Leonard Nimoy and TJ Hooker

He is on tonight. I have not seen this episode but curious to see if there are any references to "Star Trek".

We get TJ on FE channel on Direct TV. Actually I do not care for the show but have always been a Leonard Nimoy fan.

Loved him on "Mission Impossible".

In the MI episode where he is disguised as a Japanese Kabuki he did that in one take.

My DH gave my Leonard's autobiography, I Am Spock. If you love him this is a must read.

I never knew what a prodigious acting career he had, on film and on stage.

Another great book is the one by Shatner about Nimoy.

If you're a fan of inside jokes having to do with Star Trek, there were some great ones in the later seasons of Boston Legal when Shatner was on it. One episode especially when Shatner and James Spader went fishing together.

I had the pleasure of seeing these two in person several years ago about a year before Leonard died. The admiration and rivalry were in full display between them. A class act with the upstart kid who really enjoy each other's company for a bit until they don't.

It's amazing how intelligent and thoughtful Leonard was on a variety of subjects. His famous Vulcan salute came from the high priests at the Jewish temple as a tribute to them. Fascinating man. I will have to check out his biography.
