James Montgomery Doohan, an actor best remembered for playing “Scotty” on the popular television series “Star Trek”, created the name for that character (Montgomery Scott) by using parts of his own. The series became a cult classic, though it originally ran for only three seasons. He appeared as “Scotty” in an episode of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” as well, and, in the animated series, most of the voices heard were actually his. His famous accent, by the way, was a complete fake. The accent, however, was so familiar that he actually had trouble getting other acting jobs because the directors didn’t want the accent in their productions. James Montgomery Doohanwas creamated, and most of his ashes were given to either family or friends. However, one quarter ouce of his ashes were actually launched into orbit around the Earth.
