5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Leonard Nimoy believed it was 鈥渂etter to be typecast than not to be cast at all鈥, says Jonathan Frakes, who played Commander Riker in Star Trek: the Next Generation. 鈥淎s he grew older and wiser,鈥 says Mr Frakes, 62, Nimoy 鈥渞ealised there are worse things to be associated with than to be Spock.鈥 He says much of Star Trek鈥檚 success was down to Nimoy, who has died at 83. 鈥淭he show is 50 years old next year. Our show is 30 years old, and the idea that we still do conventions, that we still have fans, is quite a gift and a blessing. We have Leonard to thank. He'll be truly missed.鈥 This clip is from Up All Night on Saturday 28 February 2015.
