He used to be everywhere for a while (Heroes TV series, Star Trek Trilogy Margin Call, The Slap miniseries, and Agent 47). He was good in all of them, even the terrible Agent 47. what happened to his career?
share15 minutes of fame ran out. Also you can catch him in his many roles in American Horror Story.
Signed, million man.
He's been the same supporting actor he's always been.
You want to talk about actors who disappeared? Let's discuss Jason Lee, Sean William Scott, Loren Dean, Owen and Luke Wilson, and James McAvoy.
They all got old and were replaced by younger actors. There you go. Same happens to women all the time.
Jason Lee - 54 years. Can't play Frat Boy anymore
Sean William Scott - 47 years
Loren Dean - 54 years
Well Sean William Scott still gets more work than Quinto. Jason Lee’s carrier died out after My Name Is Earl and the Chipmunks movies, but he was never a lead actor. Loren Dean was never A list or anywhere close he had supporting roles in quality films. His one lead role was a huge bomb (Mumford) with audiences and critics. I would say 9 out of 10 people would not even be familiar with him.

shareMaybe bad agent. Luck of hustle. You can't just sit and wait for good role. You have to hustle and go to every audition. But some of them are too picky and lazy. So when no one called to invite to big project - they just sit and wait.
And I think they stopped making him lead actor for straight roles once he came out. So they don't know what to do with him now. And just stopped asking him in big projects. He still does small stuff.
That's why many actors don't come out or didn't. Because then offers for lead roles of straight lovers stop coming. His career was going up. And then it stalled.
I will agree with you that once he came out he seemed to stop getting big roles. In fact his latest mainstream roles I saw him in he was playing a gay character. Fine in he watts those parts but it seemed all other roles he was in stopped. He is not even getting any work in American Horror Story.
shareThis is why it was so wrong from woke Hollywood to push all that: "Only gay actors can play gay roles". Because automatically they created: "Only straight actors can play straight roles". Even if they didn't say it out loud.
But it's hard not to notice that many actors that came out - started getting offers to play mostly gay characters. And straight roles stopped coming. It's like every time I see Quinto somewhere its' gay role. And before he came out he had all those lead roles of straight dudes.
Glee actor Chris Colfer vanished after his show ended. It's like they didn't know what to offer him.
His lisp got more pronounced imo. And that's a big detriment to actors.
shareHe still has a very active career. TV, movies, theater, voice work and producing. He's is very good in everything he does. I've seen him in everything you listed except Agent 47.
