Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock from ‘Star Trek,’ dead at 83 (http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/leonard-nimoy-spock-star-trek-dead-83)
02/27/15 12:24 PM—Updated 02/27/15 12:47 PM
By Adam Howard

Leonard Nimoy, the actor beloved by generations of “Star Trek” fans for his portrayal of the half-human, half-Vulcan Spock on the TV series “Star Trek” and its subsequent film spin-offs died Friday at age 83, the New York Times reported.

Nimoy was hospitalized just two days ago reportedly due to chest pains. He had announced last year that he was battling lung cancer. His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

In his last tweet, he wrote: “A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP.”

The last letters were an acronym for Spock’s signature catchphrase, “Live long and prosper.”

Nimoy’s death brought an outpouring of grief and love on social media from fans and former co-stars. Actor George Takei, who starred alongside Nimoy as Captain Sulu for years on “Star Trek,” told msnbc’s Kristen Welker, “ You know, the word ‘extraordinary’ is often overused, but I think it’s really appropriate for Leonard. He was an extraordinarily talented man, but also a very decent human being. His talent embraced directing as well as acting, and photography. He was a very sensitive man and we feel his passing very much. He’d been ill for a long, long time and we miss him very much.”

“Star Trek,” which debuted on NBC in 1966 was famous for tackling social issues under the guise of science fiction. Fans considered the logical and intellectual Spock character the show’s “conscience.”

“In Spock, I finally found the best of both worlds: to be widely accepted in public approval and yet be able to continue to play the insulated alien through the Vulcan character,” Nimoy once wrote.

However, despite a devoted cult following the show was canceled after just three seasons due to low ratings. Yet a steady and dedicated fan campaign brought the series to the big screen in 1979. Thirty-six years, twelve films and over a $1 billion at the box office later – the rest is history.

Although Nimoy enjoyed prolific career as both a director (“Three Men and a Baby”) and as a film actor (“Invasion of the Body Snatchers”), he will always be best known for this many appearances as Spock over six decades – a fact that he was not quite comfortable with at first.

In 1977 he infamously penned a memoir called “I Am Not Spock.” But in later years he embraced his legendary character and wrote a follow-up memoir entitled, “I Am Spock,” in 1995. Nimoy also directed two of the most popular installments of the big screen “Star Trek” franchise: “The Search for Spock” and “The Voyage Home.” And Nimoy was the only original cast member to appear in the J.J. Abrams reboot of the series, making cameo appearances in 2009’s “Star Trek” and 2012’s “Star Trek: Into Darkness.”

When those new films were released there was widespread pundit discussion about similarities between the cold, cerebral Spock character and President Barack Obama. The president himself was very aware of the comparison, which extended to each having pronounced ears.

In a 2011 interview with Barbara Walters, Obama said the biggest misconception about him is, “Me being detached, or Spock-like, or very analytical.”

Even if Obama doesn’t see himself that way, Takei says Nimoy did.

“He was one of the most thoughtful, analytical actors. He understood what the scene needed immediately and he was able to give guidance to us. And that is why he was such a gifted director as well. “

Condolences to all of the Trekkers/Trekkies (whatever the fuck they are called).

I never really watched Star Trek, but Nimoy was an icon no doubt.

A sad loss for those of us who really remember him as Spock.

To those so young that they only know him as a reference on "The Big Bang Theory"....check out his work. You will be impressed.

Star Trek just wouldn't have been as good without Leonard Nimoy. I watched Star Trek after school. Watched the motion pictures later on. Still enjoy catching an old Star Trek re-run now and then. Pretty much grew up watching Leornard Nimoy. There's only one person who can ever play Mr. Spock. Something special just ended. Thank's for all the good times rest in peace.

“He was one of the most thoughtful, analytical actors. He understood what the scene needed immediately and he was able to give guidance to us.

His acting skills were mediocre. Nimoy was a one-trick pony of an actor who knew his career was typecast. His philosophies were stolen, his fame spent pretty much being an asshole to his fans and even in the Abrhams films he did the same old standard. Hey, what's the chance they'll CGI resurrect him for the third installment?

Shame the dude bought a farm but he lived a full life - better than most Jews around his age.

I have seen all the original episodes as they aired as a kid.
Syndication, watched them 400X each as a teenager in the 1970s
Seen the movies; they are in my best of goto every guy needs stash from VHS to DVD.
I would move back home and watch it all again.

The CVH of Television Shows.

Greatness within in the 10 of thousands of shows that have aired since 1967.

I want to understand how "acting skills" can relate directly to enjoyment factors of the viewer.

Perhaps, a inability to dream relates to a persons inability to enjoy one thing over another's..... or the ability to dream creates that viewer as somewhat less than human.

"Logic, Logic...... is the beginning of Wisdom"

Great shows great actor perhaps a everyday joe...

Nimoy was a putz. He only spoke up for the true stars of that show - THE WRITERS - were horribly treated and paid decades after the fact. He was a selfish man charging well over a $100 for an autograph and would not attend Comic Con for under $50,000. He never gave a shit about his fans (or his writers).

Sure thing," The Kristy" you were there it was all about -that then- as now. reading so little into what you just read.

Reading about what other people said about -that then- relating -that then- as fact and using it as your, cross to bear.

Lots of people do it just like that, still .

It must have killed you to attend all those hundreds of fan shows, in all those lines at every show as everybody you are 5 million fans, all alone... attending book signings before you were born, only to have to pull out your wallet and pay as you did 10thousand years before.

I never did like all the time travel in Star Trek. If it was that easy then why not just go back and fix everything? Besides, everybody knows you can't change anything in the past because if you did then there would have been no reason for you to go back in time in the first place. Unless, as posited in the second BTTF, going back skews the time line and actually breaks it off from the reality you left. But if that's the case, no matter what you do in the past - you can't get back to the reality you left.

Well, I beg to differ that.. to, the fact that I consumed lots of -LDS- and Peyote in a ritualistic venue within my mind back in the 1970s' and thus I am experienced, if you don't know what Jimmy meant, then you do now.

If you travel back in -TIME- and change everything nothing changes into the future because you went back in time and changed things doesn't change the fact that you already exist in the future .

You can destroy invest bang certain hoes..do whatever you want YOU YOU have traveled back.... the past is dead and gone .

YOU can change whatever you want, you already exist, time has passed, it is linear and cyclical moves in pulses lines and short clicks...have fun it's -YOUR TIME- no on else's...DIG IT!!

He actually played a range of roles. I think someone in this thread just thinks of themselves as more clever than anybody else that has ever lived. But I have heard no original music from them....no songs....no poems...no art...no acting...not a drip of originality from a faucet that only spews ridicule (it is not "criticism" as defined by Oxfords). When something is ever produced by this person...will it be original? I highly doubt it. Be ready with your plagiarism pens people. The poster only posts on pages about famous people in order to try to make itself more famous...and sadly...sullies the memory of people that actually contributed something. Saddest type of Ego Problem. May they get the help they need.

Oh go shove a toothpick in your penis. Nimoy was a one-trick pony of an actor. End of fucking discussion. The role of Spock was more or less crafted by Roddenberry and the writers he hand picked to make such a clueless actor seem believable. And he never gave a shit about the role of Spock until he could make money off of it. Him and Shitner both held out and held up production on those shitty late 70's/early 80's reunion pictures; he bitched like a little girl when Paramont Studios would not let him direct also holding up production. He did not care for the whole "Trekkies" subculture until Next Gen became a hit; Nimoy was a cocksucker who did his best to distance himself away from the Spock persona as much as he could.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41%2B4zm65IaL.jpg

Except for maybe Shitner who must have hired himself a better agent, that entire cast of the original series Star Trek were typecast and knew it. None of them could find work and many of them cursed being on that fucking show in the first place. Star Trek only became a cult phenomenon out of late night tv watching stoners and future shitty sci-fi writers. So get the fuck out of this thread you cyberbullying cretin.

I really don't care about the behind the scenes or the home life of actors. All I care about is what they add into what I'm watching. The whole dynamic between Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, and Mr. Sock was great. I mean the actors chosen for those parts were perfect.

'Star Trek' fans told to stop 'Spocking' Canadian $5 bill (http://www.torontosun.com/2015/03/03/star-trek-fans-told-to-stop-spocking-5-bill)

Bank of Canada executives have urged Star Trek fans to stop a campaign to deface currency as a tribute to late actor Leonard Nimoy.

A drive was launched in the aftermath of Nimoy’s death on Friday to ink the features of his most famous character, Star Trek’s Mr. Spock, on five dollar bills showing a portrait of Canada’s seventh prime minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

Large numbers of the notes in circulation now show Laurier with Spock’s pointy ears, trademark haircut and eyebrows, a Star Trek badge and the character’s mantra “live long and prosper”.

Bank of Canada spokeswoman, Josianne Menard, has confirmed the stunt is not illegal, but she urges Spock fans to stop.

She says in a statement, “It is not illegal to write or make other markings on bank notes... However, there are important reasons why it should not be done. Writing on a bank note may interfere with the security features and reduces its lifespan. Markings on a note may also prevent it from being accepted in a transaction. Furthermore, the Bank of Canada feels that writing and markings on bank notes are inappropriate as they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride.”
