Maybe he had better roles in the Westerns that he did, but Star Trek, say what you will gave him and his family a very comfortable life! And that is no small thing for an actor! RIP Leonard, You did lived long and Prospered!

Through all of the Star Trek iterations and different characters I'd have to say that Mr. Spock was the most iconic of the bunch.

Some actors are trapped in roles and I don't know if Nimoy ever felt that way but it sure did provide a lifetime of work for him.

Well, folks, for those that really want to get an insight on things, Mr. Leonard Nimoy also was an accomplished photographer. Believe he had his own studio and commissioned some interesting series'.

I will let you google some of his work. probably NSFW.

It will be eye opening to say the least.

An icon lost. Thanks for the childhood memories, Mr. Nimoy. This fellow Bostonian wishes you rest and peace.

Back in the late 60's I had an LP of Leonard Nimoy singing, some Broadway show tunes and what not. Not exactly Pavarotti but he wasn't bad. I think at the time he figured ST was a quick gig and he was trying to cash in on it.

Wish it hadn't been relegated to the same fate as all of those old comic books and toys that now bring cubic bucks on Fleabay.

The Voyage Home (1986). At the beginning of this film, Spock’s mother, who is human (his father is Vulcan), asks him whether he still believes that, by logic, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. He says yes. She replies, “Then you are here because of a mistake—your friends have given their future to save you.” (The crew had broken the law and had gone on the run in order to rescue Spock.) Spock says that humans are sometimes illogical; his mother answers, “They are, indeed!”

Later in the film, when crewman Chekov is in trouble, Spock insists that the crew save him, even at risk of jeopardizing the crew’s vital mission to save Earth and everyone on it. Kirk asks, “Is this the logical thing to do?” Spock answers, “No, but it is the human thing to do.” Although Spock reaffirms his claim that the needs of the many logically outweigh the needs of the few, he suggests that sometimes we must do the “human” thing, not the logical thing, and put the needs of the few (or the one) first.

The Objective Standard

The character of Spock was intriguing for it wrestled with what it meant to be human. Later the character Data also furthered that notion.

I hope his katra made it to Vulcan in a timely manner this time.
