Zachary Quinto May Be Done With Spock
When an actor has come to be associated with one role for a long enough period of time, the feeling of restlessness is inevitable and fully understandable. What is a bit more unusual is when that actor grows weary of a high-profile role after only two outings as that character. However, such seems to be the case with Zachary Quinto and the role of Spock. The actor's second turn as the legendary Vulcan, 'Star Trek Into Darkess,' hasn't even seen the release of its first trailer, and already Quinto seems keen to move on to something new. In a recent interview, Quinto mentioned that, career-wise, he's ready to move in a different direction after next summer's release of J.J. Abrams' second 'Star Trek'movie. He stated...
"It's like an era of association with certain roles - a specific part like Spock, or a kind of part, like Sylar — is coming to an end."
I respect the hell out of Zachary Quinto for so many reasons, but for entirely selfish reasons I wish he would reconsider this. He is so damn good as Spock in the Abrams Trek universe, and that franchise doesn't exactly have a quickly-approaching expiration date. He could theoretically play this role for many many years, especially given he's only the second actor to play The Enterprise's science officer/first officer at all. Leonard Nimoy not only played Spock through multiple seasons on TV, but also in six movie iterations. But then again, most people would be hard pressed to come up with another character that Nimoy has played in his long, illustrious career. Perhaps that is exactly what Quinto is trying to avoid, and I guess I can understand that. It just seems like his fear of being limited by this role is cropping up rather quickly. Give it a couple more movies at least, Zach. But again, I only make that request because I want to see more of his adventures as the stoic icon.
What do you guys think? Are you disappointed that Quinto's reign as Spock appears to be drawing to a close? Though it's still early yet, who would you suggest as a suitable replacement?

just to reiterate.....
simmer down kids. rumors are rumors for a reason. quotes out of context. let's let the second movie come out before we talk about a third...
I doubt he won't be in a third movie if they do a third movie

While he's a great Spock, I hope he leaves when he wants to. Being tied down to one character can really hurt an actor's opportunities to play other interesting roles. Daniel Craig has made three James Bond films and wants to retire the mantle, and Hugo Weaving doesn't want to return to the role of the Red Skull since he doesn't see much growth for that character. I say, let the actors retire when they feel it's right, recast if the studio and audience wants it, and not be so tied down to specific individuals continuing iconic characters.

I would direct you guys to an article but that would probably spoil American Horror Story if you aren't watching it. All you need to know is that he's already addressed these rumors and told you fans to "Settle Down!" He said these are "quotes out of context."
He's not quitting Spock.

He played a pretty freaky role in American Horror Story, maybe he's more interested in doing stuff like that.

You know cause his career has been so good after heroes. If his really planning on leaving his making a big mistake.

I think the quote's been taken out of context but then again, you never know. Either way I hope he stays as long as possible unless they decide to kill him off again.

yeah this seems like an odd move, its seems way too early in this stage of the game for quinto to be type casted. If anything he still resonates with most audience members as "the bad guy from hero's"
then again, i'm not Quinto and i don't know what he's been experiencing when he auditions for roles.
