Leonard Nimoy
From MediaWiki
Leonard Nimoy (born March 26, 1931) is an American actor and director. He provided the voice of Galvatron in The Transformers: The Movie.
Oh, and apparently he also played an alien on some old sci-fi show, alongside fellow Transformers voice actor George Takei.
Roles
The Transformers: The Movie
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
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 there.[1]
- 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 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.[2] Nimoy himself was waiting to be in Transformers once more since his role in 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.[3]
- On March 31, 2011, Entertainment Weekly's website announced that Mr. Nimoy will be the voice for Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon! [4]
