logical


Quick little reminder to all of you who may have slept for the last 40 years and missed anything to do with the science fiction thing. Leonard Nimoy was born this day in 1931.


Son of a barber he first started to get into film and TV around the end of the 50's. Bit parts in series and cheapo movies and the odd Twilight Zone was where he cut his teeth. Of note (I guess): Zombies of the Stratosphere was an installment in a movie serial that featured Nimoy as a martian. The stuff isn't very good. I mean really. The main character is some guy named Commander Cody. From there it goes downhill.


Oddly enough he appeared with William Shatner in 1964. They were in an episode of The Man from Uncle.
