Zachary Quinto.

Zachary Quinto, best known for starring on the NBC show “Heroes” and playing Spock in the Star Trek remake, has come out of the closet in the upcoming issue of New York magazine, according to one of its editors.


Mark Harris, an editor at the weekly, tweeted, “Congratulations to Zachary Quinto, out and proud in the new issue of New York magazine.”
Quinto played a gay character on the VH1 sitcom “So NoTORIous,” and will also play a gay man in Ryan Murphy’s FX series “American Horror Story.”
Just a year ago, when asked in a New York Times article about Internet rumors about his sexuality, Quinto told the paper, “The fact that these things are such hot-button issues right now, socially and politically, I would much rather talk about that than talk about who I sleep with.
