Zachary Quinto had to crop his famous eyebrows to play Mr. Spock in the new Star Trek movie.
The actor is famous for his bushy brows, but director J.J. Abrams insisted they had to go if he was to play the sci-fi Vulcan.
Quinto tells Playboy magazine, "I had to shave three quarters off each to play Spock."
And the actor admits he once sported a uni-brow: "I lost the unibrow in college when I was preparing to go into the acting marketplace.
"My eyebrows do require some attention... I don't know if they're my favourite feature, but they're certainly my defining characteristic."
Quinto shock to fame as Heroes' villain Sylar in 2006 and reamins the major villain in the series.
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie sees the franchise go back to the beginning as the crew of the Enterprise come together for the first time.
