I'll always remember his 60's song "My cup runniest over with Love". I still sing it now!
It wasn't him, it was Ed Ames, who played Mingo in the Daniel Boone TV show.
You don't KNOW that Mike wasn't referring to Nimoy. "During and following Star Trek, Nimoy also released five albums of musical vocal recordings on Dot Records." FIVE albums. ONE of them may have had that song on it, especially since "On his final three albums, he sings popular folk songs of the era and cover versions of popular songs." (Quotes from Wikipedia)
12/19. Disappointed, being the TOS geek that I am.

Was always fascinated by "In Search Of…", Nimoy's calm, analytical Spock-like demeanor when presenting spectacular phenomena suited the show well. I don't think it's a coincidence that Zachary Quinto is the host of the new reboot.
You got 8 out of 19 = BRUTAL!
Loved Leonard Nimoy, but didn't know this much about him. He'll always be Spock to me :)

OK, I blew a few, but not many. BTW, on #8 I'm surprised they didn't mention that Nimoy was in the repeat of the "I, Robot" episode on the reboot of TOL, this time as the lawyer instead of the reporter. The ep had a couple of really weak points, even considering it's 25 years down the road now, but it was still a must-watch. I have it saved on my amazon prime & also downloaded on my droid.
I remember him having a small role in the movie "Them!" Mr. Spock meets giant ants who could ask for more.
My cerebral flatulence has really gotten active.
17 of 19 not to bad.
Wow I missed nearly every single question, but it sure was interesting to read through all of that! What an interesting background! And such a long time performer. Actors in that day and age, so much paid their dues, in terms of taking any roles that would exercise their skills! No wonder we enjoyed them so much by the time they landed parts in our most favorite shows! And to think, at relatively such young ages. Being 35 yrs in that day, was almost like be 50 yrs in our day, in terms of what they had achieved so quickly.
Some I didn't know. Here's one that wasn't included: He played Golda Meir's husband in the movie "A Woman Called Golda." A great movie that I saw in global studies back in the 90's. They probably don't show it any more, though! Too bad . . .
9 isuck on this one
The Bilbo Baggins song video is on you tube it's hilarious
Z100%trudat!
17/19. Missed the Four Star Playhouse and Antioch University Austin. Quite frankly, I’m BAFFLED. Mr. Nimoy’s Dr. Barry Mayfield on Columbo’s “A Stitch In Crime” was one of his finest roles, should have made it into the quiz. LLAP.
