    In the 80's, there was a dance song with his voice from Star Trek dubbed in, where he would say "pure energy" from time to time. I need to find that song...

    I was sitting in my chair two nights ago and thought about him and wondered how he was. Sad, but time marches on.

    I met him once, got him to sign my copy of his phonograph album ("Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock’s Music From Outer Space.") I was in college (FIT) in Melbourne, Florida. He was in Orlando appearing on a panel game show special aired from Orlando. The president of the college arranged for him to come over to Melbourne and give a talk in our new Grissom Auditorium on campus. I have no idea what happened to the record. I think one of my various roommates stole it.

    He is also infamous for this little ditty: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGF5ROpjRAU

    He lived long, and he prospered. He lived a full life and will be missed by millions. Sadly, no one is immortal but Leonard Nimoy remained an actor for a long number of years. The legacy he left behind will endure even if he won't be there to see it.

    Second star to the right, and straight on till morning.

    ...I read the notice of him being taken to the hospital. This is sad news indeed.

    Very sad news. I loved Spock as a kid. When I grew older, I found out Mr. Nimoy was a very interesting person on his own. He will be missed.

    This is very sad news, as I was a great fan of Star Trek and Leonard Nimoy. Your quote sums up exactly how I feel.

    Kind regards.

    I'm working my way through 5 seasons of Fringe right now and was pleased to see him in it (although I never was a Trekkie). If he was 83 when he died, he must have been 78+ when he did Fringe. I can hardly believe he was that age!

    ...while for many he will always be remembered as Mr. Spock, Nimoy also starred in numerous other (non Star trek) related roles:

    --The character "Paris" in Mission Impossible from 1969 - 71 (incidentally Mark Lenard who played Sarek and Bill Shatner also appeared in a couple episodes as recurring characters). This was his longest running role outside of the Star Trek franchise which lasted a total of 49 episodes.
    --Get Smart as the character "Stryker".
    --The Man from Uncle (Vladeck)
    --Wagon Train (different characters)
    --Sea Hunt (different characters)
    --The 1978 remake of Body Snatchers as Dr. Kibner.
    --The 1983 Marco Polo Miniseries as Achmet
    --and of course as his own "self" in two episodes of the Simpsons.

    I loved him in Fringe, really he was great and yes i think he was 76 when he started the show. Impressive and he played the part so well!
