Quinto clarifies 'Trek' break statements
Zachary Quinto has clarified comments he made in a recent Wired interview concerning his involvement with the Star Trek franchise.
In the article, which was published on Wednesday, the actor revealed plans to take a break from the sci-fi saga for two years. "I'm stepping away from Star Trek for at least two years - no movies, no conventions, no anything for a while," he said.
However, in a post on his official blog today, Quinto addressed those comments and cleared up speculation that he is leaving the franchise and the role of Spock behind.
"Obviously i will be a part of any upcoming films... reprising my role as Spock. What i meant was that in the meantime i won't be making any public appearances related to the franchise - or doing any more auxiliary projects pertaining to the Trek universe (sic)," he wrote.
Quinto added: "I will be focusing my efforts on other projects and preparing to shoot the next film - which will be released in june of 2012... two years from now. Hence the no Trek for two years remark. worry not trekkers. It was a misunderstanding of context. I am not spock. But i am spock. All at the same time."
The Heroes star recently recorded voice work for the upcoming Star Trek Online video game.
