Leonard Nimoy
Acclaimed Actor, Director & Photographer
Exclusive Representation by Greater Talent Network
Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of the intense, rational and emotionally suppressed Vulcan, Spock, on Star Trek has left an indelible imprint on popular culture. First airing in 1966, Nimoy's character would become an icon over the years as the popular television show branched off into syndication and later onto the big screen as a series of six feature films. Nimoy’s performance on Star Trek earned him three Emmy nominations.
Nimoy also became a successful movie director, responsible for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the most successful of the Star Trek films to date. Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek's creator, referred to Nimoy as "the conscience of Star Trek."
Nimoy's remarkable and diverse career knows no boundaries. Now on the 40th Anniversary of Star Trek, Nimoy talks about his role in the history of Star Trek, its origins and how a new genre for television and movies was created. A true Renaissance Man, Nimoy is a benefactor of the arts and sciences as well as an award-winning actor, director, poet and photographer. His lecture is about innovation, creativity and personal development.
AT A GLANCE: A native of Boston, Leonard Nimoy pursued his acting career after his feature film debut in 1951. He has directed numerous films outside of the Star Trek series, and three of his films have been ranked among the top box office successes of all time.
Aside from his credits as actor and director, Nimoy has recorded ten narrative albums and authored several volumes of poetry (two of which feature his photographs). In 1975, Nimoy published the autobiography, I Am Not Spock and followed 20 years later with the sequel, I Am Spock, which he refers to as "coming to terms" with his alter ego. Nimoy's performance of the audio version was nominated for a Grammy Award.
Nimoy's black and white art photography is represented in several galleries nationwide. He recently finished an appointment as artist-in-residence at the American Academy in Rome.
In 2003, Nimoy and his wife, Susan Bay-Nimoy, founded the Nimoy Family Foundation, a philanthropic organisation that provides funding for educations and arts programs. The foundation’s first grant program was the Nimoy Visual Artist Residencies, which funded organizations that supported contemporary visual artists, connecting contemporary visual artists working in communities who have a goal of mentoring and teaching others, especially young and aspiring artists.
The Nimoys are also major supporters of Symphony Space in New York, the MOCA Focus series of exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the renovation and expansion of the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. They are also known for their leadership and philanthropic generosity in the Jewish community.
