Zachry Quinto is back on TV on Monday in a medical drama. But he’s not portraying any dour, by-the-rules doctor — he’s playing Dr. Oliver Sacks, the famed neurologist, path-breaking researcher and author once called the “poet laureate of medicine.

Executive produced by Greg Berlanti, the hospital drama is loosely based on the writings and research of neurologist Oliver Sacks.
