NBC's new series Brilliant Minds is an inspiring new medical drama that puts a fresh spin on traditional medical procedurals, moving beyond entertainment to provide thought-provoking stories meant to challenge and inspire the audience. Based on the life of the famed author and physician Dr. Oliver Sacks, Zachary Quinto is Dr. Oliver Wolf, a brilliant neurologist whose focus on mental health is personal and professional.
"I want to change the way the world sees my patients," Dr. Wolf tells the hospital board. His focus is on not only helping his patients, but it's on making important changes in the way mental health and mental illness are perceived, even within the medical field. Mental health is not cut and dry, it's nuanced, and it's in that nuance that Quinto's Dr. Wolf thrives.
