The cast and crew of Star Trek Beyond paid tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy in a new video to promote a contest for a walk-on role in the new film.
The campaign launched in July and is another contest through the site Omaze, which has hosted other big film-related contests. Like those in the past, the Star Trek one is also raising funds for charities nominated by the film’s stars. Nimoy’s widow, Susan Nimoy, also nominated St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which gets the spotlight during the contest’s final week.
Actor Zachary Quinto, who plays Spock in the new Trek movies, stars in a new video released by Omaze and Paramount, paying tribute to Nimoy.
Nimoy died in February at the age of 83. He first played Spock in 1966 and played a major role in 2009’s Star Trek. He last played the character in a cameo in 2013’s Star Trek Into Darkness.
