Young Spock in TSFS!

[Stardate]

I not know if this has been brought up before but when Spock's body has been resurrected by the Genesis effect he went into least 4 different age stages during planet ending at 25 years old(acted by Joe W. Davis). My question is if Kirk had managed or perhaps Saavik and David had gotten 25 years old Spock from the planet genesis effect would it mean his rapid aging would have stopped. We would have then seen younger Spock at the end of the movie instead off old Nimoy.

That's how I always viewed it.

me too. Here is another scenario, if younger Spock had be rescued instead off Old Spock, what would be the changes that young Spock and Savvik would have hooked up

Yes prolly, but thankfully that didn't happen.

He'd still be too young, ya know!

Was Alan Ruck (Ferris, Spin City, Generations) one of those who played Young Spock? Watching it the other day, there's somebody who looks a lot like him... Check out the scene where he screams and then throws a Klingon through the air and you'll see what I mean.

Exactly. Nimoy was able to take the maximum time to decide if he really wanted to return to ST. And it helped keep the secret that Nimoy was acting as well as directing!

The official daily callsheets (lists of actors/characters/costumes/food required each day), which sometimes have a habit of leaking off the sets, called the character "Nacluv", portrayed by "Frank Force" (ie. Spock is the frankest force in the universe). Nimoy also used the pseudonym for his credited cameo as the Excelsior Elevator Voice.

Can anyone confirm this?!

Alan Ruck did not appear in TSFS. According to IMDB, the young Spocks were played by Carl Steven (age 9), Vadia Potenza (age 13), Stephen Manley (age 17) and Joe W. Davis (age 25).

Thank you, Geoff. I thought so...
