AI Thread Summary
Leonard Nimoy's visit to the PLATO team did not meet expectations, as the encounter fell short of the anticipated connection with his iconic character, Spock. The article highlights the challenges of typecasting, suggesting that Nimoy is often seen more as Spock than as himself. This blending of fantasy and reality raises questions about the impact of iconic roles on actors' identities. The discussion reflects on the complexities of public perception and the limitations it imposes on actors. Ultimately, the meeting serves as a commentary on the struggle between an actor's persona and their true self.

I think they met Leonard Nimoy.
Spock is the character from Star Trek.
The writer can't seem to distinguish between fantasy and reality.
Oh, the bane of being type cast as an actor.
 
I think its worse that Spock has been typecast as Leonard Nimoy.

Fascinating but most illogical!

Every day we learn new things. Sometimes it's just a small fact or realization. No matter how trivial or random, let's start recording our daily lessons. Please start off with "Today I learned". Keep commentary to a minimum and just LIKE posts. I'll start! Today I learned that you clean up a white hat by spraying some cleaner with bleach on it (rinse before putting it back on your head!)
