'''Leonard Nimoy''' (born [[March 26]], [[1931]]) is an American actor and director. He provided the voice of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'',
and a quarter-century later returned to the fold to give [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] his sonorous tones in the third of Mr Bay's live action Transformers sagas (sagae?). Oh, and apparently he also played [[Spock|an alien]] on [[Star Trek|some old sci-fi show]], alongside fellow ''Transformers'' voice actor [[George Takei]], but no-one remembers that anymore. Mr N also did two seasons of ''Mission: Impossible'', and somehow managed to avoid being in an episode with Shatner.

==Roles==
===''The Transformers: The Movie''===

===''Transformers: Dark of the Moon''===
* [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]]

==Notes==
* Nimoy is married to Susan Bay who is first cousin to director [[Michael Bay]], and apparently it was due to their considerable donations to [[Griffith Observatory]] that Michael was allowed to film parts of ''[[Transformers (2007)|Transformers]]'' there.<ref>According to Michael Bay on the ''Transformers'' DVD commentary.</ref>
* Nimoy guest-starred in several episodes of ''Fringe'', which was created, executive-produced and written by [[Alex Kurtzman]] and [[Roberto Orci]].
* According to Orci, he was at one point considered for the role of [[The Fallen]] in ''[[Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]''.<ref>[http://www.donmurphy.net/board/showpost.php?p=1335851&postcount=1 Roberto Orci - Leonard Nimoy, Frank Welker in the running for the role of voicing...] post on the Don Murphy Message Board</ref> Nimoy himself was waiting to be in ''Transformers'' once more since his role in [[The Transformers: The Movie|the '86 movie]]. This is what happens when you don't ask the people you're hiring if they actually ''want'' to be in the movie.
* That alien he played (over a span of 45 years)? It was the inspiration for [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]].<ref>[http://rustingcarcass.yuku.com/topic/954/t/Bob-Budiansky.html Rusting Carcass interview] with [[Bob Budiansky]]</ref>
