Leonard Nimoy Had a Brief Role Opposite Vincent Price in 1956
In 1956, Leonard Nimoy appeared in an episode of the TV series Matinee Theatre with actor Vincent Price.
Nimoy played a delivery man who arrives while Price’s character is preparing to harm his wife.
The role was brief, with Nimoy speaking fewer than five lines.
At the time, Nimoy was taking one-off acting jobs, years before he became known as Spock in Star Trek.
