Live long and prosper.  He sure did!

Between the cancellation of the original series and the revival in Star Trek in the early 1980s, Leonard Nimoy was IMO an excellent character actor that appeared in a number of TV shows.  I recall an episode of Columbo where Nimoy played a senior surgeon that was attempting to kill a fellow surgeon by making the death look like natural causes.  Of course, Columbo eventually figured out what the former Mr. Spock was up to.

WSJ.com: Star Trek Actor Leonard Nimoy Dies at 83 - Was famous for role as Spock in TV series and movies (http://on.wsj.com/1AhPdQ7)

QuoteLeonard Nimoy, the actor best known for playing the cerebral, half-alien Spock on "Star Trek,"  died Friday, according to his talent agent, Bob Gersh. He was 83 years old.

QuoteMr. Nimoy's role, originated on the 1960s science-fiction show, became one of the most recognizable of the 20th century. The character's cool rationality often served as a counterpoint to the histrionics of Captain Kirk, the emotive spaceship commander played by William Shatner.

QuoteSpock's hyperlogical demeanor and pointy ears were made more complex by a brand of ethics summed up in his catch phrase: "Live long and prosper."

Though maybe his best role on TV outside of Star Trek was before putting on the ears, when he played the role of reporter Judson Ellis in a 1964 episode of the [black and white] Outer Limits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outer_Limits_%281963_TV_series%29) entitled I, Robot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I,_Robot_%281964_The_Outer_Limits%29).

He co-starred in this episode with Marianna Hill and John Hoyt, both of whom guest-starred on Star Trek.

It's interesting that the bearded Spock from the Mirror-Mirror episode was used.
