Leonard Nimoy DVD -- In Search Of -- 1977-1982 TV Series [Chromecast] x264 MP4

In Search of ... is a television series that was broadcast weekly from 1977 to 1982, devoted to mysterious phenomena. It was created after the success of three one-hour TV documentaries produced by creator Alan Landsburg: "In Search of Ancient Astronauts" in 1973 (based on the book Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken), "In Search of Ancient Mysteries" and "The Outer Space Connection", both in 1975 (later adapted into popular paperbacks written by Landsburg). All three featured narration by Rod Serling, who was the initial choice to host the spin-off show. After Serling's death, Leonard Nimoy was selected to be the host.

IMDB: Leonard Nimoy hosted this quasi-documentary television show which portrayed unusual natural phenomena and "investigated" the paranormal. Its style of interspersing talking heads with sensationalistic video segments may have been the forerunner of "info-tainment". Written by Tad Dibbern

Leonard Simon Nimoy, born to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants - began his long career in acting at the age of 8, by appearing in various plays at the local community theatre in his hometown of Boston, MA. He continued to appear in amateur productions until the age of 18, while also attending Boston University on a dramatic scholarship. When he decided to pursue acting more seriously, he dropped out of school and moved to California hoping to find more opportunities. Only one year after arriving there, he was cast in his first leading role in the film Kid Monk Baroni.

After two years in the military he was still appearing in various bit parts, in films, and on television - one of which would eventually lead him to pop-culture immortality. His big break came when Gene Roddenberry spotted Leonard in an episode of The Lieutenant (also created by Roddenberry) - Gene offered him a leading role in a new science fiction series he was creating. A role that he though was a perfect fit - Mr. Spock, a half-Vulcan/half-human science officer. Leonard accepted, not knowing that he would eventually make television history.

When Star Trek was cancelled in 1969, Leonard went on to appear in many noted roles in film and television. His first autobiography, I Am Not Spock, published in 1977, said that as the Vulcan he found the best of both worlds, gaining public approval while still being able to play an other-worldly character. He published another, I Am Spock, in 1995. “To this day, I sense Vulcan speech patterns, Vulcan social attitudes and even Vulcan patterns of logic and emotional suppression in my behavior,” Nimoy noted. It was not a complaint. “Given the choice, if I had to be someone else, I would be Spock.”
