Actor Leonard Nimoy (79) says a farewell now as he goes for retirement and said is it was fun to be acting again but it has come to time for me to retire as an actor.

“I don’t think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto,” he said of his successor, who played a younger version of Spock in last year’s “Star Trek” reboot. “He’s a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it’s time to give him some space. And I’m very flattered the character will continue.”

Nimoy isn’t just done “Trekking” — he told the paper that his role on TV’s “Fringe” is finished as well.

“I was away from acting for 12 years, so I guess I was seducible,” he said of his part as Dr. William Bell on the FOX show. “But since (producer) J.J. Abrams revived the ‘Star Trek’ franchise, I felt I owed him something. And I’m glad I did it because he promised me a good story, and it was.”

And he also said that its time to step away.
“I’ve been doing this professionally for 60 years,” he said. “I love the idea of going out on a positive note. I’ve had a great, great time.”
