Zachary grew up in the Pittsburgh suburb of Green Tree; his father John, a professional hairdresser, died of cancer when Zachary was seven years old. Being 11 years old, Quinto appeared in productions of musical theatre as a member of the Pittsburgh City Light Opera ensemble, but won his first acting award in high school – the Gene Kelly Award for his role in the play “Pirates of Penzance”, which decided him to take the path of an actor, so he went to study at the Central Catholic High School, and then graduated from the musical theatre program at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
Zachary started his professional career as an actor by landing small roles in television series, including “The Others” (2000), “Touched by Angel” (2001), “Lizzie McGuire” (2002) and “Charmed” (2003) among others. From 2006 to 2010 was a period of success, with the role of the serial killer Gabriel Gray (Sylar) in the hit series “Heroes”, which considerably enhanced his net worth. In 2011, he appeared in the role of Chad in the horror series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk – “American Horror Story: Murder House” – and then returned in “American Horror Story: Asylum” (2012–2013) in a larger role, embodying the mysterious Dr. Thredson, an interpretation for which he subsequently won the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie in 2013.
Quinto now went on to appear on the big screen; he co-starred in and produced the independent drama film directed and written by J. C. Chandor “Margin Call” in 2011; the film received several nominations for and awards from renowned film awards: New York Film Critics Circle, San Francisco Film Critics Circle, National Board of Review and Independent Spirit Awards and others. Afterwards, he starred in the films “What’s Your Number?” (2011), “We’ll Never Have Paris” (2014) and “Hitman: Agent 47” (2015), which really established his status and net worth.
Several subsequent films in which Quinto has appeared include “Snowden” (2016), “Star Trek Beyond” (2016) as well as “Aardvark” (2016), steadily increasing the total size of Zachary Quinto’s net worth too.
Finally, in the personal life of the actor, Quinto openly announced that he is gay in 2011, and in 2012 he confirmed that he was in a relationship with actor Jonathan Groff, but then in the middle of 2013, Quinto announced the separation of the couple. Since 2013, he has been in a relationship with the artist and model Miles McMillan. The couple resides in their apartment located in Manhattan.
[on his view of the title character in 'Snowden', having impersonated another real-life participant himself] I went in feeling like what he did was immeasurably beneficial to society, and that belief was only reinforced by working on the film. Once I started understanding more about the information that he disseminated, it was shocking how grievously it was an invasion of many people's privacy...Look - it's complicated, but I feel like he was vilified in a way.

I have a dualistic self. There are two sides of my personality: one is outgoing and gregarious; the other is introspective and thoughtful. I am an intellectually minded person and also very compassionate, which are qualities Spock possesses as well.

[about his father] He was really, really bad-ass and confident and sexy and intelligent and sensitive and curious. For years after he died, people would go out of their way to let me know how much he meant to them. And every time I heard it I was always so grateful to him for living that life. Now that I'm older, I know it's because that's what matters - the things people can tell your child about you - and I realize my father gave something really special to me even though he wasn't here to give it to me in person.

[on losing his father to cancer at 7-years-old] I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death. I had to do a lot of work on the couch to really get to a place where I was able to show up to a relationship with someone who was actually capable of being in one - and that took a lot of trial and error. And I'm still working on all that stuff - that will never stop. But I definitely want kids... I want to share.

[Zachary Quinto, on October 16, 2011, on his own blog, commenting on his decision to "come out" as gay on a New York Magazine article] When I found out that Jamey Rodemeyer killed himself - I felt deeply troubled. But when I found out that Jamey Rodemeyer had made an "It Gets Better" video only months before taking his own life - I felt indescribable despair. I also made an it gets better video last year - in the wake of the senseless and tragic gay teen suicides that were sweeping the nation at the time. but in light of Jamey's death - it became clear to me in an instant that living a gay life without publicly acknowledging it - is simply not enough to make any significant contribution to the immense work that lies ahead on the road to complete equality. Our society needs to recognize the unstoppable momentum toward unequivocal civil equality for every gay lesbian bisexual and transgendered citizen of this country. Gay kids need to stop killing themselves because they are made to feel worthless by cruel and relentless bullying. Parents need to teach their children principles of respect and acceptance. We are witnessing an enormous shift of collective consciousness throughout the world. We are at the precipice of great transformation within our culture and government. I believe in the power of intention to change the landscape of our society - and it is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action. Jamey Rodemeyer's life changed mine. and while his death only makes me wish that I had done this sooner - I am eternally grateful to him for being the catalyst for change within me. Now I can only hope to serve as the same catalyst for even one other person in this world. that - I believe - is all that we can ask of ourselves and of each other.

What scares me? Oh, now that's a big question. I don't know what scares me - cockroaches, nuclear apocalypse. Fear is an interesting thing. It has a place in all of our lives. I try to be as fearless as possible. I don't always succeed, but I like to think I try.

I love when you aren't accountable to anybody or anything, and you can just be wherever you are.

The interesting thing about my character Sylar is that my strengths as an actor seemed to go completely against the shape of a character in the shadows. I stepped into this character and then realized how much there was to play with.
