Celia Keenan-Bolger and Brian J. Smith on Zachary Quinto

Brian, “He’s an artist. To watch him in rehearsal is incredible because he doesn’t take any moment for granted. If something’s not working, he questions and questions it, sculpts it until it’s just right. He doesn’t settle. I have an insane amount of respect for Zach Quinto especially with what he’s done with one of the most iconic roles in American theater. He’s really something else.” Celia, “I feel like whenever you hear about movie stars being cast in theater, I’m always, unfairly, skeptical because I feel like they are more of a box office draw. I knew Zach and I knew that he trained at Carnegie Mellon, but the first day we sat down and read the play I felt like they found somebody not only who has the chops, but was also born to play this role. I think he has some sort of deep understanding of this in addition to his unbelievably technical mastery of language.” Brian, “His voice. He probably has one of the most beautiful stage voices I’ve ever heard which is kinda rare in someone who’s made a lot of TV and film. The first time we got in the theater and you hear that voice, it’s like honey. It makes me actually insanely jealous.” Celia, “He’s also a wonderful social director. We almost every night end up at his apartment, sit around the kitchen table and talk and have a bourbon.” Brian (laughing), “Sometimes he plays the banjo.”
