--- --- # Watch the _Star Trek Beyond_ Cast's Touching Tribute to Leonard Nimoy by [Jessica Derschowitz / EW.com](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jessica Derschowitz / EW.com Aug 25, 2015 11:41 PM UTC by [Jessica Derschowitz / EW.com](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Jessica Derschowitz / EW.com Aug 25, 2015 11:41 PM UTC The cast and crew of the next _Star Trek_ film, _Star Trek Beyond_, is remembering the late Leonard Nimoy and supporting a cause close to the late actor’s heart. Zachary Quinto, who stepped into Nimoy’s shoes (and ears) as Spock, leads the video tribute, remembering him as “an actor, a champion of the arts, and a true inspiration to so many.” “Through his legendary portrayal of Spock, he influenced countless scientists and artists — myself and the rest of the cast included,” Quinto added. The video, which shows Nimoy with Quinto and other members of the cast and crew, is part of the [Omaze campaign](https://premiere.omaze.com/experiences/startrek) highlighting nine different charities chosen by the _Star Trek Beyond_ stars — including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, an organization Nimoy was passionate about. Watch the cast pay homage (and give him a Vulcan salute) in the video above.
