Mr. Scott is perhaps one of the most beloved characters in all of Star Trek, largely because of the way he was portrayed by actor James Doohan.
Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto take a look at the Canadian actor on this episode of 70s Trek.
Before Jimmy Doohan was an actor, he was a war hero, having stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day during the Second World War. After leaving the armed services, Doohan decided to try his hand performing. It eventually brought him to Hollywood during TV's Golden Age.
After Star Trek, Doohan supported his family through the occasionally TV episode and personal appearances.
But throughout the 70s, he stayed excited for Star Trek, believing the show would be back as a major motion picture.
