leonard nimoy

Dr Spock will not only live long and prosper, he'll live forever in Canada. The country is paying tribute to Leonard Nimoy and his famous Star Trek character by 'Spocking' their five dollar bills.

The late, great Leonard Nimoy, who died earlier today at the age of 83, will always be Mr. Spock, second-in-command of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk. For a long time, Nimoy was not okay with this. And then, over the years, he embraced the character that defined his career and inspired an entire generation of fans (many of whom became scientists, engineers, and astronauts). But Nimoy didn't just sit back and rest on his Vulcan laurels. When he wasn't wearing those pointy ears, Nimoy was acting, directing, writing, singing, and lending his likeness and distinctive voice to commercials and TV specials. He was a real Hollywood renaissance man, dabbling in high art, low art, and everything in-between.

We have received word that Leonard Nimoy has passed away at age 83

As you probably know by now, I'm a "Trekker", big time. And today Leonard Nimoy, a.k.a "Spock" of "Star Trek" fame is 82 years old. Just last Friday, William Shatner turned 82, and if you know their background, both played characters who were best friends on "Star Trek", and the two are best friends in real life.
