Spock – Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy will always be remembered for his role as Spock in the Star Trek franchise, all the way from the pilot episode in late 1964 to his final film performance in 2013. He would go on to star in many film and theatre roles but nothing like his works as Spock. He was also an author (publishing two books), a director and a musician. Tragically in 2015, Nimoy passed away from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Pavel Chekov – Walter Koenig

Koenig was one of just two actors to audition for the role of Pavel Chekov, he was chosen almost immediately because of his resemblance to the British actor/musician Davy Jones of the Monkees. The creators hoped he would appeal to a younger audience, and that he did! Since then, his film, stage, and TV roles have now spanned over fifty years.
