Leonard Nimoy, a founding partner of Alien Voices®, is one of the most recognized and respected talents in show business. |
Born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 26, 1931, he performed on stage in
various amateur productions from the age of eight. In 1949, he set out for
Hollywood where he took acting classes, lived in a rooming house and worked
at odd jobs to support himself. His film debut came in 1951, when he
landed
a small part in "Queen for a Day." The roles which followed in obscure
films and serials were a valuable training ground. In 1952, he had his
first
film lead in "Kid Monk Baroni." After a two-year-stint in the Army, Nimoy
went back to work in feature films, television and theatre. |
