Leonard Simon Nimoy ( born March 26, 1931) is an American actor, film director, poet, singer and photographer. Nimoy is best known for his role of Spock in the original ''Star Trek'' series (1966–1969), and in multiple film, television, and video game sequels. Nimoy began his career in his early twenties, teaching acting classes in Hollywood and making minor film and television appearances through the 1950s, as well as playing the title role in ''Kid Monk Baroni''. In 1953, he served in the United States Army. In 1965, he made his first appearance in the rejected ''Star Trek'' pilot, "The Cage", and would go on to play the character of Mr. Spock until 1969, followed by seven feature films and guest slots in various sequels. His character of Spock had a significant cultural impact and garnered Nimoy three Emmy Award nominations; ''TV Guide'' named Spock one of the 50 greatest TV characters. After the original ''Star Trek'' series, Nimoy starred in ''Mission: Impossible'' for two seasons, hosted the documentary series ''In Search of...'', and narrated ''Civilization IV'', as well as making several well-received stage appearances. More recently, he also had a recurring role in the science fiction series ''Fringe''. Nimoy's fame as Spock is such that both his autobiographies, ''I Am Not Spock'' (1975) and ''I Am Spock'' (1995), detail his existence as being shared between the character and himself.
