I wonder why he called him a jackass.

@senorelroboto2 it was a comedy bit we did as a liner for my site. Do a search on YouTube for "Leonard Nimoy" and "Jackass" to see what I'm referring to.

Its so awesome that you got to interview Leonard Nimoy!! I'm excited to hear him speak in DOTM. Did you guys do this interview on a cruise ship with a lot of waves or something??

[THEBIGFANBOY]

@raginroninreview no, my camerawoman didn't have a tripod or time to set one up, so she's down on one knee trying to hold the camera steady.

Very laid back interview! Props to Mark for not being an over-excited twerp. Very classy!

[THEBIGFANBOY]

@GundamFan89 thanks! I've met Leonard a few times, he's always a cool cat. Sometimes the person being interviewed can make the interview easy, just by being themselves. Regardless, I appreciate the kind words.

Leonard was excellent as Sentinel Prime in Dark of the Moon..his vocal performance was one of the best things about the film..he spoke very word of dialogue with a great sense of power..one of my favorite lines he spoke in the film was " On Cybertron, we were Gods, and here, they call us Machines!"..I really enjoy his voice work.

[instantist]

I'm a spock fan but I am also a Leonard fan also! He's really a nice guy

[talltom1973]

I remember he played the voice of Galvetron in the 1984 animated movie. He did a pretty good job in that one. The movie tanked though. lol

[beatboxer961]
