From toplessrobot, Photographer, poet, songbird, Vulcan, TV salesman, Friend of Bigfoot. Leonard Nimoy is all of these things and more. Working steadily as an actor, director and writer since the early 1950s, Nimoy has proven himself to be a true Hollywood renaissance man over the years despite never truly being able to emerge from the shadow of Mr. Spock. His ambivalent feelings over this matter are discussed at length in his memoirs I Am Not Spock and I Am Spock, both of which should be required reading for nerds everywhere (Zachary Quinto may want to check them out as well). As you are doubtlessly aware, Mr. Nimoy recently emerged from a self-imposed break from the entertainment industry to take high-profile roles in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek and Fringe. In honor of Leonard Nimoy's welcome return to the public eye, let us pay tribute to his greatest achievements that didn't require the donning of rubber ears.

It's a crime against humanity that the Radar Men from the Moon serial wasn't included.
He was in that? Very cool. I caught an ep of RMftM on a dvd of a very early MST3K recently. I became instantly very interested. Mostly because of the bad guys' hilarious and beautiful car.
