Title: lenard nimoy to retire from acting

| “I want to get off the stage. Also, I don’t think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto,” he says, referring to the actor who portrayed a youthful Spock in last summer’s smash Star Trek relaunch. “He’s a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it’s time to give him some space. And I’m very flattered the character will continue.” In other words, don’t expect to see Nimoy in the next Trek sequel, scheduled for 2012. And don’t expect to see him anywhere else, either. Having just shot what will be his final appearance as enigmatic genius Dr. William Bell in TV’s Fringe, he says he’s retiring from acting altogether. |
he also might stop going to conventions too
| QUOTE |
| Also in question? How many more science-fiction conventions he has in his future. He’ll be at this weekend’s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo which “could be the last go-round for that too,” he says, noting he only has a few more public appearances planned. Not that he doesn’t enjoy them. He describes each one as “a love fest. I’m so grateful to the fans. I call these kind of experiences a victory lap ... It’s like having a family meeting — a family reunion.” |
and he's going to visit vulcan, alberta, canada
| QUOTE |
| If Leonard Nimoy is going to be in Calgary, it only seems logical that he pays a visit to Vulcan too. “I couldn’t resist,” he says with a very un-Spock-like laugh. “I thought, ‘Since I’m coming to Calgary, why not Vulcan?’ ” Thus the Southern Alberta community of about 1,900 will get its long-awaited chance to host Nimoy on Friday, ahead of his scheduled appearance at this weekend’s Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo. |

it said in the story that before
the new trek he had not acted in 12 years.
i had heard years ago that he would only
do stuff that could be done in a day or 2.
like that priceline commercial & the one for
the pain pill (aleave?) that ran during the
superbowl several years back

he could barley read his lines anyway over those giant dentures. Everyone has to hang up their hat at some point.

Yeah it probably drains you after so long and at his age.... the scheduling demands are probably pretty rough..... and at that age, I'd think I did more then my part for the whole thing.

Maybe he just finally got fed up with waiting for the transporter to be invented and can't be bothered anymore.... with the internet, cell phones, hyposprays, etc. he would have thought the transporter would have been one of the first things people looked into and now he's protesting.
If people want to see him, they can go to him now :lol:

I can't wait for the transporter either

But you might end up with your head where your butt is and vise versa or something worse. Ya can't really tell what's going to happen with all those atoms and molecules being zapped all over the place :lol:

Naw, we only have to worry about power outages in the middle of transport, dispersing our atoms across existence and time..... and hackers making us materialize with tattoo ads on our bodies of various porn sites and viagra. :magstar: - Get it off... Get it off... I can't go see grandma looking like this!

:lol: ooh the hackers sound interesting.
