Leonard Simon Nimoy is an American actor, film director, poet, musician, and photographer. Nimoy’s most famous role is the half-Vulcan, half-human Spock from “Star Trek”, the original series. He earned three Emmy nominations for playing this character. Nimoy went on to reprise Spock’s character in a voice-over role in “Star Trek: The Animated Series”, in two episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”, and in six “Star Trek” motion pictures featuring the original cast.

Nimoy also has a memorable character part as a mad scientist-type new age psychologist in Philip Kaufman’s remake of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. It was during this time that Nimoy won acclaim for a series of stage roles as well, including “Fiddler On The Roof”, “The King And I”, and “My Fair Lady”. After directing a few television show episodes, Nimoy broke into film directing in 1984 with the successful third installment of the Star Trek film series, “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock”. Nimoy would go on to direct “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home” and “Three Men and a Baby”. Nimoy is the author of “I Am Not Spock”, “I Am Spock”, and “A Lifetime of Love: Poems on the Passages of Life”.
