Quinto: was it THIS board?

You're right. What I should have said was acting roles outside of trek. I know he did a bit of television and still does from time to time. I pay pretty close attention to times when crew members appear in other shows. From a family standpoint I know also that many members of the acting community that is the breadth of trek got to try there hands at other jobs during their tenure there.
It is different though when you take on an iconic role such as Quinto has done. As comparisons will be made even if they really shouldn't be. In this case even as both were in the same movie it's even harder to avoid. I found Quinto's Spock a bit more simple then Nimoy's as it should have been. We did see Spock before Kirk in the series though - Despite NBC's arrangement to have Kirk commanding prior to Pike. As The Cage is the true pilot of the TOS series. So as many have mentioned it's that Spock I was thinking as I watched Quinto.
In the movie though the Elder Spock 'no fault of Nimoy mind you' has become a matchmaker. Depriving the fans of the moment where both Kirk and Spock implicitly trust each other. That is not based on any other evidence they believe what each other is telling them. That fast tracking to their relationship kind of messed things up for me. Not a deal breaker mind you as I still enjoyed the movie very much. Just that they should have found a better way besides time travel to bring that about.

If that were true they would have run from Star Trek and never looked back.
If it WAS this board, and when considerring everything said in the "Quinto Appreciation Thread", he'll probably never visit again.
then again, he might be one of our many lurkers
plus, one can tell Quinto has really thick skin.
that was really the biggest problem I had with the movie. it was too much, too often. yes, we know, you're good friends, brothers even. but there's really no need to hit us over our heads with it umpteen times.
as for Nimoy, I daresay he's had a good career, all things considered. A Woman called Golda, Marco Polo and Vincent come to mind, not to mention Baffled -- a guilty pleasure of mine for years.
Let's all just agree to collectively SAY it was this board...just to stroke our own egos.
Says the master of the self-stroke.
Had to say.
You're just mad I wont send you webcam footage of my method.
$2.00 the first download. $45.00 each additional download, plus the souls of each of your firstborn.
You see through my master plan like a Jim Belushi sitcom plot.
What would ZACHARY do in that situation...
I wonder.
Would he...SHOUT?
I wonder.
Would he...SHOUT?
DAMMIT, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was me! ME!
...seriously I did mention here that "hey there's this guy from 24 who looks just like a young Leonard Nimoy and if they ever thought about recasting TOS..." This was before there was any inkling of recasting TOS. At the time, I was thinking, "yeah right."
Okay now I'm a little freaked out.
Yep... I do recall you making that suggestion. Neat. 
Then maybe it WAS this board...
I wish Zach would come back and visit at least once. What's the harm?

Let's see if we can flush him out from his cover with insults.
We know you're reading this, Zach. Your taste in clothing is horrible. Pink and orange plaid, what were you thinking?
Plus I feel sorry for the Heroes writers that their brilliant scripts are being ruined by your utter lack of acting talent.
(If that doesn't work, nothing will.)
