An open letter to Zachary Quinto:You don’t know me, but I’m going to give you some helpful advice anyway.You see, I just got back from seeing the new Star Trek film, and I absolutely loved it.The story was great, the characters were interesting.It just rocked.Except one thing.You.While I did my best to pretend that the crazy hair, pointy ears and (even) bigger eyebrows really helped you to BE Spock, the problem is, I just kept seeing–and especially hearing–Sylar from Heroes.Sure, you got the Spock mannerisms down.And the head turns and stiffness of the character.But every time you spoke, I kept waiting for you to shape-shift or start doing that finger/forehead waggle you do on Heroes.Now I realize that there are a ton of folks out there that have never seen that television show, so they won’t have a clue.But not me.I’m a hardcore Heroes fan, and I have to tell you that you’re bordering on some Kevin Costner/Richard Gere acting here.You know, where they play the same character in everything they’re in?So I’m asking you to take one for the team.I think you should punt yourself from Heroes.Why? Becuase you’re about to have a movie with a $100 million opening weekend.That, my new friend, is your future.They’re going to make more Star Trek films.Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an announcement for a sequel come next week.It’s time to do the right thing–for both your career and your fans.Get out of your Heroes contract.Just go away.How?I don’t know. Ask them to kill off Sylar during sweeps.Fake a mercury poisoning attack (hey, it worked for Jeremy Piven). It doesn’t matter how it happens.Just make it happen.I know,it’ll be hard turning down that fat, weekly check.But you’ll make up for it (and more) in the end.Trust me on this.I know what I’m talking about.Best of luck, A fan
