Must-see video: Leonard Nimoy in Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song”

It was almost a week ago when Leonard Nimoy graced the Dallas Comic Con with his admirable presence. Just being in the same room with the guy is a thing of wonder, especially for me, since I grew up watching classic STAR TREK reruns over and over again. I’ve met Leonard a few times, and he’s always a cool cat, which you should be able to tell even watching our recent short interview. But today the man who played Mr. Spock just got even cooler starring in the new Bruno Mars music video “The Lazy Song”, which features Nimoy as himself having a BIG LEBOWSKI-esque day. Check it out below, and share it with friends – and be sure to tell us your thoughts in the comments.. You’ll soon hear Leonard’s voice in TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, but that and this represent the last bits of acting to come out of the seasoned thespian. He’s earned a break, and in a way I think this video is a fitting way to see the man do some dramatics one last time.
