I&#8217;m not glad, I&#8217;m not sad. I feel like I\u2019ve had a great ride with the character. . . we started making <em>Star Trek <\/em>pilots in 1964. I&#8217;ve been involved in<em> Star Trek<\/em> for forty-four, forty-five years. It&#8217;s been a wonderful ride for me and it&#8217;s been great for my family. We got to do some very interesting work outside of <em>Star Trek <\/em>because of <em>Star Trek<\/em> and I&#8217;m very satisfied.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nimoy may not be doing much acting in the future either, preferring to be involved with his photography. When asked if his role of Dr. William Bell in<strong> J.J. Abrams&#8217;<\/strong> <em>Fringe<\/em> would be his last role, Nimoy said, &#8220;I certainly hope so. I&#8217;ve been doing it long enough, so I hope so. I&#8217;ve had a great, great run and I have no unfulfilled dreams or aspirations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This year will be Nimoy&#8217;s last for attending conventions too, he said earlier in the month. &#8220;I think this is the last year I will do this,&#8221; he said. \u201cIt&#8217;s exciting, but I think I\u2019ve done enough of it. I&#8217;m looking forward to concentrating on my personal life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nimoy, who has an appearance today in Vulcan, Canada, will be in attendance at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on April 24 and 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As he approaches his seventy-ninth birthday, Leonard Nimoy admitted that his Star Trek days are&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413,2421,2401],"tags":[2409],"class_list":["post-8673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","category-star-trek-tos","category-star-trek-xi","tag-nimoy"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-tos\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: TOS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8673"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8673\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8675,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8673\/revisions\/8675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
