Leonard Nimoy in Kid Monk Baroni: Star Trek’s Spock Gets His Big Break in Boxing Movie
By Chris “Man of Few Words” Benedict
When I was maybe five or six, Mom drove me to a department store 45 minutes away so that I could meet Leonard Nimoy. Mego was releasing its new line of Star Trek action figures and playsets and Spock himself was putting in a personal appearance at Two Guys (think the 1970s predecessor to Target) to promote them. Mom had a keen eye for advertisements of such events and made sure that I wouldn’t miss it. That’s just the way she was.
