A peek into the past, shared by Nimoy’s son.
You must log in or register to comment.
Hurts to see him holding a cig knowing what did him in.
While he did die of COPD, he was also 83. A lot of people don’t get that long on this Earth.
Also, I think his alcoholism was a much bigger factor in problems he had in his life. He would have probably agreed.
Make his voice throaty and deep? Hell yeah it did.
As someone who worked hard to get a deep voice in order to follow his dream of doing VO work- cigarettes aren’t necessary. You just keep practicing. It’s like exercising any other muscle.
Dad: (confused) “You play a SPACE MAN?”
Leonard: sigh Yes.
Arguably THE space man, though.
Chief Scientist : I agree with those who say we could launch a pod.
Lyndon Johnson : A pot?
Chief Scientist : A POD - a, uh, capsule. Now, we would be in full control of zis pod. It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, splashing down into ze water, the ocean, vith a parachute to spare the life of the specimen inside.
Lyndon Johnson : Spaceman?
Chief Scientist : SPE-CI-MEN.
Lyndon Johnson : Well, what kind of spe-ci-men?
Chief Scientist : A tough one. Responsive to orders. I had in mind a jimp.
Lyndon Johnson : JIMP? Well what the HELL is a jimp?
Chief Scientist : A jimp. A-a-a jimpanzee, Senator. An ape.
“I’m sure it’s fun, sweety. You’ll land something better soon” - Nimoy’s mother
or “I don’t exactly understand it, but I’m happy for you. You deserve this.”
“We love you, son. But you look like Moe Howard with that haircut.”
“Why I oughta!”
Well done, son!
Or Patrick Troughton, as The Doctor.
I’m guessing his parents would have no idea who that was either.
Probably not, but it would be funny AF if his parents were Whovians, but just didn’t get Star Trek.
“See, this is good sci-fi son. We don’t know what you’re doing.”
Wait, are we still doing “mood”?
As a fellow kid, I assumed.
Ah, how do you do
