Well I guess that puts to rest the whole, "Does anyone know where Chris Bachalo is? when was the last time he was at a con?" issue

You would have to contact a Witness attending the Expo, as CGC is not setting up a booth this year.

Fan Expo Canada is proud to welcome back

 

LEONARD NIMOY!

(the original Mr. Spock - Star Trek)

 

Appearing SATURDAY & SUNDAY ONLY!

 

Mr. Nimoy has had to purchase a rack to hang all the hats that he has worn through a storied career. For over five decades Leonard Nimoy has worked in the entertainment industry as a writer, producer, director, author, recording artist, but most recognized as an actor.

 

2009 has been a particularly good year for Mr. Nimoy, with the tremendous success of the latest Star Trek feature film; currently the biggest box office success of the year. Mr. Nimoy also recently joined the cast of the hit show "Fringe" - appearing in the recent season finale and set to be a major part of the show when it returns in Fall 2009.

 

Before landing the role of Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek series, Mr. Nimoy had feature roles in all the top television series of the period including: “Night Gallery”; “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”; “Get Smart”; “Combat!”; ”The Virginian”; “Man from U.N.C.L.E.”; “Outer Limits, The”; “The Lieutenant”; ”Dr. Kildare”; ”Gunsmoke; “Perry Mason”; “The Untouchables”; “The Twilight Zone”; “Wagon Train”; “Bonanza”; “Sea Hunt”; “Rawhide”; “Dragnet”; “Mission: Impossible”; and even “General Hospital”. Mr.Nimoy’s recent guest appearances are all in the comedy field showing he does not take himself too seriously with spots on “Futurama”; “Becker”; “Duckman”; “Muppets Tonight!” and “The Simpsons”.

 

Leonard Nimoy has also lent his distinctive voice to many series and films such as: Art of Darkness: A Night Gallery Retrospective, Mind Meld: Secrets Behind the Voyage of a Lifetime, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, “Invasion America” TV Series, The Pagemaster, and Transformers: The Movie. He also produced and narrated the investigative television series, “In Search Of…”

 

He has Directed over a dozen feature films and television series including: Holy Matrimony, Funny About Love, Body Wars, The Good Mother, and blockbusters; Three Men and a Baby, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.

 

As a writer Leonard Nimoy has written three Trek films; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and the television series “In Search of…” along with many books including: Shekhina, Lifetime of Love: Poems on the Passages of Life; I Am Spock, Primortals, Come Be With Me, I Am Not Spock, Vincent, These Words Are For You, Warmed By Love, We Are All Children Searching for Love; and You and I.

 

As a recording artist he has made over half a dozen record albums with titles such as; Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy; Visit To A Sad Planet; The Way I Feel; The Touch of Leonard Nimoy; The New World of Leonard Nimoy; Mr. Spock’s Music From Outer Space; Leonard Nimoy Space Odyssey and self titled, Leonard Nimoy.
