"Leonard Nimoy Tribute"

This is just a short tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy. This past month, we lost a fine actor, director, writer,singer, poet and humanitarian (among other titles).

           His biggest acting legacy will always be his iconic role as "Mr.Spock" in 3 seasons of Star Trek; 8 Star Trek movies (2 of which he directed!); and a 2-part episode of Star Trek, The Next Generation. Spock has also been immortalized in comic books, magazines, novels, toys, posters and so much more!

           Other notable roles in the Sci Fi / Fantasy / Adventure realm have included---"Mission Impossible"(TV); "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (Movie, 1978 version); and "Fringe" (TV). Leonard was the narrator of "In Search Of", during the 70's. His rich, unique voice made him ideal for the job.

           Leonard also proved he could direct a comedy with the 'hit' " 3 Men and a Baby" (1987), and drama with "The Good Mother" (1988).

          R.I.P. Leonard! Your presence will be missed and not forgotten!
