Re: What actor was completely wrong for the role they were in?

[(Anonymous)]

Zachary Quinto as Spock

I know this is an unpopular opinion. And I know a big issue might be the writing/directing. But everything about his Spock reads "asshole" to me. I found Nimoy's restrained and subtly human Spock to be so much more sympathetic than Quinto's, despite the fact that Quinto's basically suffers tragedy after tragedy.

There's just an edge of condescension to his take on Spock that I despise.

Whereas Nimoy's Spock, whenever he talked about humans, it always came across as not actual superiority or dislike, but as a way to protect himself. Which was far more compelling.

I completely agree, though I dislike most of the cast of those movies! Quinto's my least favourite, either way.

Mmm, yeah. There's definitely been a trend of aloof = smug superiority recently. I think part of Quinto!Spock suffers from the actual script though.

I agree in Into Darkness. I actually liked him in the first one a lot.

I blame the writing for Quinto's Spock (especially in Into Darkness), more than I blame Quinto's performance as him.

I agree so strongly!! Of all the New Trek cast, he looks most like the original, and acts least like him. Not that he's a bad actor, or that the character he's playing isn't interesting, just....his Spock is very, very much not the same character as in TOS.

Spock had a subtle warmth and humor (primarily seen in interactions with Kirk, McCoy, and Uhuru) that I admit I didn't notice til I was older.

Quinto just had ... none of that for me.
