Have you ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wonder what Zachary Quinto is like in real life? Is he fabulous? He must be!” And don’t even pretend you don’t ask yourself that. We’ve gotten too many Zachary Quinto HGF requests! I know you bitches love him, for whatever reason. Well, prepare yourselves, because this might diminish your crush: he’s kind of a douche. Maybe he was having an off night, maybe he just didn’t want to talk to the press… or maybe he’s a douche.

Last night, the Signature Theatre Company feted Tony Kushner at its 20th-anniversary gala at Espace. There to celebrate the playwright was Mr. Spock himself, Zachary Quinto — star of the STC’s current Off Broadway revival of Kushner’s Angels in America — whom we managed to snag for a brief but extremely personal interview. How personal? You might be surprised!

What’s your post-show ritual?
I like to take showers after the show. And then I read. I’m reading Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom, like the rest of the world. But all these questions are too personal, sorry.

Let’s get less personal then. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Still too personal. Sorry.

Is there anything you feel okay talking about?
I’d rather just talk about Tony. I’m just beginning to learn from him, how to string together so many cohesive, multidimensional, layered, and unique thoughts. [Quinto ends interview.]

I would be interested in seeing the look on Quinto’s face when he said “Still too personal. Sorry.” Was he smiling? Was it tongue-in-cheek. Or did he just whip out his bitch for no reason?

In the grand scheme of bitchy actors, of course this doesn’t make the top ten (THAT’S SO TACKY comes to mind). But it is off-putting considering the only sh-t Quinto has done is… what? Heroes and Star Trek? I mean, really? You’re going to whip your bitch out and front like you’re Russell Crowe?
