In "NOS4A2," a supernatural horror series debuting Sunday, June 2, the 42-year-old "Star Trek" actor is virtually unrecogniz- able under heavy prosthetics and makeup as shriveled, old Charlie Manx, an evil immortal who lures children into his antique car full of wrapped presents, feeds off their souls and deposits the re- mains at Christmasland, a twisted place of his imagination where it's Christmas every day and unhappi- ness is outlawed. Meanwhile, New Hampshire teen Vic McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings, "Miss Fisher's Mur- der Mysteries"), a product of an unhappy home life, is just dis- covering her supernatural ability to find lost things — including, presumably, the souls of Manx's young victims. "I had been looking for a proj- ect and a character that would give me the opportunity to really transform and into whom I could disappear," Quinto explained to a recent gathering of journalists in Pasadena, Calif. "So that was one of the aspects of this experi - ence that was really magnetizing for me. "I was a little resistant to be honest at first about the horror nature of the show and the kind of archetypal villain that I'd be playing. But as I read the scripts ... it seemed to me that there was a real depth and an emotional grounding in these characters, and an incredible collaborative spirit around the project itself. And so, those things — combined with this opportunity to really dive into who this immortal character was — made it really irresistible for me in the end." The opening scene gives a good idea what to expect. A late-night intruder rousts a couple and a young son from sleep. The boy runs from the house to find Manx parked out front in his gift-filled auto beckoning him to come with him. Mom, who was injected with an unknown drug, pursues until she slows and falls. And Charlie drives away with the boy, his li - cense plate reading 'NOS4A2.' "He manipulates and exploits the vulnerabilities of these chil- dren," Quinto says, "because he himself was abused and ne- glected and exploited in horrible ways as a child, which you learn through the book and through the companion graphic novel to 'NOS4A2' called 'The Wraith,' which really dives in-depth into Charlie Manx's backstory. And so, understanding the origins of trauma ... and how if it goes unexamined and unprocessed, it can lead to this kind of warped and twisted manipulation, is really interesting." Celebrity Scoop Celebrity Scoop Quinto convincing as an evil immortal in AMC's 'NOS4A2' Cover Story Cover Story By George Dickie As journalist Althea on AMC's "Fear the Walking Dead," Maggie Grace revels in playing an empowered woman with di- mension, authenticity and the willingness to take action if the situation dictates. But that action can come with a price as physically taxing scenes can take their toll. But luckily for the actress and her castmates, consider- ations are made. "Thank goodness it's an ensem- ble," Grace explains, "so when one of us carries an episode and works a 70-hour week or two, there's usually a much more chill episode to follow for that character. Our crew is at it nonstop, though. They are incred- ible. But yeah, the physical toll is more than we can laugh off, I sup- pose. Sometimes I'm black and blue from head to toe." In Season 5 of the zombie drama, which kicks off Sunday, June 2, the group's mission is clear — to locate survivors and try to make what's left of the world a better place. But that mission will be put to the ultimate Checking in with Maggie Grace test when they are forced to face the past and their fears, which in the end will leave them forever changed. As for what that means for Althea, Grace says, "Al's seen her mission — getting the story — as a way of help- ing, by preserving our humanity in an inhumane age, and leaving a road map to reboot history for those that come after. But now she sees a way to use the tapes to help people in a more immediate, direct way, linking them to a larger group. "This season," she continues, "we are forced to question how much we are able to help, how capable this group really is. We are trying to help others but can't necessarily heal ourselves. What's most exciting to me is Al encounters a connection to a wider world and potential future beyond what we know here."
