Spock might just be the most iconic Star Trek character of all time thanks to the men who have brought the character to life.

When it comes to iconic Star Trek characters there are perhaps none that stand out quite so much as Spock. While he may not have been the captain of the Enterprise or acted as rear admiral like his friend, James T Kirk, that doesn’t mean that Spock wasn’t just as beloved and well-known among Starfleet.

And when we think of Spock, what or who comes to mind? Honestly, there have been a number of actors who have either portrayed or voiced the character of Spock over the years, however, there are three prominent actors who stand out for their live-action portrayals.

The three actors that have truly embodied the character and brought him to life on our screens are Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto, and Ethan Peck. These are the three men we truly see when we think of Star Trek and Spock.

But which of these actors has been the best of the best when it comes to playing Spock and who is perhaps third in our hearts? Honestly, number one is hands down the easiest choice of all time, but it was definitely the second and third place picks that were a struggle. After all, these three actors have each brought something different to the role and the character. They have each made Spock their own and we have to thank them for that.

So which Spock is our favorite? And which Spock is perhaps not quite as dear to us?
