First the Spock Vulcan character ...Many know the Gene Roddenberry used to be LAPD...and he was a major fan of the famous chief Parker he worked with him
Parker personality was old school taciturn totally rational logical absolute personal integrity and to what some might think somewhat cold blooded white anglo-saxon Protestant Conservative Republican in the Thomas Dewey tradition.... while Roddenberry was a liberal he deeply admired Parkers strong headed rationality and personal integrity.....the whole Spock Vulcan character and philosophy start is based on Parker a Conservative and how a Liberal that admired him saw him...logical rational.great personal integrity but sometimes heartless cold blooded and a bit of a tight ass.
On Nimoy.. he was was not Spock.. and was wild sometimes....the rather famous movie from the seventies Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice is a based on a true story and Nimoy is the Ted character
Was surprised to learn that his writing and directing credits are few. He did direct “3 Men And A Baby.”
