I was just watching some old Dragnet Episodes and came across one with Nimoy in it. He played a thug in Episode 68 titled "The Big Boys", telecast in 1954. I think he had maybe half a dozen lines.
It may have been his first role , very young then,... yeah he was in a gang , there was a motel lobby & a puppy the gang had to come back to feed their puppy?
Easy to believe Jack Webb was a major-league penny pincher. Watching Dragnet these days I'm amazed at how cheap & sparse the sets are, even the interiors of what are supposed to be upscale homes. And Friday & Gannon sharing a table - not even a desk - and having to sit right across from each other!. Gannon doesn't even have room to set a notepad down. This is a pretty ridiculous show if you make the mistake of actually paying attention to it. Still, it paid for Jack Webb's many identical gray suits.

Nimoy also appeared in a Highway Patrol episode (1950's) as a thug (the muscle) at a railway yard
Ohhhhhhh, he's talking about Dragnet from the mid 1950s, not the one from 1967 to 1970.
No clips? Oh well, they shouldn't be hard to find.
I just love elder Nimoy's voice.
