Nimoy on Big Bang Theory?

By Reggie's Take on March 1, 2012

The Big Bang Theory is beaming up Leonard Nimoy. The Star Trek icon will fulfill Sheldon’s lifelong dream when he makes a cameo on the show’s March 29 episode.

But there’s a catch: Nimoy will be heard, not seen. Nimoy will speak to Sheldon, as Spock, in a dream sequence. In a Season 2 episode, Penny gave him a napkin autographed by the legendary Nimoy for Christmas.

The show’s 100th episode last month, Sheldon received in the mail a life-size cardboard cut-out of Mr. Spock, but was horrified to discover it wasn’t the Nimoy version he ordered, but Zachary Quinto.

Leonard Nimoy, has for the most part retired from on-camera acting. The Big Bang producers have made several overtures to Nimoy over the years.
