On the whole, Zachary Quinto has played more likable characters than he’s played hardcore baddies — he notably portrayed logic-driven but good-natured Spock in the latest “Star Trek” films. But still, somehow, we remember him best for his deliciously evil roles. The man has a face for villainy (and we love that about him).

Which brings us to his latest role, the “135-year-old, immortal, vampire-esque” Charlie Manx on AMC’s new horror drama series “NOS4A2.”
When he was originally approached for the part of Manx, Quinto reveals he turned it down.
