Leonard Nimoy to Cameo on 'The Big Bang Theory' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

CBS’ The Big Bang Theory is at long last beaming up Leonard Nimoy.

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that the Star Trek icon will fulfill Sheldon’s (Jim Parsons) lifelong dream when he makes a cameo in the show’s March 29 episode. But there’s a catch: Nimoy will be heard, not seen.

According to an insider, Nimoy will speak to Sheldon, as Spock, in a dream sequence.

Sheldon’s obsession with Nimoy has been a recurring theme on the show. In a classic Season 2 episode, Penny gave him a napkin autographed by the sci-fi legend for Christmas. And in the show’s 100th episode last month, Sheldon received in the mail a life-size cardboard cut-out of Mr. Spock, but was horrified to discover it wasn’t the Nimoy version he ordered but the Zachary Quinto incarnation.

The hit comedy’s producers have made several overtures to Nimoy over the years, referring to him as their “dream” guest star. Nimoy, however, has largely retired from on-camera acting, though he has found workarounds, be it voicing an animated William Bell on Fringe or popping up in a pre-taped Emmys bit or Bruno Mars music video.

Spock Has Arrived! Check out Leonard Nimoy on "The Big Bang Theory"

Get ready "Star Trek" fans: Spock is here!

Leonard Nimoy, who originated the role of eminently logical Vulcan Spock in the Star Trek franchise, will make his way to "The Big Bang Theory" in the March 29 episode.

His appearance will make Sheldon's dreams — and probably those of Jim Parsons, based on the photo of the duo on set — come true.

Sadly, Sheldon will only hear Spock in his dreams and not get to meet him in person.

OMG, I was just watching an episode tonight where Penny gave Sheldon a napkin signed by Leonard Nimoy so this is awesome news! I've only seen "Big Bang Theory" in syndication, but I was ROFL while watching it so I can't wait to watch them on DVD and get caught up!
