Adrien Brody vs. Zachary Quinto: Who'd Be the Better Spock?

Adrien Brody vs. Zachary Quinto: Who'd Be the Better Spock?

September 27, 2007

Adrien Brody recently said in an interview that he was up for the role of Spock in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie, but ultimately he was passed up for Zachary Quinto (who plays Sylar on "Heroes").

Brody says he's disappointed to not be playing the role made classic by Leonard Nimoy. What do you think? Should he have been cast as Spock instead of Quinto?

Zach is geeky, and we all've seen that in 24 in Heroes. Adrien is smart... like special kind of person smart and interesting, but not a geek.

I like them both, but ZQ definately looks like Spock. Maybe they can find a role for Adrian Brody. I like him too. I think he would be such a sweetheart in person.

Adrien should be Data. There's no question in my mind (I have a nerd husband and realize that they're not in the same series, but humor me here).

Totally Zachary. If you've watched Heroes, you know he can act.

Zachary makes the best Spock.

Yup ZQ. Adrian has waaaaaaay too big of a nose, while ZQ literally looks like a younger Leonard Nemoy. Hes a great choice.

Amanda-La 5 years 33 weeks

Definitely not Adrian, he doesn't look a thing like him, but I do think he's hot.

Yeah - i'm sure it's a real stretch to play an emotionless, pointy-eared, green-blooded, vulcan.

I think that Adrien is a MUCH better actor.

Livience, that is so awesome that you thought of that! I love Scrabble! If only we were allowed to use names in the game... :)

Livience 5 years 34 weeks

ZQ, baby!! He's got the look down PAT. Also, I love how many Scrabble points ZQ's name is worth. ;)

Jinx 5 years 34 weeks
