Spock’s…Nose?

Okay so it turns out that silly things happen to the best of us…earlier in the week, The New York Observer website reported that Trek icon, Leonard Nimoy apparently fell (to which my wife burst out in laughter - her love of the pratfall notwithstanding) and injured his (of all things) nose while on the set of the new movie.The Observer went on to report that:

A group of set designers and grips were overheard discussing Mr. Nimoy’s fall.

“You know the sets are so dark and he’s an old guy,” said a makeup artist of the actor, who turns 77 on Wednesday, March 26. “He must have just tripped.”

“There was some talk about using a double and how they were making a wig for the double, so that the guy would look more like Leonard Nimoy,” said the original source. “But then they ended up using Leonard Nimoy.”

And just to ease everyone’s minds…the ears, are perfectly fine.
