Is This Leonard Nimoy's Last Year On The Convention Circuit?
There's been quite a bit of Leonard Nimoy news that last few days, from his adventures to Vulcan to a stop in the Emerald City. Some of the news seems a little unexpected a down right sad. According to an interview in The News Tribune, Spock is talking of calling it quits on the convention circuit this year.
The success of the recent “Star Trek” movie has generated renewed interest in both Spock and Nimoy. ComiCon is just one of 10 such events he’ll be appearing at this year. However, Nimoy says, it’s time to boldly go where he hasn’t gone before.
“I think this is the last year I will do this. It’s exciting, but I think I’ve done enough of it. I’m looking forward to concentrating on my personal life.”
The actor says he’s looking for “undiscovered territory.”
“There will be ideas that pop up that will be irresistible.”
Apparenlty, Mr. Nimoy will appear at 10 other cons this year including the fabled Vegas Con in Dragon Con this summer. Be sure to get your autograph albums ready, this maybe your last chance to speak with Mr. Spock.
