I think has often been true on TV, where primetime anybody who learns that about him says, ‘How medical dramas have typically opted for straight can someone be celibate for so long?’ And I think practitioners in lead roles. the answer to that lies in the fact that at that time, gay identity was a singularly defining issue. And But that’s changing, thanks to Dr. Oliver Wolf, if you were a gay man in particular, then that is who happens to be openly gay, on the new NBC what you were — you were ‘a gay,’ whatever you drama “Brilliant Minds.” Zachary Quinto — not did.” a doctor, but gay — portrays Wolf, who leads a team of interns studying the mysteries of the That’s not true for Wolf, as the series establishes brain in his neurology department in New York both his professional and sexual identity, with City. the potential for something more, given the obvious chemistry we see mid-season between “It’s a big deal because it’s not a big deal, him and a hot high school principal (Christopher actually,” says Quinto, 47, best known for Bencomo). Moreover, those exchanges are met playing Spock in the new “Star Trek” movies and as if he were just a straight doctor — that is, this his roles on “American Horror Story.” “Oliver isn’t a show about him being gay.

Coming out in that era, he added, “had the unfortunate His work speaks for itself, and his success is a occurrence of limiting your opportunities and marker of the progress we’ve made that Sacks diminishing the impact that you might be able couldn’t experience in his lifetime. Outside of to make in a particular field because you were “Brilliant Minds,” Quinto has immersed himself discriminated against or alienated or excised from in work that gives clout and voice to the queer experience.

So there was a throughline and a connection that just made sense, really, with them.”

As for Quinto himself, he’s been publicly out since 2011, when he acknowledged being gay after the suicide of bisexual teenager Jamey Rodemeyer, who took his own life at 14. “In light of Jamey’s death, it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality,” he posted on his website at the time.

“I just feel like what I’ve learned from myself is that ultimately integrating with my authentic self, as complicated as that person might be, using that goal as a motivator in my own life, has transformed the way that I see the world and the way that I experience the world,” he says now. “And if that exploration within myself can resonate for other people and young people, whether they’re aspiring to be actors or doctors
