Beam me into acting class in Tel Aviv, Scotty…
Method acting goes Vulcan as Shekhina-loving Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, 74 (can you believe it?), lands his thespian spacecraft in Israel to share acting tips with Israeli actors. The trip is happening thanks to the Federation in Los Angeles in collaboration with the Tel Aviv Cinematheque.
On June 19 he will hold a master class for acting-school students at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, followed by the screening of excerpts of his cinema and television work, and an explanation of what went into making his films.
[“In this film role, I was trying desperately to get away from being Spock….and in this film, I wanted people to see me as very different from Spock…and in this film, I wanted people to see me as the opposite of Spock…”]
“Share acting tips” link is not working
Here’s the latest in Spockitude…here’s the JPost article about Nimoy’s trip.
esther, you do know that Nimoy wrote a book called I Am Not Spock, and then, a few years later, wrote another book called I Am Spock? thought you might like to know about ’em…
Although I like Leonard Nimoy’s acting in Star Trek, I really beg to differ with his photos of naked women wearing tefileen. Naked women are beautiful. Wearing tefileen is good, whether (clothed) men or women wear them- I am not Orthodox.
However combining the two- naked women and tefileen is a dumb idea.
Furthermore personification of G-d is just not acceptable in my book, whether it is to talk about Shekinah as a female concept or refer to G-d as He.
um. i’m scared.
“In this film role, I was trying desperately to get away from being Spock….and in this film, I wanted people to see me as very different from Spock…and in this film, I wanted people to see me as the opposite of Spock…”
That kind of determination led Mr. Nimoy to seek other artistic means of expression. Like photography. And… this:
