Zachary Quinto and Conan remember Leonard Nimoy

In his role as young Spock in the new Star Trek movies, Zachary Quinto grew close to Leonard Nemoy, he told Conan O'Brien on Tuesday night's Conan. Quinto said that losing Nimoy was "really difficult, obviously," but that it has been good to remember Nimoy's "beautiful life" and multiple artistic gifts. Conan had his own Nimoy story, about "freaking out" when he met the actor in the studio for an episode of The Simpsons. We should all wish for such effusive remembrances. —Peter Weber
