Through his legendary portrayal Spock, he influenced countless scientists and artist, myself and the rest of the cast included," Quinto says, paying tribute to Nimoy. The video ends with Chris Pine, John Cho, Idris Elba, Simon Pegg and other cast members making the iconic "Live Long and Prosper" salute.
