Zachary Quinto Talks About His Relationship with Leonard Nimoy


Zachary Quinto went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where the two talked about his soulless “I’m going to murder you” roles, his heavy-laden brow, and his relationship with the late Leonard Nimoy.

I’ve never known anybody–we actually lost Leonard a year ago on the 27th of this month, so much love to him and his family as always–but I’ve never met somebody actually who so fully embodied a sense of fulfillment in their life. I really haven’t. He was such a tremendous artist and philanthropist and generous person and so intelligent and I miss him all the time. I really miss him so much at this point, obviously, marking the anniversary of his passing. He was one of the greatest gifts that my career has brought into my personal life for sure.

Quinto also mentions how Nimoy’s wife, Susan Bay, flew to New York to attend his opening night of the play Smokefall, saying “she’s as much a part of my life as he was. I feel really lucky to have known them on so many levels.”
