Scotty's Gone
Another obituary I noticed this past week was for Scotty, the engineer on Star Trek. James Doohan died on July 20. He had played other characters before he was Scotty but once he was Scotty, he was firmly identified as that character. I read that his barber told him that he might as well accept that he would be Scotty till he died. After that he began to enjoy the benefits of being Scotty. I also read that he could speak a number dialects and tried several of them when he auditioned for the role. He decided that Scotsman was the best for the role. I was really sorry to read of his death.
