When people think of Star Trek, some will think immediately of William Shatner as James T Kirk. However, I suspect most would agree they first think of Leonard Nimoy as the iconic green blooded half-breed Vulcan, Mr. Spock.
To this date Leonard has been on more Star Trek movies than any other actors from The Original Series, starring in 8 films to date. This speaks volumes of him as an actor and a beloved character by both directors and Trekkies alike.
Film and TV
In 1951 Nimoy started his acting career at the young age of 20 where he played a football jock named Chief on the film Queen for a Day which was based on the New York based radio program, Queen for Today.
Within the same year he played a baseball player in the film Rhubard, a film about feral cat that inherits a fortune and a professional league baseball team.
