Leonard Nimoy

As we all know, one of the most notable actors passed away today, Leonard Nimoy. Nimoy was in plenty of amazing series, most remembered for his part as Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek. He was also a 'Head in a Jar' in the popular Futurama series. How do I remember him though? His narration in a strange video game/virtual pet...Seaman.

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.
