Leonard Nimoy will guest on Fringe

According to various reports,Leonard Nimoy will guest on Fox's Fringe as William Bell, Massive Dynamic founder and Walter Bishop’s former lab partner at Harvard.

Showrunners Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman revealed some of the plot points for Nimoy's episode (season one finale) to E!.

Regarding the relationship between Walter Bishop (John Noble) and William Bell (Leonard Nimoy): "We always imagine that they were two of the smartest guys in their classes, and they went through the Ivy League together."

"At that point in college where you're discovering yourself, but these guys, the intelligent geniuses they are, they might come to conclusions about what's important in this world. So we always imagine that they were very much like each other, very much friends, and very much a team—brothers in a way, and that life took them in different directions, either complementary or not directions, and we're going to find out."

Orci and Kurtzman talked about the approaches both Walter and William take to the Pattern. "They have not only different approaches to the Pattern, but different interpretations of what the Pattern is. The Pattern is slightly in the eye of the beholder, you're going to find out. And sometimes what you think is real can become real. In a way, these two are the top minds in the world attempting to figure out the Pattern and how to react to it, based on their world view."
