Thank you Leonard Nimoy for inspiring me to look up, and to look forward. As a kid, we would play Star Trek and I had the honor of being Mr. Spock, because I had the best neck-pinch Smile

I can't speak for others, but you are a big reason I still play this silly little game.
Prosper.

Leonard Nimoy attained something that I suppose every actor wants, but few ever get, which was an "everybody always remembers", as in everybody who sees it always remembers it. Sometimes a role can define an actor's career to the point that it becomes a problem for the actor afterwards, and maybe the whole cast of classic Trek had that problem to some extent. It was a problem born of success, since they had created a piece of American popular culture. But even for people who were never Star Trek fans, everybody always remembers Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock.
