Leonard Nimoy (26 march 1931 - 27 february 2015) was an American actor best known for his role as Mr. Spock in the Star Trek saga from 1973 to 2014. But he has several Doylean links:<br />
<br />
In 1975, he played [[Sherlock Holmes]] in the educational short movie [[The Interior Motive]] with [[Burt Blackwell]] as [[Dr. Watson]]. In 1976, he also played [[Sherlock Holmes]] on stage in the play [[Sherlock Holmes (play 1976 with Leonard Nimoy)|Sherlock Holmes]] with [[Ronald Bishop]] as [[Dr. Watson]]. In 1978, he was the narrator of the documentary [[In Search of Sherlock Holmes (documentary 1978)|In Search of... Sherlock Holmes]] (S03E12). In 1998, Leonard Nimoy and [[John de Lancie]] (Q in Star Trek) dedicated one of their series of audio records called ''Alien Voices'' to [[The Lost World (play 1998)|The Lost World]], in which all the characters were played by Star Trek actors with Leonard Nimoy reading as Angus McArdle.<br />

''' Sherlockian link in Star Trek'''<br />
<br />
* Spock was born in 2230 from a human mother, Amanda Grayson, and a Vulcan father, Ambassador Sarek. In the movie ''Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'', he said: ''"An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however unlikely, must be the truth."'' The author of this quote is [[Sherlock Holmes]]. This reference has to be credited to [[Nicholas Meyer]], the writer of the film, which is also author of ''The Seven Percent Solution'' pastiche.<br />
