Quinto takes a break; Nimoy returns to Fringe.


Zachary Quinto has announced that he is taking a break from Star Trek for "at least two years", according to Wired. I understand that he wants to pursue other goals before saddling up to play Spock again for Star Trek 2 (which, despite not even having been written yet, already has a release date of June 29, 2012), but I can't help but be saddened that this means no convention appearances, since he really hasn't done that many. I wish him luck in his non-Trek and non-Heroes endeavors and look forward to seeing him do other things.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Spock spectrum, Leonard Nimoy is set to reprise his role as Dr. William Bell in Fringe's two-part season two finale. Entertainment Weekly reports that there will be a confrontation between Bell and former science partner, Dr. Walter Bishop (played by John Noble).

News Roundup.


As previously reported, the soon-to-be-released Star Trek Online is currently in open beta. Today they released a huge patch for the game which includes Leonard Nimoy's "audio journal overview" upon entering a new sector. The patch also removes the level cap and opens up Cardassian and Romulan Sectors to Federation players, among other changes.

Leonard Nimoy will be stopping by the town of Vulcan on April 23 (Hey! That's my birthday!) before making his appearance at Calgary Comic Expo that weekend.

On Thursday, Zachary Quinto made a guest appearance in episode 7 of the comedy podcast Yoda & Me. Quinto plays "the director" in the outtake footage of Yoda filming The Empire Stikes Back. It's quite hilarious. Click here to launch iTunes and download/subscribe to Yoda & Me or visit the YodaAndMe.com.

Zachary Quinto will also be performing in a one-night only, benefit performance for Naked Angels New Play Fund on January 28 at 7:30pm in New York. For more information and tickets, check out their website. He'll also be appearing at the Ojai Plays event Hearts On Fire on January 30. Tickets for the event are sold out.

And finally, ONTD_StarTrek's UNICEF page are still taking donations for Haiti; at the time of posting, 641 people have donated $16,952.

Birthday Wishes.


We here at Spock Lives would like to wish our new Spock a happy 32nd birthday today.


Zachary is currently in Mexico for the premeire of Star Trek, which is still going pretty strongly in the U.S. box office. It's just passed the $200 million mark, making it the first movie of 2009 to do so. We'd also like to link to a petition by Sylar's Army for Zach to host an upcoming episode of SNL.


Also, be sure to check out Mr. Quinto's Fashion 360 from this past weekend's MTV Movie Awards.
