Zachary Quinto responded yesterday to Leonard Nimoy‘s announcement that Nimoy was retiring.
Sharing his thoughts during WET Production’s Stars Give Love benefit performance of short plays last night, Quinto expressed his thoughts on Nimoy’s announcement.
“There’s not even a script and Leonard just announced his retirement,” said Quinto. “He’s not going to do another movie.
“Frankly, Leonard has got a mind of his own and he’s going to do what he wants regardless of what other people tell him. I’m just glad that he’s my friend.”

Zachary Quinto is a bit bummed that Leonard Nimoy won’t be on board for Star Trek XII.
The last time Nimoy appeared in a Star Trek movie, it took a personal appeal from J.J. Abrams to coax him out of retirement, but Quinto thinks it would take more than that to get Nimoy for the sequel.
“I think I might have to ask him this time,” joked Quinto.
Although Nimoy won’t be on board, Quinto is eager to begin work on Star Trek XII. “Every time J.J. calls, I pick up in a heartbeat,” he said. “I assure you that. And when it’s to tell me to come to work, I’ll be there.”
