The late, great Leonard Nimoy, who died earlier today at the age of 83, will always be Mr. Spock, second-in-command of the USS Enterprise under Captain James T. Kirk. For a long time, Nimoy was not okay with this. And then, over the years, he embraced the character that defined his career and inspired an entire generation of fans (many of whom became scientists, engineers, and astronauts). But Nimoy didn't just sit back and rest on his Vulcan laurels. When he wasn't wearing those pointy ears, Nimoy was acting, directing, writing, singing, and lending his likeness and distinctive voice to commercials and TV specials. He was a real Hollywood renaissance man, dabbling in high art, low art, and everything in-between.
Apparently this commercial has been around since May of this year. So I guess we'll call it a Flashback Friday. However, this Audi commercial with Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy in 'The Challenge' is the best commercial that we didn't see when it was put out. A little Spock vs. Spock action! Watch the video!
