No disrespect to Zachary Quinto, who is an amazing actor in his own right. But whenever I think of Spock, only Nimoy comes to mind.

Nimoy isn't Spock. Spock is Nimoy.

I remember reading that book. His first book was called "I am not Spock" and was talking about all the stuff that's Leonard Nimoy alone, but this one was about how he'd internalized a voice from his character who would have the Vulcan point of view.

One of the most interesting parts of the book was where Spock pointed out there's no need to fear death because it's non-existence, and you won't be there to care. Considering I read this when I was still in grade school, it was a pretty big revelation.

His narration for Civ 4 was charming and wonderful

He wasn’t always Spock to me.

I saw him in tv shows like “In Search Of…” and other movies like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I know I saw a Western with him in it, but can’t remember which one.

Yeah, Spock is his most famous role by far, and despite what anyone thinks of the new Trek movies, I really loved his part in them. (IMO Quinto does a great Spock. No, it’s not Nimoy, but it’s a really good performance.)

I have no idea what kind of person Nimoy was. He was always spock to me. The other actors I know better. What's a good docu that shows Nimoy as a person?

He will also be William Bell forever.

I had no idea that Mr. Nimoy was the son of Jewish Ukrainian immigrants.

He was also Galvatron in the Transformers movie.

I also think of space elves

We always do Mr. Vulcan.

Civ always makes me think of Nimoy. His voice-lines for Civ 4 echo in my head to this day.
