Leonard Nimoy, who died Friday at age 83 from lung disease, had a career that reached beyond his most famous role, as Mr. Spock on "Star Trek." Nimoy was credited for 134 roles over a 60-year career, according to IMDB; he also was a director, photographer and writer.
Nimoy directed episodes of "Night Gallery" and "T.J. Hooker" (the latter starring William Shatner) and several movies, including "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" and "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home." Nimoy also directed comedies, including the hit "3 Men and a Baby," "Funny About Love," starring Gene Wilder, and "Holy Matrimony," starring Patricia Arquette and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Outside film and television, Nimoy was an avid photographer who published three books, "The Full Body Project: Photographs By Leonard Nimoy," "Secret Selves" and "Shekhina." Richard Michelson, whose R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Massachusetts, feature Nimoy collections, said in a statement Friday: "The gifts Leonard has given to all of us — his acting, his photography, his poetry, his presence — will surely live long and prosper. In that spirit, let us continue to celebrate the life and achievements of this brilliant, kind and loving soul."
Nimoy published two autobiographies, "I Am Not Spock" (1975) and "I Am Spock" (1995).
Nimoy also was singer and released five albums, including "Mr. Spock's Music From Outer Space" and "The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy." You can listen to a playlist of Nimoy's music below.
