Description
Actor Leonard Nimoy talked to News 8 in 1971 about his starring role in The Old Globe Theater’s production of “The Man in the Glass Booth.” The plot was inspired by the kidnap and trial of the German Nazi SS-Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) Adolf Eichmann, who was one of the major organizers of the Holocaust. Nimoy played Arthur Goldman, a Jewish Nazi death camp survivor who ends up being accused of being a Nazi himself. The play centers around his trial. It questions if these war trials were necessary. And it made Nimoy question the real-life trials. Who are the right guys in war?
His enthusiasm for this role is evident. After the serious subject matter News 8’s reporter then asked him about his pointy ears and Nimoy burst into laughter. After all, you can’t interview Leonard Nimoy and not talk about his iconic character Mr. Spock.
Nimoy said he was very proud of “Star Trek” and the role he played in it. After “Star Trek” he was on “Mission Impossible” for two years, seasons four and five.
