TacomaPaul I took him for more of a bottom.
I'm got so used to him without the eyebrows... it's kinda strange seeing him as himself.
Stephen is great at his Job, but i do feel like he interrupts his guests a lot. Most times he does not let them finish their train of thought and that's not good.
Ken Olin from thirty/something? Especially the voice.
"that's nice"
Zach......Mmmmmmm!
Has Zachary done a mob movie set in and about the 1920s, 1930s or 1940s? If not he should.
MY NAME IS SYLAR!!
VARIOUS TASKS AND DUTIES!!!
Like Nimoy, altho the two of them don't show much emotion on the screen, they have very expressive faces.
am I the only one that came here cuz I know him from American horror story
anyone think he should have played Scarecrow in the batman series?
If you part your hair to the left your a villain, part it to the right your a hero. At leas thats what pop culture is trying to teach us.
Bloody face :)
widows peak, always a villain in movies.
He's such an eloquent/cool kind of gay man. He's sophisticated and has style. Not the flaming sex-crazed all-in-your-face kind of gay. I like him. I could have a drink and good conversation with him without fear.
+Heroic Love Where did you meet all the gay guys that were different from this guy? This is is the standard or the vanilla gay guy. Vanilla ice cream is the most common. You find it everywhere.
Tesla Bars and drag contests.
Sorry, no! Drag queens are *not* homosexuals. Quite frankly, they are rather messed up straight dudes.
How do you know he's not sex crazed?
Haha, reality is not what you see on TV.
does he look like Jordan from Conan?
+PictureEthiopia +Jessica Manipon (Jes) Funny, I commented about the same thing at the same time as you did. Maybe Conan was right about him all along...
+PictureEthiopia I was about to say that too! Conan should do something with both Jordan and Zach. They both look like psychotic serial killers :D
Spock and Paul Peterson
I have a feeling he really didn’t want them to bring up Nimoy. The way his face and demeanor changed when Leonard Nimoy was brought up.
He's a vampire
He looks like mr bean
He speaks funny. Is it indicative of the region he's from?
i wish they hadn't done heroes reborn. they fucked up what dignity the series had when it was cancelled
gear box
He looks like he has no soul? Looks like the perfect guy to play Glenn Greenwald.
truuuuuuuuu
Don't you dare, Ms. Kaufman! "I" have a crush on him so you go and have a crush on someone else 😤
BLOODY FACE
Tyrone power , anyone?
Oh no! That is sylar! He want your brain!
Does a very good spock
Exzachary
He's great as Spock but Lenard was the best
Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy is not couple! audi's ad is sick!
First!
Hee'th got a bit of a lithp.
asddddd
I love you Colbert but let your guests talk.... they open their mouth and say the first word and your already completing their entire sentence.... Take a breath... There is no rush
He's a Homo-sapien.
+honey badzer Colbert was soo fishing for that.
I was very unhappy with Jar Jar (Lets Blow Up A Planet!!!) Abrams reboot of Star Trek but - the cast did a good job of the movies - though I didn't care for the plots so much. For Quinto, he was so good in Heroes that I really hated his character and wanted that character dead. It was a major let down for me when that character was not killed in the season finale (though, of course, they weren't going to kill off such a cash cow).
real boyfriend and fake boyfriend double trouble
Jimmy Fallon has a fake laughter.. S C is original..
Hes lying Quinto never even met leonard nimoy what a friggin troll
They must've they had a few scenes together in the movie
no
+NoHype Media Uh, they're literally face-to-face at the end of the first Abrams Trek.
no they didnt they never met. it was all cgi. wake up.
NoHype Media No they didn't shithead. They knew eachother personally. You're an idiot.
VOTE REPUBLICAN!
Nah
