Fringe Television reports that the role of William Bell, the heretofore unseen founder of Massive Dynamic and former lab partner of Walter Bishop, will be played by sci-fi fave Leonard Nimoy. He reportedly will make his first appearance in the show’s season finale May 12.
The casting makes sense, synergy-wise, as Nimoy has formed a relationship with the Fringe creators, having reprised his seminal role of Spock in the May 8 theatrical reboot of Star Trek.
