Leonard Simon Nimoy was born in Boston, Massachusetts in the West End, he is an American actor, film director, poet, singer and photographer. Nimoy is best known for his role of Spock in the original Star Trek series.
Nimoy and Star Trek co-star William Shatner first worked together on an episode of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
As the half-Vulcan, half-human Spock, Nimoy became a star, and the press predicted that he would "have his choice of movies or television series."He formed a long-standing friendship with Shatner, who portrayed his commanding officer, saying of their relationship, "We were like brothers." Spock's Vulcan salute became a recognized symbol of the show and was identified with him. Nimoy created the sign himself from his childhood memories of the way kohanim (Jewish priests) held their hand when giving blessings. During an interview, he translated the Priestly Blessing which accompanied the sign and described it during a public lecture.
In 2003, he announced his retirement from acting to concentrate on photography, but subsequently appeared in several television commercials with William Shatner.
Nimoy revealed that he became an alcoholic while working on Star Trek and ended up in rehab.
Nimoy still has the last pair of Spock's ears he wore on the series, as a memento. He has said that the character of Spock, which he played twelve to fourteen hours a day, five days a week, influenced his personality in private life. Each weekend during the original run of the series, he would be in character throughout Saturday and into Sunday, behaving more like Spock than himself: more logical, more rational, more thoughtful, less emotional and finding a calm in every situation. It was only on Sunday in the early afternoon that Spock's influence on his behavior would fade off and he would feel more himself again – only to start the cycle over Monday morning.
Nimoy is a private pilot and has owned his own airplane.
