Star Trek
Nimoy was best known for his portrayal of Spock, the half-human, half-Vulcan character he played on Star Trek from the first TV episode in 1966 to the film Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013. According to biographer Dennis Fischer, Spock was Nimoy's "most important role".{{rp|482}} Spock became an icon and one of the most popular alien characters ever featured on television. Viewers admired his composure and intellect and his ability to take on any task successfully. As a result, Nimoy's character "took the public by storm", nearly eclipsing the star of the series, William Shatner's Captain Kirk, adds Fischer.{{rp|482}} Nimoy was later credited for bringing "dignity and intelligence to one of the most revered characters in science fiction".Nimoy and Shatner, who portrayed his commanding officer, became close friends during the series' television run, and were "like brothers", according to Shatner.EPISODE, Science Fiction,weblink November 1, 2013, Pioneers of Television, PBS, January 18, 2011, 2, 1, "People: Leonard Nimoy". Star Trek was broadcast from 1966 to 1969. For his role as Spock, Nimoy was nominated three times for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, and has long remained the only Star Trek actor nominated for an Emmy.WEB, February 28, 2015, Leonard Nimoy Dies at Age 83: 7 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek's Spock,weblink November 16, 2020, E! Online, Among Spock's recognized and unique symbols Nimoy incorporated into the series is the Vulcan salute, which became identified with him in pop culture. Nimoy created the sign from his childhood memories of the way kohanim (Jewish priests) hold their hands when giving the Priestly Blessing. The accompanying spoken blessing is "Live long and prosper".BOOK, Pogrebin, Abigail, Abigail Pogrebin, Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish, Originally published 2005, 2007, Broadway Books, New York, 198, 978-0-7679-1613-4, 153581202, 2005042141, Stars of David: Prominent Jews Talk About Being Jewish, {{YouTube|id=G1d83XOORP0|title="Leonard Nimoy: The Origin of Spock's Greeting – Greater Talent Network"|link=no}}Nimoy conceived the "Vulcan nerve pinch", which he suggested as a replacement for the scripted knock out method of using the butt of his phaser. He wanted a more sophisticated way of rendering a person unconscious. Nimoy explained to the director that Spock had, per the story, attended the Vulcan Institute of Technology and had studied human anatomy. Spock possessed the ability to project a unique form of energy through his fingertips. Nimoy explained the idea of putting his hand on his neck and shoulder to Shatner, and they rehearsed it. Nimoy credits Shatner's acting during the "pinch" that sold the idea and made it work on screen.{{rp|482}}Nimoy reprised Spock in (Star Trek: The Animated Series) and two episodes of (Star Trek: The Next Generation). When the new series (Star Trek: Phase II) was planned in the late 1970s, Nimoy was to be in only two of eleven episodes, but when the series was elevated to a feature film, he agreed to reprise his role. The first six Star Trek movies feature the original cast including Nimoy, who also directed two of the films, (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) and (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). He played the elder Spock in the 2009 Star Trek reboot film and briefly in the 2013 sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, both directed by J. J. Abrams.After Star Trek

In 1971 he played the starring role of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof, which toured for eight weeks. Having performed in the Yiddish theater as a young man, he said the part was like a "homecoming" for him because his parents, like Tevye, also came from a shtetl in Russia and could relate to the play when they saw him in it.Isenberg, Barbara.

Star Trek writer Nicholas Meyer said that "the link between Spock and Holmes was obvious to everyone." Meyer gives a few examples, including a scene in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, in which Spock quotes directly from a Doyle book and credits Holmes as a forefather to the logic he was espousing. In addition, the connection was implied in Star Trek: The Next Generation, which paid homage to both Holmes and Spock.Sturgis, Amy H.

Nimoy authored two volumes of autobiography. The first is I Am Not Spock (1975) and was controversial, as many fans incorrectly assumed Nimoy was distancing himself from the Spock character. In the book, Nimoy conducts dialogues between himself and Spock. The contents of this first autobiography also touched on a self-proclaimed "identity crisis" that seemed to haunt Nimoy throughout his career. It also related to an apparent love and hate relationship with the character of Spock and the Star Trek franchise.{{blockquote|I went through a definite identity crisis. The question was whether to embrace Mr. Spock or to fight the onslaught of public interest. I realize now that I really had no choice in the matter. Spock and Star Trek were very much alive and there wasn't anything that I could do to change that.WEB,weblink Leonard Nimoy's Love/Hate Relationship with Mr. Spock, B., Jared, May 24, 2007, Trekdom – Star Trek Fanzine, Blog, November 1, 2013, }}In the second volume, I Am Spock (1995), Nimoy communicates that he finally realized his years of portraying the Spock character had led to a much greater identification between the fictional character and himself. Nimoy had much input into how Spock would act in certain situations, and conversely Nimoy's contemplation of how Spock acted gave him cause to think about things in a way he never would have, had he not portrayed the character. Nimoy maintained that in some meaningful sense he had merged with Spock while distancing between fact and fiction. In 2014, the audiobook version of I Am Spock, read by Nimoy, was published.Brilliance Audio, {{ISBN|978-1491575727}}He composed several volumes of poetry, some published along with a number of his photographs.

There was a novelization by Steve Perry.Music

The result was the signing of Nimoy to that label. Dot Records was a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures, and both Paramount and Desilu—the studio producing Star Trek—were acquired by Gulf+Western: first Paramount in 1966, and then Desilu in 1967. So after the merger of the two companies, Nimoy wound up working for Paramount both as an actor (from 1966 to 1971) and singer (from 1967 to 1970), doing two television series (Star Trek and (Mission: Impossible (1966 TV series)|Mission: Impossible)) and five albums. Nimoy later recorded a few spoken word albums and contributed narration to albums such as Whales Alive.Nimoy's voice appeared in sampled form on a song by the pop band Information Society in the late Eighties. The song, "What's on Your Mind (Pure Energy)" (released in 1988), reached No.{{nbsp}}3 on the US Pop charts, and No.{{nbsp}}1 on the Dance charts.Nimoy played the part of the chauffeur in the 1985 music video of The Bangles' cover version of "Going Down to Liverpool".
