Bio

Adam was born during the Eisenhower administration to Leonard and Sandra Zoberblatt Nimoy. He attended the University Elementary School, a “lab school” run by UCLA, where he was subjected to psychological experiments. Experimentation continued at UC Berkeley using mind-altering substances from which he may, or may not, have recovered. In a state of absolute certainty, Adam attended Loyola Law School. He was wrong. After seven years of practicing entertainment law and one moment of clarity, Adam left his life as an attorney to follow his passion for storytelling. After directing forty-five hours of network television, some of it sublime, some of it unwatchable, Adam’s career plummeted due in large part to drug and alcohol addiction. On January 1, 2004, Adam entered 12-step recovery, hoping to achieve an attitude adjustment. This was a New Year’s resolution he knew he had to keep. For over ten years, he taught filmmaking at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles and at Beit T’Shuvah, an addiction treatment center, where the residents kept him on the straight and narrow

In 2016, Adam directed For The Love Of Spock, a documentary about his father and Mr. Spock, and in 2024, he published The Most Human, a memoir about his complicated relationship with his dad.
