Zachary Quinto is making history as the first openly gay actor to play a lead gay doctor on primetime network TV. In NBC's Brilliant Minds, Quinto stars as Dr. Oliver Wolf, a neurologist inspired by the life and work of real-life gay neurologist Oliver Sacks. Quinto sat down with Gayety to talk about the significance of this groundbreaking role and why it’s more than just about queer representation—it’s about destigmatizing mental health, exploring relationships, and showing the complexities of human connection.
