Illogically, Mr. Spock Is Dead: Leonard Nimoy, Who Lived Long and Prospered, Passes Away at 83

Share

Was he the favorite Star Trek character? I dare say yes. Leonard Nimoy, who started playing Mr. Spock in 1967, and was a world wide icon, has died at 83. A great actor and director, Nimoy was also an artist and a philanthropist. He will be mourned by millions, including me, but he will live long and prosper forever in reruns and in videos.

Willisam Shatner: “I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love.”
