Kelley up for role of Spock???

What's the source for this info? I'm just wondering, especially since it says Kelley was approached in 1965. But TOS: "The Cage" (1964) had already been produced by that time with Leonard Nimoy in the role of Spock.

Actually, that's a mistake. Kelley was offered both Spock and Bones, and he chose the latter. [1] I'll correct this info. --From Andoria with Love 04:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

How to Pronounce?

How do you pronounce DeForest? 97.117.70.130 01:14, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Like "forest", with a "d'" before it. In other words, just about the same as it looks. --TribbleFurSuit 02:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Apparently, his nickname on set was "D" (or "De[e]"), as it has been mentioned and used by several production people in interviews and specials. — Loadmaster 16:59, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Oscar snub

Kelley wasn't among those to receive tribute in the Oscar 2000 Memoriam reel at their 72nd Annual Academy Awards for some unknown reason despite having many motion picture credits before his television, then Star Trek stint along with its first 6 feature films.

So, basically we're referencing something that didn't happen. Do we really need to mention lists that Kelley was not a part of? Do we need to note something that had nothing to do with DeForest Kelly? Also, the reasons are clear to anyone: Kelley is better known for television, and the Academy can only fit so many names into the reel. Lastly, and perhaps more importantly, including this note suggests that his exclusion was wrong, which is really a matter of opinion. --From Andoria with Love 08:09, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

It should be removed- we shouldn't state what didn't happen, especially in this manner, as it is an opinion, and lastly it is not relelvant to Trek.--31dot 08:47, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Episodes not appearing in

Kelley appeared in almost every episode of TOS, but in which ones was he absent? — Loadmaster 17:01, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
