Why Leonard Nimoy Couldn’t Play Sybok In Star Trek V

Sybok had to be a totally different character.

If the hearsay that Leonard Nimoy want to play Spock and Sybok inStar Trek V : The Final Frontieris true , it could n’t have work . Spock and Sybok are not twins;Sybok is the older brotherand is his own discrete person . Unlike Spock , Sybok is not half - human and he rejected Vulcan logic to go after his finally misguide belief that God was address to him from the mythologic world of Sha Ka Ree . Sybok had to be a completely separate part from Spock for very consistent reason .

Laurence Luckinbill thankfully did form a bond with Leonard Nimoy after Star Trek 5 : The Final Frontier wrapped filming .

Although it could have been fascinating to see Leonard Nimoy flirt his own emotional Vulcan brother , director William Shatner also had no design of letting Nimoy play two portion inStar Trek V.Shatner had his own visual sense for Sybok , who he ab initio conceive as a holy man named Zar inspired by the televangelist of the 1980s . After Zar was reimagined as Spock ’s brother , Shatner envisioned Sean Connery as Sybokbefore choose Laurence Luckinbill . Whether or not the rumor is true , Laurence Luckinbill thankfully did shape a hamper with Leonard Nimoy afterStar Trek V : The Final Frontierwrapped filming .
