Leonard Nimoy, Spock on 'Star Trek,' Dies at 83
Nimoy's career spanned TV, feature films, art and photography, but he was perhaps best known for playing Spock, the logical Vulcan on the starship the USS Enterprise, in "Star Trek."
スタートレックのミスター・スポック役で有名な俳優のレナード・ニモイ氏が死去。83歳。
2010年に事実上引退していたが、その後も『フリンジ』や『イントゥ・ダークネス』にちょっとだけ出演したりしていた。
スポック役の役者と見られることに、若い頃は色々とあったようだけれど、スタートレックの文化的影響というのは色々大きかったのは事実だし、ニュースへの反応を見ていてもそれは分かる。
Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future.

NASA is mourning the passing today of actor Leonard Nimoy, most famous for his role as Star Trek's Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock. The sci-fi classic served as an inspiration for many at NASA over the years, and Nimoy joined other cast members at special NASA events and worked to promote NASA missions, as in this 2007 video he narrated before the launch of the Dawn mission to the asteroid belt. Nimoy also was there for the 1976 rollout of the shuttle Enterprise, named for the show's iconic spacecraft.
