Thats a part of physicality.

Why do you think we like seeing films with them in?
I think that the entertainment industry and films in particular are great big canvasses for societys projection.
I think people are drawn to that which they cannot experience themselves.

Didnt Kevin Spacey lend his voice and his likeness to aCall Of Dutygame?

I think hes really great inSpy, thats the thing I saw him in most recently.
Its a great subversion of how people see him.
That was a smart move on his part.
Zachary Quinto, thank you very much.
