No TV for Zachary Quinto

Posted: January 28, 2012

Zachary Quinto doesn’t watch television.

The ‘Heroes’ actor insists he is too busy to make the time to view shows on a regular basis and he prefers to catch up with DVD box sets instead.

He told Empire magazine: “I don’t really watch TV – is that awful?

“I’m more of a box set gut. I just don’t have time to tune in every week.

“However, I am obsessed with this show ‘Homeland’. Like, really obsessed. It is amazing.”

Zachary believes he owes many of his personality traits to his Italian genes, but jokes his Irish heritage comes out in the kitchen.

He said: “I think the Italian side comes out more strongly. I’m kind of fiery and I really enjoy a long lunch with bottles of wine and friends.

“I’m maybe more Irish in the kitchen. Although I make an amazing egg sandwich and a fierce cranberry relish.”

Last year, the 34-year-old actor revealed he is gay but insists he doesn’t want his sexuality to be a “big” issue.

He said: “It was just the right time. I can’t explain it any other way. But I don’t want it to be this big thing.

“I think things are changing for gay actors. I just have to do good acting work and that’s the contribution I can make.”
