James Doohan, 85, dies.
July 20, 2005 @ 02:19 AMJames Doohan is best remembered for his roll as “Scotty” on Star Trek. His only other major TV roll was in the 1950’s, also a sci-fi, called “Space Command”.
I would like to highlight his life BEFORE being Scotty, however. Doohan fought in World War II, and was injured on Juno Beach on D-Day, losing the middle finger of his right hand. For his service protecting his country (Canada) and all free countries, we thank him. Scotty is how we’ll remember him, but Captain James Doohan of the Royal Canadian Artillery was his most important role.
