Since the beginning of television, science fiction actors have been delivering performances with glimpses of futuristic elements including time travel, aliens or other life forms and advanced technology. Many of these TV shows include a lot of special effects; however, the actors are what make them really special.

Several accomplished actors top the list of best sci-fi TV actors: William Schatner, David Duchovney, Joshua Jackson and Nathan Fillion. Each actor took a unique approach to deliver their character. However, they all have one thing in common, each actor memorialized the character they play and have solidified their position in sci-fi history.

In many cases, sci-fi seems to be a great way for celebrities to establish a name and a loyal following. The Star Trek series had only 80 original episodes; however, the memorable actors have made the series eternal. William Schatner starred in the original Star Trek series and immediately comes to mind when someone talks about Star Trek. Schatner has extended his Star Trek fame to become a famous pitchman and also has starred in other popular TV series including TJ Hooker and The Practice.

David Duchovney starred in another sci-fi franchise, The X-Files. His portrayal of FBI agent Fox Mulder developed a cult-like following and culminated in Duchovney starring in a film by the same name. He now stars in a popular Showtime series: Californication. Joshua Jackson stars in the series Fringe. Many consider this series a knock-off version of the X-Files because it also is utilizes the FBI as a backdrop.

Finally, Nathan Fillion starred in Firefly. Originally, the series was cancelled; however, it found a loyal following in reruns and DVD showings. Ultimately, the Firefly franchise produced a movie, a comic series and a video game. Fillion has gone on to popular roles in Desperate Housewives and now stars in the Castle series.

Do you know Leonard Nimoy

To anyone who is interested in Leonard Nimoy trivia, there is another name which is almost as commonly associated with the face of this man as his own – that name is of course Mr. Spock, the character that Nimoy portrayed in the popular 1960′s television show, Star Trek. Even though Star Trek was only on the air for a few years, a much shorter time than many of today’s more popular television shows, the characters that were created in that short time have gone on to become among the most popular in American today. That original show spawned several other television programs including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, and of course nine feature films, including several in which Nimoy would reprise his character of Spock.

Any Leonard Nimoy quiz is going to be mostly filled with questions about his portrayal of the half vulcan half human Spock, and so we will be sure to give that its due regard here. Did you know that the original show only ran for 80 episodes? While this was the origination of the character of Mr. Spock, Nimoy would continue to play the character several other times over the years, right up until today. He played the character in the Star Trek films I-VI, as well as also reprising the role again in the most recent film “Star Trek” released in 2009.

Did you know that in addition to playing Mr. Spock on so many different occasions, Nimoy was also the director of a few of the Star Trek films? This is a little piece of Leonard Nimoy trivia that many who can only identify with him as his character are totally unaware of. He directed both Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home – which was, until the release of the new movie the most successful of any of the movies in the Star Trek franchise. His only other significant hit as a director was “Three Men and Baby” which was actually the highest grossing film the year of its release.

Did you know that Leonard Nimoy has also enjoyed considerable success in several other artistic arenas? He has released several recording albums, has published books of his photography, is a writer, including two autobiographies offering viewpoints of his reconciliation between himself and the character he is so famous for portraying, as well as being a published poet.
