Even when Nimoy threatened not to return to the role, and Star Trek&#8217;s creator Gene Roddenberry hatched plans to replace him with another Vulcan, Nimoy ultimately relented.<\/p>\n<p>On some deeper level, he understood better than anyone, that his destiny, and his connection to that role, was inescapable.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AGF5ROpjRAU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www-images.theonering.org\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Spock-Leonard-Nimoy.jpg\" alt=\"Spock-Leonard-Nimoy\" width=\"620\" height=\"420\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-97271 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Spock-Leonard-Nimoy.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Spock-Leonard-Nimoy-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Spock-Leonard-Nimoy-600x406.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonard Nimoy has died, aged 83.
