Leonard Nimoy Retires From Star Trek
DesScorp writes "Leonard Nimoy is hanging up his Vulcan ears for good and retiring from the role of Spock in the Star Trek franchise, reports the Daily Mail. Nimoy apparently wants to pass the torch: 'Nimoy, one of the most recognizable and best loved characters from the sci-fi series that began in 1966, announced that he wanted to "get off the stage" and give young actor Zachary Quinto a clear run at the role he took over for last year's Star Trek movie.' Nimoy, at age 79, appears to be retiring from acting, period. He has, in recent years, undertaken another career in photography, as well as other pursuits, but seems to be preparing to retire from the public eye altogether."
And I just spent my last mod point. Dammit.
I call it 'The Aristocrats'
Cool story bro
I may agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to face the consequences of saying it.
One of the pro/cons of direct election, in the context of an Australian republic, was that you'd end hand-picked appointments - such as Hollingworth. So if the public voted for say, Geoffrey Rush, then thus it would be the will of the people.
Anyway, Denny Crane has Alzheimer's. :-)
