Re: OT: James Doohan
Only those who have met him know that he is also missing a finger. You would not know it to watch Star Trek, but he was indeed missing part of one of his fingers.
He was not suffering from full blown Alzheimer's as some would have us believe.
I can tell you that he did not like being asked stupid questions at conventions and such. By stupid I mean stupid questions such as: "How do you feel, being scottish and all, about O'Brian, an Irishman, running the transporter on the new Enterprise D?"
"I don't have an opinion, I am not scottish, I am Canadian!" LOL. That was a classic.
He was not a great actor, but he was a beloved one.
