This made me giggle. I have long thought of Tom Cruise as a space cadet.
However, to clarify, the character that Leonard Nimoy played in the original series was Mr. Spock, not Dr. Dr. Benjamin Spock is the renowned child psychologist, of course. I am not sure if the error came from the columnist or Tom Cruise,
Considering all the speculation that surrounded the casting of the upcoming “Star Trek” movie, it wouldn’t seem like a stretch to think that Tom Cruise might be one more late addition to the roster.
“Tom visited the set of the movie and chatted with J.J. Abrams,” a source close to the actor said. The last time Cruise was spotted on a set for a movie he wasn’t said to be signed on for — “Tropic Thunder” — it turned out he had a small role. Unfortunately for Cruise fans, the visit to the “Star Trek” set was just a social call — Cruise and Abrams are friends, and apparently, Cruise is a fan of the television series and in particular, Dr. Spock.
“He asked J.J. if there’s a way he can meet Leonard Nimoy. He said he’d always really respected his work,” said the source
