I can't imagine there isn't a person anywhere in the universe that wasn't somehow affected by Mr. Spock.

Just the other night I saw him ,pre-Trek, in a cheesy bad guy character role on the ancient series Sea Hunt and he couldn't have been older than 28 ,with not an ounce of excess fat on him.
A few years ago I read his book I Am Spock which was a sort of sequel to I Am Not Spock and in the book he came to fully embrace the mixed bag that was Spock and the Star Trek legacy, even including a lot of great behind-the-scenes stories.

An interesting man, highly intelligent, an accomplished photographer, director, writer, and actor.Unforgettable.
Condolences to his family,friends,and colleagues.

Star Trek legend is right.
I grew up on Star Trek mythology.

Thank you, Leonard Nimoy.

A really great actor and director. Of course he is Spock first in my mind, but I've seen him in other things where he was very good too.

Thanks for your work sir. I have been and always shall be your fan.

RIP Leonard Nimoy

I don't suppose the Genesis Program will work this time.

RIP.
Live long and prosper.

Some of my most treasured childhood memories are of watching Star Trek with my father, who was a scientist and a big sci-fi fan.

Spock and Kirk, just before Kirk peels off El Cap during a free solo. Spock then performs a dynamic rescue.

Life is like a garden. There can be perfect moments but they can not be preserved except in memory.

Leonard Nimoy


I spent a couple of days with him in the studio (a long time ago.) It was interesting to see Mr. Spock smile. Fascinating.

Many of the people I met back then were aloof, with powerful egos. I got used to being treated like a lower class citizen. Mr. Nimoy was humble, casual and friendly, even with us studio geeks. He was genuinely interested in us and what we were doing. At the same time he had a powerful personality and charisma.

It's too bad it takes this bad news to refresh those fine memories.

Seemed like Spock would always be there. Nimoy created a lasting cultural icon, not always recognized by writers in the original TV series but coming to dominate the movies from Star Trek II onwards, and just as much in the reboots despite the new younger Kirk.

By all accounts a good man.

Nemoy was a great actor. He played an excellent bad guy in an episode of Columbo once. One of my favorites.
