I can’t help but think Spock help me through a difficult period of my life. I know Leonard Nimoy was at times irritated with the popular emphasis on this particular role which in the minds of the public overshadowed his other efforts. Yet this is the character I thank him for. I wonder if there was not something special about Mr. Nimoy that enabled him to bring life to this role and pull it off so well.
