Adam Nimoy to appear on "The Big Bang Theory"
"The Big Bang Theory" will receive a visit next month from Adam Nimoy, the son of late actor Leonard Nimoy, known for his role of Mr. Spock in "Star Trek."
In the episode, set to air Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS, recurring guest star Wil Wheaton will appear alongside Adam, an accomplished writer and director in real life, who asks Sheldon Cooper to be in a documentary about his father, Leonard. According to CBS, "While being interviewed, Sheldon struggles to suppress his emotions about his recent break-up with Amy, despite his overwhelming excitement for the sci-fi subject matter."
The episode is appropriately titled "The Spock Resonance."
Although Leonard never appeared on the CBS hit comedy, there have been references to his Spock character on the series. He died in February at the age of 83.
