Leonard Nimoy on 'delicious' Fringe shoot
 

Leonard Nimoy says he had a 'delicious time' filming his role on TV show Fringe.

The Star Trek actor plays Massive Dynamic founder William Bell in the season finale of the US supernatural series, a mysterious character who has often been mentioned, but never seen.

The 78-year-old said: "I had a delicious time on this episode - I like the position they have given me, I like the enigma of this character."

Leonard will appear in additional episodes 'when they call me'.

The actor came to the part after bonding with the show's co-creator JJ Abrams when he reprised his most famous role of Spock in the new Star Trek film, which Abrams directed.

The actor had never seen Fringe before but was impressed with the show after watching a few episodes.

"It's not unlike any other show that's ever been done," he said. "It's just that the execution is so much more thoughtful and theatrical than what I've seen in the past."
