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.

He was a real Hollywood renaissance man, dabbling in high art, low art, and everything in-between.
