Leonard Nimoy in Volkswagen Bug Commercial

Hey cool. He looks a lot younger than a lot of the recent pictures I've been seeing of him. Glad to see he shouldn't be looking like death warmed over in the new movie.
Is anyone surprised that he took this gig? Does it seem like he might be getting back into the acting game more since coming out of retirement for the movie?

Of course it is! It's on television.
Anyone besides me thought his acting was ... awkward?
Yeah, felt exactly the same about it. I also didn't like the "beaming away" bit at the end. Can you get more stereotypical?
For a guy in his 70's, I think Leonard Nimoy is in great form!
He has earned the right to make this commercial, as the message is true. For years he tried to escape the role, then embraced it, now he can find humor in it. I'd say LM has come full circle.
The only Priceline commercial I enjoyed was when LM was in it.
If a VW is good enough for Spock, I should go buy one right now!

It's tradition. Everyone's done it, from the Simpsons to the Daily Show.
"Uh, Leonard, is it okay if we, you know, 'beam you out?'"
*sighs* "Do what you have to, Jon." *Photo of Nimoy beams off screen*
