Ethan Peck, who is best known for playing the role of Heath Ledger in the TV series “10 Things I Hate About You”, will play a young Spock on CBS All Access’s “Star Trek: Discovery”.
“Through 52 years of television and film, a parallel universe and a mirror universe, Mr. Spock is the only member of the original bridge team that spans every century of Star Trek,” said Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman . “The great Leonard Nimoy, then the brilliant Zachary Quinto, brought unparalleled humanity to a character that was forever torn between logic and emotion. We searched for months for an actor who, like them, would explain himself to the role. An actor who, like them, would diligently embrace Spock’s greatest qualities, beyond the obvious logic: empathy, intuition, empathy, confusion and sincerity. Ethan Peck walked into the living room with all these qualities, aware of the terrifying burden he had on Leonard, Zack, and the fans, and ready to face the challenge in the afternoon. -protection and extension of Spock’s legacy. In that spirit, we are delighted to welcome the family. “
