Leonard Nimoy has filmed his final appearance on Fringe, and plans to make an appearance at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo, followed by a trip to the small town of Vulcan (which has taken the coincidental name of their town to make it a Star Trek tourist stop) and then plans on hanging up his actors hat.
Those could be the very last public appearances for Mr Nimoy as an actor as he plans to now retire from acting.
79-year-old Leonard Nimoy has just finished shooting his final appearance as Dr. William Bell on the TV show Fringe, and he feels that it’s time to go out on a high note. This almost certainly means he will not be making an appearance in J.J. Abrams’ upcoming Star Trek sequel either.
I think this is an appropriate time for Nimoy to step away. Its not like he will be hurting for the money, and his iconic character has passed the torch to his younger self. His story in the Star Trek world is done as he hovers off into the sunset, and his appearance on Fringe, while very interesting is not going to kill the show when his part is done.
Nimoy has earned the rest, and I don’t think anyone would fault him for stepping away from the camera after this long and deserving career.
glad you you made it back you made it back from star date 3080 , vulcan Alberta realy immensely enjoyed and will not forget the THRILL from the colony of the klingons thanks for the visit from vulcan.
“In Search Of” was a great show and if my memory serves correct, it came on after “Cousteau’s Amazon Series” down here.
That was real Television!
can’t believe im first to say
“LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.”
first lol
Well thats kinda lame.
I wanted him to show up on one of my current favorite shows the big bang theory to fulfill Sheldon’s dream of meeting Nimoy. Guest that want happen now.
Also; “I am Spock” is a great autobiography.
Well played, sir.
Does this rule out directing as well? He’s directed a number of films outside of Star Trek III and IV.
I am not disappointed at all, I think Mr. Nimoy has given us some many enjoyable things he has earned a well deserved rest.
I know he is best known for his Star Trek fame but I was a ardent fan of “In Search Of” where he hosted 146 episodes, is that correct? Mr. Nimoy has had a long career.
I wish him well.
I was a little disappointed that this was announced before the end of this season of Fringe. Bit of a spoiler no?
I dont see how it is a spoiler. Nimoy has only had a few brief appearances as Bell.
Even if they needed to use the character again, it wouldnt be much for Nimoy to make a guest appearance, even in retirement.
Job well done Leonard! Now is the time for relaxin in the sun!
