Edit your post, osi!

He certainly did the most interesting character in Star Trek. I also enjoyed him in Mission:Impossible (the original TV-series from the '60s, not the Tom Cruise crap) and in the 1978 film The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

There was also this infamous song The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins (youtube).
I think that the song would fit right in the Middle Earth world - as Tolkien made it. There is a whole lot of song in the books, and a lot of humour in those songs.
The video is not a "music video" but from a performance in a TV show which the dancers belong to, so he can't really be blamed for the campy dance...

Quote

We are assembled here today to pay final respects to our honored dead. And yet it should be noted that in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most... human.

I also remember him as the narrator for the TV series In Search Of. And as himself in Futurama. He died at the age of 83 but I'm still shocked and having difficulty processing it. I grew up watching the original Star Trek but I was never inspired by Roddenberry's grand vision of the future and I don't consider myself a Trekkie. But Leonard Nimoy has been deeply ingrained in my culture my entire life and I find it difficult to accept that he's dead. He was supposed to live forever.

"Mr. Nimoy was born in Boston to Russian Jews; he speaks and reads Yiddish. He began acting at 8, but his big break came at 17, when he was cast as Ralphie in a Boston production of Clifford Odets’s “Awake and Sing.” In 1966, he landed a gig on a little television show called “Star Trek,” which ran for only three seasons but would resonate for decades. He spent two seasons on “Mission Impossible” and in 1971 went to U.C.L.A. to study photography. He didn’t graduate, but he has a master’s in education and an honorary doctorate from Antioch College. He hasn’t acted since 1990, choosing to devote himself to art collecting, voiceover work and various philanthropic endeavors, including an artists’ foundation he and his wife run."
