Fans come in all shapes, sizes, or professions. NBC news anchor Ann Curry got to admit she had one big crush on Spock and meet the actor (and his ears) who played him. In her blog she writes:

"After impulsively touching Leonard Nimoy's ears, I would not besurprised if he asked for a restraining order, restricting me to another galaxy.

But what a delight to meet a childhood crush, a talented, intelligent man, who was just as gracious in person as I had always imagined him to be." (more)

Leonard Nimoy stopped over in Germany to promote Star Trek III. In this interview (Video) he confesses that while making the film his biggest problem was sleeping. He was excited doing it, with lots of ideas bumping around in his head. Because they wanted to keep it a secret whether or not Spock would return, Mr. Nimoy was wearing a disguise especially when filming on location that his own team sometimes failed to recognize him in. His hobby, he says, are people. He loves to interact and work with people and he loves his work in general. He considers himself a very lucky person because in the morning he gets up to do what he loves to do most, unlike many others who have to work to pay the bills. If his children had chosen to become actors like him, he would have been supportive, but it's a business that offers little in the way of security and he's glad they followed a different path. The last question is about Spock falling in love.

Here Mr. Nimoy appears on a German game show, again to promote Star Trek III. (Video) He's asked about "I'm Not Spock" and explains that he wrote it to show how different his life is from that of the character, citing different work conditions, family life - he has children, Spock doesn't, he has to pay taxes, Spock doesn't. Do his children like Mr. Spock? Yes, Spock was good for his family, he says, helping him build an interesting career, too. Is the common factor intelligence, maybe, the host asks, because he does so many things that require intelligence like writing, directing and much more. No, he says, Spock is much more intelligent than he, he's a scientist. Spock is an extraordinary person that he respects and admires. Spock inspires people. His friends would even sacrifice their careers for him, stealing the Enterprise. Spock died in Star Trek II, what happens to him in Star Trek III ? For him, Mr. Nimoy explains, it's a story about personal loyalty, about people's feelings for each other, and what they're ready to do for the other. How many more films will the future have in store for us? He doesn't know how much longer they can play the roles, but he's sure Star Trek is going to stick around long after that. The host concludes with saying that he's been a fan of Mr. Spock for a long time and now considers himself a fan of Mr. Nimoy, too.
