This is Leonard Nimoy. Many may know him as Spock from the old Star Trek TV show or the old Star Trek movies (though he's made a few cameos in the JJ Abrams Star Treks). He passed away the other day at the age of 83. I was blessed to see him play Science Officer Spock in many episodes and movies as a kid. I remember watching the movies on video cassette tapes that my uncle had recorded from Showtime over and over again. As a young kid who had just immigrated to the states and was learning how to be just human much less American and most of the time feeling like a fish out of water, Mister Spock served as a wise sage as he also learned how to be human. As I would grew and continued to watch the Star Trek's over and over Mister Spock and I would grow in our humanity together, and through this I found comfort whenever I felt like the alien.
