For those that are not familiar with Leonard Nimoy‘s work, but know who he is, take the time to watch these television shows and movies. His talent was immense and what he could do was immeasurable.

There are sure to be many more Leonard Nimoy tributes and marathons coming over the coming days, next few weeks, and possibly throughout the year. His work will always be frozen in time and it will indeed live long and prosper.
