Although Nimoy followed his 1966-69 "Star Trek" run with a no- table career as both an actor and director, in the public's mind he would always be Spock. His half- human, half-Vulcan character was Leonard Nimoy as Mr. Spock from a 1966 "Star Trek" photo from Paramount studios. the calm counterpoint to William Shatner's often-emotional Captain Kirk on one of TV and film's most revered cult series. Asked if his father chafed at his fans' close identification of him with his character, Adam Nimoy said, "Not in the least. He loved Spock." Leonard Nimoy displayed ambivalence to the role in the titles of his two autobiog- raphies, "I Am Not Spock" (1975) and "I Am Spock" (1995). Trekkies were particularly fond of Spock, often greeting one an- other with the Vulcan salute and the Vulcan motto, "Live Long and Pros- per," both of which Nimoy was cred- ited with bringing to the character. He pointed out, however, that the hand gesture was actually derived from one used by rabbis during Hebraic benedictions.
