has
revealed

not
be
reprising

According

Sun,
after
recently
wrapping
his
role
on
“Fringe".
“I
want
to
get
off
the
stage.
Also,
I
don"t
think
it
would
be
fair
to
Zachary
Quinto," the
New
York
Post
quoted
Nimoy
as
saying
of
his
successor
in
the
role
of
the
USS
Enterprise"s
Vulcan
first
officer.
“He"s
a
terrific
actor,
he
looks
the
part,
and
it"s
time
to
give
him
some
space.
And
I"m
very
flattered
the
character
will
continue,"
he
added.
Nimoy
added
that
his
retirement
also
means
he"ll
be
curtailing
his
public
appearances
at
conventions
and
fan
events.
