Zachary Quinto

Evan Ross Katz
About this episode

ERK signs off Season 2 with actor and producer Zachary Quinto. We discuss his past acting work including taking on one of the most iconic roles in film and television as Spock in STAR TREK, as well as his time on HEROES, AMERICAN HORROR STORY, SO NOTORIOUS and more, plus we discuss being gifted Tennessee Williams's coke spoon by Cherry Jones, our hometown of Pittsburgh, debauchery, social media cleansing, white privilege, sobriety, coming out and so much more. Plus, Sarah Paulson and Charlie Carver join in on the fun with some questions for Zach. All that, and Evan and Matt are bowing out of the season with a post-mortem and (long-winded?) discussion about social media fatigue.
