Star Trek First

Was Martin Landau really the first choice to play Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek?

Authoritative Answers Only Please! Is there any hard evidence - not hearsay, no "I remember seeing it" - that Martin Landau was Gene Roddenberry's first choice to play Mr. Spock on the classic Star Trek? Roddenberry himself denied the rumor all his life, stating Leonard Nimoy was always the first choice. Does anyone really have any proof that (as the IMDB asserts) that Landau was the first choice?

The previous answer that Leonard Nimoy was always Roddenberry's first choice is correct. Nimoy was in the pilot....Nimoy knew and was in the process of creating the character...Nimoy was Rodenberry's first choice. Just as pointed out, however, if for some reason Nimoy had turned the part down then Landau was the 2nd choice.

Good thing he did not turn the part down as Spock has become one of the most sucessful characters in Star Trek!
