Live Long and Prosper
Leonard Nimoy is an actor who has been in the mind of almost all the baby boomers for his role in Star Trek. I am not really a fan of Star Trek, but during the days when TV channels were scarce, we were forced to watch any shows that were on the screen. He was 83.
Leonard Simon Nimoy (/ˈniːmɔɪ/; March 26, 1931 – February 27, 2015) was an American actor, film director, poet, singer and photographer. He was known for his role as Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek series (1966–69), and in multiple film, television and video game sequels.[1]
Nimoy began his career in his early twenties, teaching acting classes in Hollywood and making minor film and television appearances through the 1950s, as well as playing the title role in Kid Monk Baroni. Foreshadowing his fame as a semi-alien, he played Narab, one of three Martian invaders in the 1952 movie serial Zombies of the Stratosphere.
In 1965, he made his first appearance in the rejected Star Trek pilot “The Cage“, and went on to play the character of Spock until 1969, followed by eight feature films and guest slots in the various spin-off series. The character has had a significant cultural impact and garnered Nimoy three Emmy Award nominations; TV Guide named Spock one of the 50 greatest TV characters.[3][4] After the original Star Trek series, Nimoy starred in Mission: Impossible for two seasons, hosted the documentary series In Search of…, narrated Civilization IV, and made several well-received stage appearances. He also had a recurring role in the science fiction series Fringe.
Nimoy’s fame as Spock was such that both of his autobiographies, I Am Not Spock(1975) and I Am Spock (1995), were written from the viewpoint of sharing his existence with the character.[5][6]

I remembered Leonard Nimoy more for his role in Fringe where he took on the role of William Bell. The man who was on the other side. In anyway – may he Rest In Peace
