nagini-in-tenn:Mr. Nimoy as Caligula by Nagini-snake “I walked onstage in a performance of Caligula night after night, convinced that I was Leonard Nimoy giving a good performance as the mad emperor. “We are resolved to be logical.” That was one of my lines. And night after night I dreaded it. I dreaded the moment when that word would fall out of my mouth. “Logical"—that’s his word. Spock’s word, and everybody knows it. But I had to say it. I wanted to swallow it, mumble it, chew it up, rather than say it! Why? Because I knew that the moment those three syllables sounded through the theatre, he would be there! That alien would be there, demanding what was his! Identity.I struggled with it. Night after night. I approached it like a horse approaching a fence, not wanting to jump but knowing that I must. Searching for an escape, dreading the moment when I could hear or almost hear that laugh which would follow the utterance. That communal laugh of recognition which would say, "He’s here. Spock is here.” — Leonard Nimoy, I am not Spock -- source link
