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.

What people are saying
He was very nervous when he came to the door
I couldn't see what was going on inside and I'm kind of looking around.
It was more difficult to do a one-line or a two- or three-line role than to do pages of dialogue
I don't play monsters, I play men besieged by fate and out for revenge
