Title: Re: James Doohan aka Scotty in Star Trek Post by: Mattman on July 20, 2005, 10:56:13 PM I remember back when I was 13 and a huge Star Trek fan, I went to a Star Trek convention and saw James Doohan there. They also had Walter Koenig, the guy who played Chekov, and the contrast between the two could not be greater. Koenig acted really bored while he was answering questions and just gave the general impression that he did not want to be there. Doohan, on the other hand, was cheerful, friendly and funny, and looked like he was pleased to be there. I remember he even sang a song that he learned as a kid growing up in Canada - much to the delight of the audience. He was great.
RIP Jimmy.
