Growing Up With Spock: Adam Nimoy Reflects On The Life of Leonard Nimoy

TV and movie fans around the globe know about Leonard Nimoy, the actor, but few know about Leonard Nimoy, the parent. Adam Nimoy, son of the late Leonard Nimoy, delves into his difficult and tumultuous relationship with his famous father, as explored in his memoir "The Most Human: Reconciling with my Father, Leonard Nimoy." Adam talks about the duality of growing up admiring Leonard the actor versus his unhappiness with Leonard the dad, insight into who Leonard was when cameras weren't rolling, how the two reconciled and repaired their bond later in life, Nimoy's final days, Adam's battles with addiction and grief, and lessons learned through his journey. Plus, stories about the William Shatner and Nimoy feud, behind-the-scenes tales from Adam's time directing Star Trek TNG "Rascals" and "Timescape," the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins, and directing his father in an episode of "The Outer Limits."
