Who plays Spock? Actors, who became famous for the famous space epic

The fantastic saga, which began in the mid-70's, won the hearts of millions of viewers around the world. Despite the fact that the "Star Trek" has existed for half a century, it is still a cultic multi-series cycle. The history of the epic is based on space adventures, where dozens of amazing creatures are born, born in different galaxies.

A bit about the actors of "Startrek"

Leonard Nimoy is an actor who plays Spock in the original part of the multi-part action. This is exactly the "Startrike", which went out from 1979 to 2002. Leonard Nimoy is one of the few actors who throughout the career played one character. It can only be compared with Hugh Jackman, who played the role of Logan in a series of fantastic films about mutants.

Thirty years later, the prequel of Star Trek was released, where Spock's role was played by no less famous actor Zachary Quinto, famous for such TV series as The American History of Horrors and Heroes.

Who is Spock?

Playing Spock, the actor has always noted that his hero is a real diplomat, a learned and computer genius who was born on the planet Vulcan. Thanks to the fact that Jean Roddenberry was recreated by the oldest saga , all the characters, including Spock, were endowed with special military qualities that allowed all Starfleet members to go on a long and dangerous space journey.
Brief theses that determine the hero:

• Spock is a half-breed, who was born in the family of a Vulcan and a man.
• Spock in "Star Trek" (actors Nimoy and Quinto) is a serviceman who for the whole period of his stay at the Starfleet reached the rank of ambassador and politician.
• Spock was not only the captain of the ship, but also the scientist. The potential that would help him achieve success in the science of Vulcan, was useful in the Starfleet. Even in his youth, the hero received a diploma of a computer specialist.

Unexpected facts

In his life, Spock is an actor who carefully conceals the problem of father and son. Because of the constant internal struggle from his noncharity, the hero deliberately enters the Starfleet despite the fact that his father was against it. In the universe of "Star Trek" Spock is registered as one of the most important, but complex in character characters. For this reason, the contract was signed with Leonard Nimoy, since no one else could have fully disclosed the role. Roddenberry loved Spock and wished that Leonard could convey to the audience that idea, politics and subculture that lived in the hero.

The hero himself represents perseverance and the desire to achieve the only goal - to become the first inhabitant of Vulcan, who could go on a space trip as part of the Starfleet. The conflict that arose between Spock and his father, arises precisely because of this goal. All because all true Vulcans are given completely to science and certainly do not go voluntarily to military service.

Characteristic features of the hero

Playing Spock actors noted his unusual appearance. Despite the fact that the hero was born in a marriage between a Vulcan and a human woman, he possessed pointed elven ears and extended eyebrows in the form of a "house". In this case, Vulcans are similar in nature to the human race: two arms and legs, five fingers on the limbs, a body shape and a structure like the Earthman.

Other features:

• Spock's actors have often been amazed at the ability that allowed the hero to survive after death. Spock was a spiritual person who had sufficient knowledge to convey his consciousness and soul to another character in the event of a body death.
• The hero so quickly climbed the career ladder, that during his life he was able to grow out of an ordinary employee in the lieutenant of a spacecraft, and then completely got the title of commander. At the end of his life Spock was able to become a real diplomat in every way to prevent conflicts between races and planets.
• Creating an image, Roddenberry saw the hero as a Martian. Instead of a thirst for science and deep knowledge, Spock could be rewarded with the ability to absorb energy, including electrical energy. Also, the hero was not to be born on Vulcan, but on Mars. If Roddenberry had gone this route, then probably the Vulcan would have been red.

Leonard Nimoy is Spock's only actor in Star Trek, which managed to film not only in all the original parts of the epic, but also in the series. It is impossible to describe the characteristics of a hero in one article. To really understand the nature, essence and life of Spock, you need to sit back, turn on the "Startruck" and enjoy the truly amazing and well-designed image of the Vulcan.
