Zachary Quinto is heading to another final frontier: Brooklyn. The Star Trek actor will guest star on HBO's Girls during season four, E! News has confirmed. Quinto was spotted filming with creator-star Lena Dunham in Brooklyn on Wednesday, June 18.

No other details about Quinto's role were revealed, but what we can tell from the picture is he'll be working alongside Dunham's Hannah Horvath while wearing an "Ask Me My Name" smock. The new season of Girls is set to debut in early 2015.

Quinto's other TV credits include American Horror Story, Heroes and 24. Other season-four Girls guest stars include Gillian Jacobs of Community fame and Parenthood star Jason Ritter.

Quinto shot to fame as the villainous Sylar on NBC's Heroes. The network is reviving the series for a miniseries titled Heroes Reborn and original star Jack Coleman is set to return with some other familiar faces likely popping up. No word if Quinto's Sylar will be one of them.
