Alan Rickman and Leonard Nimoy?

Yeah, it's hard to say. Allen is definitely Shatner, Shatner, Shatner, there's no doubt.
But Rickman was more of a mix of Nimoy and Stewart. Nimoy was never a Shakespearean actor; Stewart certainly was.
Either way, this movie is f'n brilliant.

Dr. Lazarus was a composite of Worf and Spock. Talking to Nimoy wouldn't do him much good, since the character is significantly different from Spock. Also, Alexander Dane is considerably dissimilar to Leonard Nimoy.

Dane was based off both Stewart and Nimoy's characters. Stewart was a Shakespearean actor and took the craft very seriously when he first took the role. But he relaxed and realized that you could both have fun and give your best professionally. In fact he considers his cast mates his befriends and credit ST for it. He was never bitter nor did his career suffer due to ST. In fact, his career benefitted from ST nor does he regret doing it. Nimoy otoh played such a stoic and reserved character that it carried over into his personal life, he carried Spock into his home which affected his relationship with his wife. And like Dane he regretted the role and was embarrassed by it initially because he was a serious actor and felt a SciFi (especially in the 60s) show was not something to be taken seriously. Of course he later came to embrace the role and his part in ST. And like Stewart, learned to take things in stride and not take life too seriously.

Right. One thing I thought they might like to chat about is the make-up. Like how Alexander Dane wore the scales on his head all night long. And what it's like playing the alien on the crew. And playing second banana to an egomaniacal bad actor.
Both Alan and Leonard were brainy, sensitive, and funny. Plus, they were both committed to progressive politics. I think they'd have had fun talking. Leonard Nimoy was a serious person and he DID want to act in roles way beyond Spock. It was a big frustration for him, even though he did embrace Spock eventually.
He wasn't a great actor, but he wanted to be. He was in Fiddler on the Roof and a biopic of Golda Meier.
I hope they did talk. I can see them getting along great. -

I looked at the title of this thread and thought it sucks and is strange how both these Star Trek actors are gone. Especially with Alan Rickman being too young to go.
