After leaving Boston and a short stint in the Army, Leonard Nimoy pursued his passion of acting and appeared early in his career in such films as Queen for a Day, Rhubarb, Monk Baroni, Zombies of the Stratosphere, Them! and The Brain Eaters. He then made appearances in TV sitcoms such as Dragnet, Sea Hunt, Wagon Train and Bonanza. However it was in 1966 when Nimoy began his tenure for his Emmy Award-nominated portrayal of Spock, the half Human, half Vulcan first officer and science officer aboard the USS Enterprise in Star Trek. From the first TV episode in 1966 to the film Star Trek Into Darkness in 2013, Nimoy played one of the most revered characters in science fiction.
