ZACHARY QUINTO COMES ABOARD ‘PASSAGE TO MARS’
“Zachary was our very first choice to tell the PASSAGE TO MARS adventure, and we are truly delighted with the performance he delivered. His profound voice, his diction, his theatre experience, as well as his sense of nuances were perfect assets to express the expedition leader’s wide range of feelings, and to bring his ship log to life on the silver screen.”
