Actor Leonard Nimoy -- known to generations as Star Trek's Mr. Spock -- died Friday. He was 83.
Nimoy's wife, Susan Bay Nimoy, said the cause of death was end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, according to the New York Times.
The Boston-born actor played the logical Vulcan science and first officer of the USS Enterprise on the original 1960s TV series and its subsequent movies. He last played Spock in 2013's Star Trek Into Darkness.
Nimoy first worked with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry on the TV series The Lieutenant. Following his initial stint on Trek, Nimoy replaced Martin Landau on Mission: Impossible. Nimoy received four Emmy nominations during his long career, three for Trek and one for the TV movie A Woman Called Golda. More recently, he played William Bell on Fringe, and voiced in Sentinel Prime in Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
