He lived long and prospered. Leonard Nimoy died today at the age of 83. In his long acting career, he played other roles and played them very well—but let's face it: everyone remembers him as Mr. Spock, the enigmatic alien from the Star Trek franchise. It was a role he would return to again and again over five decades, from the original late-1960s series, to a string of films, to cameos in later spin-off series, to the recent "rebooted" Star Trek films.
