Sylar (aka Zachary Quinto) Speaks!
By Sam | December 7, 2006 (11:37 am) | More: Cast: Zachary Quinto (as Sylar)
Actor Zachary Quinto, who plays the villainous, brain-sucking Sylar on “Heroes”, finally comes out of the shadows to speak about his nefarious character. Here’s the most recent interview with Quinto, who was also in a season of “24″ before making the jump to “Heroes”. Some excerpts below:
About his character’s intentions:
“The sad part is, he’s initially well-intentioned. He wants to improve his life,” Quinto said. “He wants to make a difference. He wants to matter. Through the process of realizing how to do that, he gets blinded and loses himself in the pursuit of it and goes a little crazy– ‘a little’ being understatement.”
And of course, the question on every “Heroes” fans mind: just how exactly does Sylar suck out those powers?
“They haven’t told me,” Quinto said. “The impression I was operating under was he actually ingested them, but I don’t know. It’s the question I’m most often asked.”

I think it would be better if Peter can only copy the power of the person near him..
It’s not fair that he can still have claire’s power when she’s not around..
and it’s not fair for sylar if they have to fight.. I mean at least sylar have to kill first but for peter.. it much easier.. it’s not fair..

sylar will be back. yeah. hes the best villian. i think he escaped into the sewer while everyone’s attention was on the bomb. David anders is supose to play kane the vilian more powerful than sylar.
mil on 27 June 2007:
sylar totally slipped past claire and peter as my favorite charectors. peter I like 2nd and claire my 3rd favorite. i think the only one(s) to stop sylar is the new vilian or peter.
