Mark Lenord, who played Spocks father on "STAR TREK was actually the same age as Leanord Nimoy (Spock).

What is your source of this information? IMDb and Wikipedia both claim that Leonard Nimoy was born in 1931 which is correct but they give 1924 as the birth year for Mark Lenard.

my source is the commentary that Leanord Nimoy does on the DVD of "STAR TREK 4: THE VOYAGE HOME".

This will not count -- "close, but no cigar" -- but I wanted to point out that apparently Eleanor Audley was less than 1 year older than Eddie Albert when she played Oliver's mother on Green Acres. Thought that was interesting enough to bring up.
