The phrase "Beam me up, Scotty' takes on a whole new meaning today as James Doohan, who played the chief engineer Montgomery Scott in Star Trek, has died at the age of 85.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Doohan years ago at an Applause Video where he was promoting The Wrath of Kahn. Nice, friendly guy; a real class act. He will be missed. Tell DeForest and Gene hello for us Jimmy.
