Zachary Quinto as Dr. Oliver Wolf
Zachary Quinto delivers a nuanced and compelling performance as Dr. Oliver Thredson in the television series "American Horror Story: Asylum," which is likely what you're referring to, as there is no record of a TV show titled "Brilliant Minds" featuring a character named Oliver Wolf played by Quinto.

Quinto's Dr. Thredson is a character that viewers are simultaneously drawn to and repelled by, as his charming exterior masks a deeply disturbed and malevolent core. His interactions with the other characters, particularly his sessions with Evan Peters' character Kit Walker, showcase his talent for subtlety and depth. Quinto's performance is chilling and captivating, making Dr. Oliver Thredson one of the most memorable characters in the "American Horror Story" anthology and solidifying Quinto's reputation as a versatile and commanding actor.
