Star Trek: Discovery
Ethan Peck as been cast as Spock in Star Trek: Discovery! The long search for just the right actor was intense, and show runner Alex Kurtzman wanted someone able to fill the iconic role with all of the gravitas of both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto. Said Kurtzman, “We searched for months for an actor who would, like them, bring his own interpretation to the role. An actor who would, like them, effortlessly embody Spock’s greatest qualities, beyond obvious logic: empathy, intuition, compassion, confusion and yearning. Ethan Peck walked into the room inhabiting all of these qualities, aware of his daunting responsibility to Leonard, Zack and the fans, and ready to confront the challenge in the service of protecting and expanding on Spock’s legacy. In that spirit, we’re thrilled to welcome him to the family.” Star Trek: Discovery will return in early 2019.
