Zachary Quinto: The New "Spock"
Just ten years ago, actor Zach Quinto was a budding thespian fresh out of Carnegie Mellon Drama School in Pittsburgh. He went on to land several television roles, but it was his portrayal of the super villain Sylar on NBC's "Heros" that catapulted his screen career... now he's playing an American icon -- Spock -- in Paramount's new Star Trek movie, out in theaters today. What's it like playing a cultural phenomenon? And how does one translate traditional stage training to a big screen, popular summer release? Larry talks with Quinto.
