Leonard Nimoy Flashback Video: Iconic Actor Recalls Inspiration Behind His Controversial Book I Am Not Spock
Leonard Nimoy Flashback Video: Iconic Actor Recalls Inspiration Behind His Controversial Book I Am Not Spock – Legendary actor Leonard Nimoy passed away Friday at the age of 83, and while many are quick to remember him as the iconic Mr. Spock from Star Trek, there was once a time when Nimoy very clearly stated, “I am not Spock.”
In a throwback video from 1994, Nimoy discussed what he dubbed as his “controversial” memoir I Am Not Spock during an interview with E! News, recalling the backstory behind his book and explaining the young boy who inspired the whole thing.
Nimoy later followed with a second autobiography titled I Am Spock, and maybe he was, but he was also many other things—an artist, an actor, a dad, a husband, a grandfather and a great grandfather, who apparently loved to spoil his family.
