The last time Nimoy played the iconic character was in the 2013 Star Trek film, "Star Trek: Into Darkness." In the memorable scene, Nimoy advises Zachary Quinto's younger Spock on how to deal with treacherous villain Khan. Star Trek fans will recall that Khan, in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, killed Spock.
