He Was, and Will Always Be, Mr. Spock
Actor Leonard Nimoy, who embodied the half-Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock on board the Starship Enterprise, has died at the age of 83. According to Der Spiegel, few actors ever fused so completely with a single role as Nimoy did with Mr. Spock. He became an icon of science fiction, and as people mourn his loss, the pop culture realm will keep him alive in memory.Â
