ZACHARY QUINTO: I knew from the very beginning. It was part of the conversation that I had with Ryan [Murphy] about me coming back for the second installment of the show, in the first place. It very much informed the character that I was building, from the beginning, as a result. I felt like my responsibility became to create a character that people could at least trust initially, and have some hope that he’s the one voice of reason and sanity within this chaotic world. It was actually more exciting for me to know, from the beginning, because it gave me more to play with and more to hold back and more secrets to keep.
