He is known for his roles as Sylar on Heroes (2006–2010); Spock in the film Star Trek (2009) and its sequels Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) and Star Trek Beyond (2016); Charlie Manx in the AMC series NOS4A2, and Dr. Oliver Thredson in American Horror Story: Asylum, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination. He first appeared on television in the short-lived television series The Others, and appeared as a guest star on shows including CSI, Touched by an Angel, Charmed, Six Feet Under, Lizzie McGuire, and L.A. Dragnet. In 2003, during the theatrical run of Endgame by Samuel Beckett at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles, while playing the role of Clov, he landed a major recurring role as computer expert Adam Kaufman on the Fox series 24. In 2006, he played the role of Sasan: the haughty, bisexual Iranian-American best friend of Tori Spelling on her VH1 series So NoTORIous. Later that year, he joined the cast of Heroes as Gabriel Gray, better known as the serial killer Sylar, until the series cancelation in 2010. In 2008, he joined with Corey Moosa and Neal Dodson to form Before the Door Pictures. The company produced projects in film, television, new media, and published two graphic novels in a deal with comic book publisher Archaia Entertainment. In 2009, he played Spock in Star Trek, a role which he was lauded for bringing his own spin to a decades-old character and a role he is set to reprise in the second film in the new series. In 2010, Quinto's company Before the Door Pictures produced Margin Call, an independent film about the financial crisis of 2007–08, which received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, by J. C. Candor. (Quinto played the role of Peter Sullivan in the film.) Quinto was an executive producer for Chandor's next film All Is Lost (2013) with Robert Redford as the sole actor. In October 2011, he began a recurring role on the FX series American Horror Story as Chad, former owner of the house. He returned for the second season in one of the lead roles, as Dr. Oliver Thredson. He has taken time to perform on stage in various productions including Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. In 2018, he starred in the Broadway play The Boys in the Band. He has modeled for magazines including GQ and August.
Owlman is a 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics Supervillain of the same name. Written by Steven Spielberg and co-produced by RatPac-Dune Entertainment, it is intended to be the first film in a DC Comics shared Villains Universe. Directed by Sam Raimi, the film stars Gustaf Skarsgård in the title role, alongside Gemma Arterton, Lucas Till, Zachary Quinto, Chris Hemsworth, and Bruce Willis. The film was released theatrically on April 21st 2021, a few months before the Swamp Thing (set in the DC Extended Universe). Owlman was a box-office bomb, grossing $241 against a budget of $156 million, and lost over $80 million, unlike The Swamp Thing, which was a financial box-office success and performed far above expectations. The film was widely praised for Skarsgård's performance, direction, action sequences, dark tone, musical score, story, cinematography, themes, and emotional depth, with many considering it one of greatest superhero films ever made. A sequel is in development.
