Zachary Quinto Joins Season 3 of HANNIBAL

Zachary Quinto is gearing up to reprise his role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek 3 (rest in peace, Leonard Nimoy), but the actor also has a new TV gig on the horizon. According to EW, the Heroes star will join the cast of NBC's Hannibal for at least one episode in its upcoming third season.

This is a guest-starring role, and Quinto will appear as a patient of Dr. Bedelia du Maurier (Gillian Anderson), so it seems fairly likely that he'll end up getting killed off relatively quickly. Still, it should be good to see Quinto in a new TV role; his work on The Slap hasn't exactly earned him any new fans, and this should be a far cry from his character on HBO's Girls. Are you looking forward to seeing Quinto potentially come face to face with Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) in the new season?
