Leonard Nimoy joins Star Trek Online

Quite exciting news for Star Trek Online,
Leonard Nimoy has signed on to do voice-overs for the character "Spock" in several key portions of the game. His younger counter-part will still be played by Zachary Quinto (young Spock from the new Star Trek Movie).

When asked about his association with the new MMO, Nimoy said, "I'm happy to be involved with Star Trek Online. In this game, the essence of Star Trek -- exploration and adventure -- lives long and prospers. I'm pleased that a whole new generation of fans will be able to discover new frontiers in the Star Trek universe." Atari president and CEO Jim Wilson adds, "Mr. Nimoy's participation in Star Trek Online brings the game to a whole new level. When Star Trek fans hear his voice they will know that Star Trek Online truly is part of the Star Trek universe."
