Leonard Nimoy in Fringe S02E04 'Momentum Deferred'
78 year old Leonard Nimoy, who is most well known for his role as Spock in Star Trek, plays William Bell in Fringe, the founder of a mysterious corporation called Massive Dynamic.
At the end of Fringe season one we learned that Bell has an office in the still standing World Trade Center of an alternate reality but we don’t yet know if he’s a good guy or not.
“Time will tell,” Nimoy says.
Nimoy describes Bell as a “master of the universe” character who is “brilliant, wealthy and very powerful.”

Leonard Nimoy Mind Melds William Shatner at Dragon*Con 2009
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy attended Dragon*Con 2009 n Atlanta, GA. over the weekend and provided fans with a hilarious panel presentation during which a few interesting things emerged.
First, William Shatner hasn’t seen Star Trek. He’d like you to believe the reason is he’s simply been too busy.
Second, there are no plans, at least at this stage, for Leonard Nimoy to reprise his role as Spock in the sequel to J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek.
I could summarize the rest for you, but then I’d rob you of your chance to catch some very humorous moments of banter being exchanged between the two actors. Instead, grab a coffee, sit back and relax. You can watch the entire panel presentation after the jump.

On Friday Paramount will be re-releasing J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek in almost 100 IMAX locations.
Under normal circumstances a film will run for four weeks in an IMAX theater. Star Trek’s original run was cut short due to an IMAX commitment to play Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian instead. Since then Star Trek has had to wait while Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince completed their IMAX runs.
The re-release will only run for two weeks, so take the opportunity to see it on the big screen while you can.

On November 17 Amazon are releasing an exclusive Limited Edition (5000 only) Star Trek Blu-ray set that include an 8.5 inch replica solid metal USS Enterprise.
Star Trek fans will want to move fast on this collectible as it’s high quality and because it’s available for pre-order now I have no doubt it won’t be available for long.

But those aren’t the only scores he worked on throughout the year. He also composed the scores to three short films, the television shows Lost and Fringe and more.
So how does he find the time to manage such an overwhelming, deadline driven workload? Like many other film and television composers, Giacchino spreads the love.
