Zachary Quinto Revives Spock in Brilliant Minds Halloween Cameo

The NBC series uses a costume moment to nod to his Star Trek past, with the showrunner confirming a hidden audio cue.

Overview

  • Monday's Halloween episode features Quinto's Dr. Oliver Wolf dressed as Spock alongside Tamberla Perry's Dr. Carol Pierce as Uhura.
  • Showrunner Michael Grassi says the scene includes a Star Trek audio Easter egg, noting the elevator sounds different as a wink to fans.
  • The appearance is strictly an in-show costume within the Earth-set medical drama and does not signal a new Star Trek production.
  • It marks Quinto’s first on-screen return to the Vulcan look since 2016, as he continues to voice interest in a yet-unconfirmed fourth Kelvin-timeline film.
  • Grassi is also teasing upcoming twists through the series’ flashforwards, hinting at developments in the evolving Wolf–Charlie storyline without revealing details.
