Star Trek’s Zachary Quinto is going from science fiction to science fact.
The Heroes alumnus will play the rebel-rousing leader of a group of guerilla scientists striving to become, in essence, the Steve Jobs of biotech.
The actor will both star in and executive-produce Biopunk, an hour drama based on Wired magazine tech writer Marcus Wohlsen’s book, Biopunk: DIY Scientists Hack the Software of Life, our sister site Deadline reports.
The project will be pitched to networks imminently.
