James Doohan, 1920 - 2005
When the series ("Star Trek") ended in 1969, Doohan found himself typecast as Montgomery Scott, the canny engineer with a burr in his voice. In 1973, he complained to his dentist, who advised him: "Jimmy, you're going to be Scotty long after you're dead. If I were you, I'd go with the flow.""I took his advice," said Doohan, "and since then everything's been just lovely."
Fare thee well, Jimmy. Thank you for the memories.

People will remember Scotty and never know Lt. Doohan, Canadian Army, who went ashore in the D Day invasion with an artillery unit.
