TORONTO, April 21 (UPI) -- "Star Trek" icon Leonard Nimoy says he'll retire from acting at the age of 79 after a final appearance on the U.S. science-fiction series "Fringe" this season.
"I've been doing this professionally for 60 years," Nimoy told the Toronto Sun. "I love the idea of going out on a positive note. I've had a great, great time. ... I want to get off the stage. Also, I don't think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto. He's a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it's time to give him some space. And I'm very flattered the character will continue."
