‘Brilliant Minds’ Star Zachary Quinto On Working With Susan Bay Nimoy To Tell Episode 8’s Story Of Aging With Vitality


Zachary Quinto spoke with Deadline about Episode 8 of the NBC medical drama and working with Susan Bay Nimoy

In the episode, Nimoy plays Dr. Wolf’s latest patient, an older woman named June, who is experiencing a bout of hyper sexuality that her sons find disturbing. Wolf works to figure out the medical reason for her impulsive and somewhat reckless sexual decision-making, while also helping June retain her zest for life in her later years and convincing her sons that her desires are not only normal, they should be celebrated. But with Oliver Wolf, I think we can focus it more on the psychological impact that his upbringing had on his developing sexual identity, and say that the beliefs that were instilled in him, primarily by his mother, made him feel somehow fractured from an integrated, easy, comfortable life as a gay man.
