   That would have been a very different, less physical, Spock.

   According to http://www.starbase-10.de/deforest_kelley_mccoy/ Kelley was actually very strong.

   I don’t doubt that, but Nimoy is considerably taller and younger.  Even if Kelley could win an arm wrestling match IRL, I think Nimoy’s Spock would act more physically than Kelley’s.  That’s a WAG on my part, of course.
