Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)

Live Long And Prosper. Leonard Nimoy passed away a few days ago and to see the impact he had, all you need to do is to look at Twitter. Celebrities and the public from all ages, nationalities paying their respect. Best known for his role as Spock from the original Star Trek series. As a fan of Star Trek, I was saddened by the news.

Nimoy was Spock. Spock's ideals and beliefs was a major stronghold on the fans.Spock was a fan favourite and more importantly a Pop Culture Icon. A signifier of popular culture, Nimoy embraced his character with Gene Roddenbery, creator of Star Trek, crediting Nimoy with giving Spock depth and dimension in his character.

Nimoy is an icon for living, for peace, for exploration. Star Trek has impacted millions, inspired millions and still is loved today, even after 50 years. Nimoy directed one of my favourite comedies, Three Men and Baby, voiced in two of my favourite cartoon films, Pagemaster and Atlantis. (Two very underrated animations) Narrated one of my favourite games, Civilization. A man that has been a part of my childhood, teenhood and adulthood. Leonard Nimoy impacted millions and he may of passed away back his legacy will Live Long And Prosper.
