    I'll always remember him as Armando from the third and fourth "Planet of the Apes" movies.

    At 60+, Mantalban was still built like a god with big slabs of muscle.

    OTH, the pudgier Shatner has built a wonderful successful career of fine roles since star trek.

    So it depends on how you are scoring.

    Not to mention (as noted in TFA) Leonard Nimoy himself confirming the same. If you can't believe Spock, then there is no truth ANYWHERE in the universe.
