Raised in a Boston tenement, acting in community theaters since
age eight, Leonard Nimoy didn't make his Hollywood
till age twenty, a bit part in Queen for a Day (1951) and
another as a ballplayer in the perennial Rhubarb (1951).
The minor role of Narab, a Martian finally friendly to earth in
the closing scene in the corny Republic serial
Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952), hardly foreshadowed
the role which, after two years in the Army and still more minor
parts, e.g., an uncredited telex operator in Them! (1954)
-- Spock, the half-human and half-Vulcan science officer of
"Star Trek" (1966) one of TV's all time most successful
series. The role won him three Emmy nominations and launched his
career as a writer and director, notably of
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), the story of a
humpback whale rescue which proved the most successful of the
Star Trek movies. Stage credits have included "Fiddler on the
Roof," "Oliver," "Camelot," and "Equus." He has hosted the
well-known TV series, "In Search of" and "Ancient Mysteries";
authored several volumes of poetry; and guest-starred on two
episodes of The Simpsons. He recently played Mustafa Mond in
NBC's telling of "Brave New World."
