There have been many references to Nimroy and his Star Trek character Mr. Spock on the show, and Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons, even dressed as Spock in one episode. Not to mention there is even a game on the show called “Rock, Paper, Scissors… Lizard, Spock.”
Although Nimoy never appeared on-screen, he did make a guest appearance on the show for the episode “The Transporter Malfunction” in 2012, in which he lent his voice to a Spock action figure that spoke to Sheldon in his dreams.
