Leonard Nimoy, the sonorous, gaunt-faced actor who won a worshipful global following as Mr. Spock, the resolutely logical human-alien first officer of the Starship Enterprise in the television and movie juggernaut “Star Trek,” died on Friday morning at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles. He was 83.
His wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, confirmed his death, saying the cause was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Leonard Nimoy has the distinction of having starred in two of the greatest television series ever. Let us recall that he went straight from Star Trek to Mission: Impossible, where he basically saved the show after the seemingly irreplaceable Martin Landau left.
Come to think of it, he was also the special guest bad guy in another of the greatest television series ever: Columbo. Here’s the whole episode. Skip ahead to the one hour mark and watch for three minutes to see one of my all-time favorite scenes.
He will be missed.
