William Shatner, George Takei Pay Tribute To Leonard Nimoy

William Shatner played Captain Kirk opposite Leonard Nimoy's Mr. Spock on the "Star Trek" television series and in multiple feature films. Following Nimoy's death on Friday, Shatner released a statement about losing his longtime friend and colleague.

"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." -William Shatner

Shatner also posted a photo of him and Nimoy together to his social media accounts:

In addition to Shatner, "Star Trek" star George Takei offered his remembrance of Nimoy in an interview with MSNBC:

The word extraordinary is often overused, but I think it's really appropriate for Leonard. He was an extraordinarily talented man, but he was also a very decent human being. His talent embraced directing as well as acting and photography. He was a very sensitive man. And we feel his passing very much. He had been ill for a long, long time, and we miss him very much.
