Star Trek star Zachary Quinto has revealed for the first time publicly that he is gay.

The 33 year-old actor acknowledged his sexuality in a New York Magazine article where he spoke about how fortunate he felt after doing the play Angels in America.

“Doing that play made me realize how fortunate I am to have been born when I was born,” Quinto said. “And to not have to witness the decimation of an entire generation of amazingly talented and otherwise vital men. And at the same time, as a gay man, it made me feel like I — there’s still so much work to be done.”

“There’s still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed,” he continued. “The undercurrent of that fear and that, you know, insidiousness still is swarming. It’s still all around us. To revisit that world at all, it took a toll on me. It definitely was an incredible experience but it was really daunting at times.”

Quinto’s sexual orientation has been speculated widely since his breakout role in Heroes but after the article and the attention it received, the actor posted to his blog that he was inspired to come out to the world after Jamie Rodemeyer committed suicide in September.

The 14 year-old Buffalo, NY teenager was bullied for years and finally took his life after making an It Gets Better video.

Quinto said it was his “intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action.”

“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,” the actor wrote on his official website.

Here’s a scene that was deleted from the theatrical version of the film Star Trek.

This scene as well as others will be on the DVD and Blu-ray release of the the film which is coming on November 17th, 2009. I see why the scene was deleted, not that it’s bad, but it just doesn’t feel like it fits with the rest of the film quite as well. It feels a little too campy.

J.J. Abrams talked to MTV about the Star Trek sequel and how to approach it. Here’s the audio clip of him talking about it.

What’s the bigger challenge: rebooting an iconic sci-fi franchise that had lapsed into disrepair, like an interstellar spacecraft whose warp drive missed a couple of tune-ups and could no longer handle faster-than-light-speed travel? Or following up that triumphant reboot with a flick that not only proves to be a worthy successor, but which sets fanboys’ geek phasers on “Oh, hell yeah!”?

Such is the conundrum facing “Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams and his creative team as they begin to brainstorm ideas for a sequel to May’s $258 million-grossing hit. “The first one did what it was required to do, which was bring the family together and reset,” Abrams explained in an interview with MTV News. “It was a bridge, no pun intended, between what came before, what the ‘Star Trek’ people knew and the ‘Star Trek’ of now. And that was the heavy lifting of the first film.”

After the phenomenal success of the first film, the pressure is higher than ever to make a worthy sequel and continue the story on the level it was rebooted at. I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do next.

Zachary Quinto was trying to be incognito yesterday while going out for a lunch of tacos and Coke in Los Angeles. It’s beyond me why we actually like watching him drinking his pop and texting on his phone. Doesn’t every one do that now a days?

Zachary is back to work on Heroes now. He was spotted on the set yesterday even. I can’t wait to see how bad Syler will be in season 4.

Zachary Quinto was spotted with a friend seen boarding an Alaska Airlines flight at LAX to Mexico City yesterday. I am a huge fan of Zachary’s but I am not liking this look. Was he hoping that he wouldn’t get noticed?

Does he have a new movie role that he needs this silly mustache for or does the ‘friend’ like it? Either way, I think he needs to shave it off. I like him much better the other way!

Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine are always seen together. Okay, maybe it’s because they are promoting a movie or maybe it’s because they are really friends.

In this clip Zachary and Chris are singing theme songs from TV Shows. Zachary does the Fraggle Rock show and Chris the Different Strokes show. I think they should go on tour because I think they are that good together. I would watch them for sure sing like that all night.

Zachary Quinto arrived to the premiere of Love The Beast for the Tribeca Film Festival last night in New York. I hadn’t heard of this movie yet so I found out that ‘Love the Beast features celebrities who play themselves showing their love for cars. Zachary really has some brown eyes!

I know that the swine flu is news everywhere and since we have had some cases in the city I live in I guess I wonder how the celebrities are trying to take care of themselves so at least they can live..while us normal people can die. Zachary had a great way not to worry about getting sick…

No, [I'm not worried], because every time I get on an airplane I have a routine. It’s not Airborne. That stuff doesn’t work. What I do is, I cover the inside of my nostrils with anti-bacterial ointment. I’m serious. It’s to block any bacteria from coming in. I’m popping Zicam like it’s candy. And I drink, literally, from L.A. to New York, six bottles of water. One an hour. And then I cryogenically freeze my head for the duration of the flight, just for good measure. No, I’m kidding about that. That would be going too far.

I think he might be onto something there! Catch Zachary as Spock in Star Trek premiering in May.

This is the most recent Star Trek TV Spot.

Nothing much new here, it almost seems like just a piece of the full trailer cut almost directly from it.

A whole bunch of new pictures from Star Trek are out. Click to enlarge.

To see the rest click here.

This movie really seems to have a great visual style, it seems very Sci-Fi, but not too much like the previous movies.
