Leonard Nimoy recorded a fundraising ad for public radio stations in 2009: "Hello, I'm Leonard Nimoy. Perhaps you remember me for my role on the original Mission Impossible. Or, maybe you know my work on another television program where I was known to use two distinctive hand gestures - one that encouraged a long and prosperous life, and the other rendered another life form unconscious. Naturally I prefer the first of those gestures. You can make a similar life affirming gesture by supporting the programming you enjoy on your Public Radio station. Please call or go online now, and hopefully we'll all live long and prosper. Thank you."

YouTube description: "Leonard Nimoy pitches the Magnavox Laserdisc player in LEONARD NIMOY DEMONSTRATES THE MAGNAVISION VIDEODISC PLAYER, a vintage demo produced by the manufacturer in 1981. At the time manufacturers were trying to position the format away from rival RCA, whose Selectavision disc players were poor in quality and unreliable. This is PART 1 of the disc itself, with Nimoy introducing the benefits of the Laservision process for interested consumers -- Parts 2 and 3 contain selling tips designed for Magnavision salespeople, showing clearly the disadvantages companies had to try and persuade a skeptical public only into things that could record.
