Canadian born actor James Doohan aka Scottie from Star Trek has died at age 85.

Even the vaunted dilithium crystals couldn't help this beloved character against Alzheimers and a bout of pneumonia.

That's what I thought, too... Had a sick feeling for a second.

When the series 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."

that's a great line.something I wish you would hear more from actors who have made millions of dollars (and millions of people happy) from playing a specific role

the line about Bill Shatner was funny too....guess the 2 Canucks didnt' get along that well in outerspace

Leonard Nimoy was born and raised in Boston.

Everything I ever needed to know, I learned from Scotty:

Kirk: "Have you always multiplied your repair estimates by a factor of 4?"

Scotty: "Certainly, Sir. How else can I keep my reputation as a miracle worker?"

Some hockey players would be wise to take this advice.... most enforcers aren't going to morph into a playmaking dynamo despite what they think.

[jonesy]

he had his last kid when he was 80. wow.

[Thunderball]

James Doohan was apparently a real joker, a great guy to have around... and Scotty was one of the coolest and most memorable characters in any show, Star Trek or other wise... he will be missed.

[the crispy badger]

God has finally beamed him up...
