Here's one of those meta-bizarre moments that can only happen at a place like Comic-Con. We caught up with Zachary Quinto right after his "Heroes" panel but of course all we wanted to do was grill him for "Trek" info. You can check out the full interview here. Or you can watch it below and catch Zachary checking out the Spock poster for "Star Trek" for the very first time.

Clearly this man is meant to play the smartest guy on the Enterprise. I mean who uses a word like "concretized" in their off the cuff conversations? Quinto, that's who as the below video demonstrates. And not only does the brand new Mr. Spock show off his big time vocabulary but he also talks about the first time he donned the Vulcan ears for the upcoming "Star Trek" flick. And after you check out the video be sure to read our latest and greatest new "Star Trek" report complete with new interviews with Quinto, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, and more!

(After the jump, read Rockwell's casting suggestions, and see a video of his impersonating Shatner's classic style alongside our own Tim Kash). Read more...
