Hitman’s Zachary Quinto Talks Video Games, Diversity & Speaking Spanish

After an unsavory press conference in New York City this past weekend, Zachary Quinto, known for his roles in NBC’s Heroes, Star Trek and now ‘Hitman: Agent 47,’ sat down with us to discuss the popularity and emergence of video games such as Hitman, the reason television is edging out movies in quality content and the reason he is not speaking Spanish fluently right now.

Official synopsis: Hitman: Agent 47 centers on an elite assassin (Rupert Friend) who was genetically engineered from conception to be the perfect killing machine, and is known only by the last two digits on the barcode tattooed on the back of his neck. He is the culmination of decades of research ­ and forty-six earlier Agent clones — endowing him with unprecedented strength, speed, stamina and intelligence. His latest target is a mega-corporation that plans to unlock the secret of Agent 47’s past to create an army of killers whose powers surpass even his own. Teaming up with a young woman (Hannah Ware) who may hold the secret to overcoming their powerful and clandestine enemies, 47 confronts stunning revelations about his own origins and squares off in an epic battle with his deadliest foe.
