Much of that work can now be revisited for longtime fans or seen for the first time for those looking to see some of Nimoy’s best work. Here are some of the essential performances that can be found on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more. _Star Trek_ **Available on: Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime** Nimoy’s most iconic role is, of course, as Spock in the many incarnations of the _Star Trek_ franchise. Thankfully, all three seasons of the original series that made Spock and the Vulcan Salute household names can be found on most major streaming services. For one of Spock’s best outings, try season two’s premiere, “Amok Time;” it’s an incredible example of Nimoy’s work on the show. _Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan_ **Available on: Netflix** Several of the _Star Trek_ films are streaming on Netflix—but for many fans, few compare to _The Wrath of Khan_, the second major film in the franchise. Spock’s climactic death scene is paramount to the movie’s place in the franchise’s history—and while fans have seen Spock since, Spock’s last moments are among the most iconic sendoffs for a character in cinematic history. _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_ **Available on Netflix, Amazon Prime** Nimoy had a supporting but memorable role in the 1978 _Body Snatchers_ as psychiatrist Dr. David Kibner. He also played his character’s alien double, who in part helps to explain what exactly the aliens’ goals are in the film. _Fringe_ **Available on Netflix, Amazon Prime** Before Nimoy even appeared on _Fringe_, his character, Dr. William Bell, played an integral role in the series’ mythology and the history of John Noble’s Walter Bishop. Nimoy first appeared in the season one finale and would occasionally pop up throughout the series, despite his announced retirement from acting during the show’s run. The producers even worked around his retirement in season three with an episode, “Lysergic Acid Diethylamide,” that included animated sequences using only Nimoy’s voice. _Mission: Impossible_ **Available on Netflix** Nimoy joined the cast of _Mission: Impossible_ in its fourth season and remained with the show through its fifth. Playing The Great Paris, he essentially replaced Rollin Hand on the show, and used his history as a magician to disguise himself on missions. One of his most memorable outings came in season four’s “The Great Falcon,” the show’s only three-part mission. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/02/27/leonard-nimoy-movies-tv-streaming "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ ### See Leonard Nimoy's Long and Prosperous Life in Photos  Leonard Nimoy in The Outer Limits in 1964.
