Very sad to see this news. However, he had a long and productive life. It seems that he did not merely play a part -- he was synonymous with Spock -- that embodiment of Vulcan logic pitted against human emotion within an unforgettable character who presented us with a legacy of enviable and endearing traits and talents.

Seemed like a really nice guy. I always wonder if having one prominent role as an actor becomes a burden over the years or centuries in this case.

Live Long And Prosper. He played a fine archetype we may well remember forever, and was a fine man.
And unexpectedly kinky as a photographer:

His photo book, Shekhina, has an Amazon price that would make even Ellipse wince!

"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."

This has been cited many times today, and it ain't quite true.

Yup. The New York Times story about that one (I linked it earlier) was what led me there.
Damn it, he even thought like Spock!As for whether people will think he has a fetish, he said he can’t help that. “I just have no way of dealing with that,” he said with a laugh. “People will think what they’re going to think. I understand that.”
And what of his own attitude toward fat women?
“I do think they’re beautiful,” he said. “They’re full-bodied, full-blooded human beings.”
He doesn’t necessarily find them sexually attractive. “But I do think they’re beautiful.”
