    William Shatner has led tributes to Leonard Nimoy.

    The 'Star Trek' actor says he loved his late co-star, who died at his home in Los Angeles as a result of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, "like a brother."


    The 83-year-old star, who played the original Captain James T.
