My tribute to the late, great Leonard Nimoy.

February 27, 2015 – Today the phone at my house rang just as I was checking my e-mail.  As my oldest son, stationed in Alaska, starting talking I started reading an e-mail from my friend Steve Lensman which said….”Gutted to hear that Leonard Nimoy has died. A black day for sci-fi fans and Star Trek fans, like me”.  As I was digesting that information my son asked me if I heard anything he had just said.  I told him no…and then told him the news that Leonard Nimoy had passed away today.  That is how my son and I heard  this very sad news.

I grew up watching Star Trek rerun episodes.  The original Enterprise crew almost seems like family.  I was sad when James Doohan (Scotty) and DeForest Kelly (Bones McCoy) passed away….but I am heartbroken that we have lost Mr. Spock.

It has now been hours since I found about Leonard Nimoy’s passing…and I was checking out his movies in my database.  I figured it would be good way to give tribute to Mr. Nimoy by putting together a Top Ten Leonard Nimoy Movie table.  So here you go my tribute to one of my favorite actors ever…Mr. Leonard Nimoy.

Leonard Nimoy first started showing up in movies in 1951.  From his first appearance in 1951’s Queen For A Day to his last appearance in 2013’s Star Trek: Into Darkness he was a very busy man.   His IMDb page shows 134 acting credits, 12 directing credits, 4 writing credits and 3 producing credits
