From July 20, 2005, here are various news stories on the death of actor James Doohan, who played "Scotty" in the Star Trek TV shows and movies. I met Mr. Doohan twice, and he was extremely nice.

  • He did so much more for Star Trek than play Scotty. He created the Klingon language and was a WWII pilot. He was active in the animated series and has inspired many of today's engineers and scientists to develop what we have today from cell phones, computers, tablets to actually working on alternate spacecraft engines and exotic materials. R.I.P. Jame Doohan.

  • I am a server, waited on him March 14th, 1980, I was 16.

  • I will always miss the guy

  • My goodness, he has an 11 year old daughter. How cool is that.

    

  • I attended a lecture he gave at WMU back in the early eighties. I even got his autograph on a flyer. I remember some jerk next to me yelled "Bridge to engineering! Come in, Scotty!". True to form, James replied from backstage, "Scotty to bridge! I'm right here!"

    I asked him what were his favorite Star Trek scenes starring himself. He said he like all the times he sat in the captain's chair, some scenes from "The Trouble with Tribbles", and the drunk scene from "By Any Other Name".

  • Save me a seat.......

  • A strange thing is I live only 20 miles away from where he lived

  • I had tears in my eyes watching that :(:( he will be sorely missed

  • "I'M DOIN' THE BEST I CAN!" One myth that must be addressed is the following: They NEVER said, "BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY!" on the show! "Scotty, beam me up!" was said in "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home."

  • He had a kid at the age of 80?

    Good going Scotty.

    Great upload.
