Our favorite Leonard Nimoy video clips
Actor Leonard Nimoy, best known for his pointy-eared portrayal of "Mr. Spock" in the original Star Trek franchise, died Friday at 83. Here's a collection of some of our favorite Nimoy moments. Let's start with the Spock salute. "Live long and prosper."
Spock tells James T. Kirk (played by William Shatner), "I have been and
always shall be your friend," in this death scene from the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
In 1984's Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Spock doesn't recognize Kirk at first but it comes back to him. The scene tugs at your heartstrings.
And then there's this gem from 1967. Nimoy sings The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins and people dance around in bright sweatshirts.
Nimoy made a guest appearance on the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory in 2012. He voiced Sheldon's toy Spock.
He also starred in Bruno Mars's 2011 music video for The Lazy Song. We wish we could look that cool grocery shopping in a tiger t-shirt and a bathrobe.
