Born on
March 26, 1931 and will probably die eventually. Sometime in between there, he did some other stuff.
At age eight, he landed his first part with the lead Hansel and Gretel (He looked so cute dressed up as Gretel!). and later got his "big break" playing Kid Monk Baroni, in the movie of the same name.
He guest starred on The Lieutenant, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Dragnet, Get Smart, and lots of other shows. Gene Roddenberry then said "Dude! I'm making a show! Wanna be in it?" (not verbatim) and Nimoy agreed, and played Mr. Spock in Star Trek, the first six Star Trek movies, Unification (TNG), and the eleventh movie Star TrekHe came up with the story for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
He directed Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, The Good Mother, Three Men and a Baby, Deadly Games, The Powers of Matthew Starr, and some other stuff.
Non-guest appearances include Brave New World, Trekkies, William Shatner's Star Trek Memories, The Pagemaster, Mission: Impossible (TV), Vincent, The Man in the Glass Booth, and a hell of a lot of other stuff.
He wrote I am Not Spock, I am Spock, You and I, We are All Children Searching for Love, and some other stuff.
As I wrote this, I discovered that IMDB is riddled with errors.
