Born on this Day in History: March 26, 1931 - After roles on the likes of "Dragnet" and "The Twilight Zone," Leonard Nimoy earned the attention of producer and writer Gene Roddenberry and was cast on "Star Trek" as Mr. Spock. "Star Trek" premiered in 1966 and turned Nimoy into a legitimate star. Nimoy has always stayed active as an actor, but his role as Spock from the show and the Star Trek movies appearing over the years dominates his reputation.
