First Published: October 18, 2011 5:10 PM EDT Credit: Getty Images LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Zachary Quinto attends the Margin Call premiere at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema in NY City on October 17, 2011 Zachary Quinto came forward over the weekend finally confirming to the world that he is gay, but does the Star Trek and Margin Call star think other closeted Hollywood actors should follow suit? I just felt like it was my time. It was a week of declarations for me. Im declaring that Im gay. Im declaring that I want to be a serious contributor to the dialogues that are happening in the world right now, and the way that I can do that is creatively, the 34-year-old told Access Hollywood at the Margin Call premiere, a film he also produced. Im releasing this movie that Im enormously proud of, and its a time of real celebration for me, he continued. The actor/producer wasnt the only one in the public eye feeling celebratory. ABC News anchor Dan Kloeffler was inspired by Zacharys admission and come out on Monday during a live broadcast. But does Zach think other Hollywood stars should also throw open that closet door? Other actors are not my concern, and thats their life and thats their journey. Everybody has to get to a point in their own time and their own way, he told Access. The thing that Im most proud of in this whole situation is exactly how I did this. It was on my terms, in my own words, and Im really grateful for that.
