Zachary Quinto Goes Behind the Scenes of NBC’s Newest Medical Drama Brilliant Minds | First Look

-Excuse me, Dr. Wolf... where are you taking Harold? -Uh, just on a... little field trip. It's a very special occasion. -Alzheimer's patients don't leave my floor without authorization. -Sorry, Marcy! We'll be back soon! -Hey! ♪♪ -This is a character that's a little bit different from what people know me for, and I'm excited to expand people's ideas of the kinds of characters that I can play. -He took an Alzheimer's patient out of the hospital on a motorcycle. The family is threatening to sue. -It's inspired by a real-life person, Dr. Oliver Sacks, who was a renowned neurologist who dedicated his life to his patients. His world is darkening by the day, and those days are numbered. I choose to walk with him to find a path forward because nobody else will. -Alright. Thank you. -He suffers from prosopagnosia, which is face blindness, which is something that the real Oliver Sacks suffered from as well. -People say he can't recognize faces. I just think he's a dick. -The idea of a show that's specifically focused on mental health and neurological issues is really unique to me. There is this really interesting opportunity for a universal experience from an audience standpoint. -Went for a swim in the Hudson? -It's another coping mechanism. -Ah. Well, it's not the worst thing we'll smell today. -This is a show that is bringing to audiences experiences that they're going through, and doing it with optimism and compassion. -Apparently, he's a genius. -We might actually learn something for a change. -I feel deeply connected to telling stories right now that actually offer some sense of what brings us together, as opposed to what separates us. -You want to change how your patients see the world. -I want to change how the world sees my patients.
