Leonard Nimoy, best remembered for his role as Spock on "Star Trek," has died.

Leonard died today of end-stage COPD at age 83.

The son of Ukranian Jewish parents, Leonard Simon Nimoy had a long career as an actor since childhood; in addition to Spock, Leonard, among other career highlights, was a regular for 2 years on "Mission: Impossible" and also directed the hit 1987 Disney movie "Three Men and a Baby."

Here's to you, Leonard!!!

RIP....

Great actor. May he rest in peace.

Ed.

The third Star Trek film airs in movies theatres by sometime in 2016, even if Leonard Nimoy is already dead.

RIP :(

My mother was a huge fan of Leonard Nimoy, she saw him at an event once and he refused to sign an autograph for her. She remained a fan but I think that really hurt her.

May he RIP

Since Leonard Nimoy's death last week, Canadians have taken part in offering a rather unusual way to honour his life and legacy. It is a new trend called "Spocking", which consists of doodling Spock's famous facial features on a Canadian $5 bill, which features a portrait of former Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier. The Bank of Canada is not amused by this rather "illogical" tribute and is urging all Canadians to cease and desist with this practice at once, something which is obviously easier said than done.

Here is an example of what I mean:

A normal Canadian $5 bill

The same bill after being "Spocked"
