Leonard Nimoy says he is retired from Spock, whom he last played in 1991. Nimoy is 71 - was anyone expecting Star Trek: Intergalactic Social Security?
- the Star Trek icon is "through with acting" after a 51-year career in film, TV and Mr. Spockdom.
....In lieu of on-camera gigs, Nimoy, who branched out into film directing in the 1980s (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Three Men and a Baby), is keeping busy behind the camera--the still camera.
"Photography fulfills my creative needs," Nimoy tells the AP.
Nimoy published a photo essay, Shekhina, in October.
