Speaking at the Television Critics Association this week in support of his Starz reality series The Chair, Quinto was cornered about the prospect of revisiting the role that made him famous.

“I’ve been in touch with Tim [Kring, creator] and he told me they were doing this and we left the door open for me to be involved, the trouble is really my availability,” Quinto said. “I don’t know that it would really even be possible. And it’s a challenge for me because that experience and role and opportunity really changed my life completely and sent me on a path that I might not have otherwise have been on, but at the same time I’m very interested in forward momentum, I’m very interested in expanding and defying people’s expectations of me.”

That last bit is actually more in keeping with the reasons he has said in the past that he isn’t particularly interested in returning to Sylar — which is what he explained.

“I don’t know that going back to such a definitely iconic character would necessarily do that,” Quinto continued. “So it’s a larger question that I haven’t had to answer because no one’s actually given me an offer. We’ll see. I’m glad they’re doing it and I know that whether or not I’m involved that the fans will enjoy it.”

Heroes Reborn is set for a 2015 midseason release.
