Talented man....

This hurts. Yes, I'm a Trekkie. Not the kind that dresses up like an alien, speaks Klingon, or attends fan gatherings. I'm the closet kind who has watched every episode of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, and yes Enterprise, plus all of the movies literally dozens of time. Leonard Nimoy was Star Trek. He will be missed.

One of my favorites. An Iconic actor. RIP Leonard.

It's been said that Leonard Nimoy was the consciousness of Star Trek, the embodiment of what it stood for. This is a sad day for everyone, not only us ST fans because he did a lot more for the world than most people realize.

I was fortunate enough to work briefly on a movie that he directed, Holy Matrimony. It was very cool to stand there right next to Spock. His demeanor behind the camera was (I thought) strikingly similar to watching Mr. Spock.

Days like this remind me that there are "more days behind me, than ahead".

Live long, and prosper. Indeed.

It kinda puts 'finality' to all the upcoming movies. We hope for cameo appearances to kinda take us back but we're running out of actors/actresses. I guess there is CG or holograms but it just isn't the same.

Sad day.

So I guess this time he's really gone.

Never much of a fan of the whole Star Trek thing, but liked the guy. I've read that he was bitter that he was typecast, but later came to accept that he had been woven into the fabric of modern culture. Not a bad legacy.

He was great in a Columbo episode where he played a murderous surgeon but his role as Spock typecast him forever and probably made it difficult to get other great roles. Having said that, Spock is one of the most distinctive sci-fi characters ever created and Leonard Nimoy played a huge part in that. And, unintentionally, this role as an unemotional Vulcan turned him into a bit of a heartthrob at the time. He was also good in the remake of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
