From the L.A. Times:
When Leonard Nimoy was approached about acting in a new TV series called “Star Trek,” he was, like any good Vulcan contemplating a risky mission in a chaotic universe, dispassionate.
“I really didn’t give it a lot of thought,” he later recalled. “The chance of this becoming anything meaningful was slim.”
By the time “Star Trek” finished its three-year run in 1969, Nimoy was a cultural touchstone — a living representative of the scientific method, a voice of pure reason in a time of social turmoil, the unflappable and impeccably logical Mr. Spock.
He was, as The Times described him in 2009, “the most iconic alien since Superman” – a quantum leap for a character actor who had appeared in plenty of shows but never worked a single job longer than two weeks.
Nimoy, who became so identified with his TV and film role that he titled his two memoirs — somewhat illogically — “I Am Not Spock” (1975) and “I Am Spock” (1995), died Friday at his home in Bel-Air. He was 83.

As a life-long Trekkie it goes without saying how much this breaks my heart to hear-although, on a positive side Mr. Leonard Nimoy was at least able to Live Long and Prosper on this side of the Universe-I pray that he continues to do the same on the “Other Side” as well, Rest In Prosperity dear “Spock”…
Co-sign, fellow Trekkie. *gives Vulcan salute*
I co-sign, too! 😦
That’s highly logical!!!
