Last Saturday actor Zachary Quinto revealed at the Spike TV Video Game Awards that he would be voicing a role in the upcoming MMO Star Trek Online. Today the game's publisher Atari revealed the role that Quinto would be handling in the game and, sadly, it won't be as Spock, the character he played in the Star Trek movie revival this year.

Instead Quinto will be the voice of the Emergency Medical Hologram in the game (basically the role that actor Robert Picardo handled in the Star Trek: Voyager TV series). In the game, the EMH will serve to assist the player through the tutorial section of the game. Of course we suspect that even more Trek actors might be making appearances in the game. We will keep you posted as things develop.
