When
Leonard Nimoy took the role of Spock in the "Star Trek"
tv pilot, the three weeks' work was the longest acting job he'd
had in seventeen years. His character, a Vulcan, was originally
intended to be a Martian and was included only because producer
Gene Roddenberry thought it would "be nice to have an alien
on the Enterprise." The network didn't agree, suggesting
Spock be axed after the first pilot was screened. |
