Sorry there is no Biography!


He and wife Wende became parents to 7 lb. 13 oz. Sarah. [11 April 2000] Toured as Spokesman for Philips Electronics HDTV 1999. He was given an honorary Degree in Engineering by the Milwaukee School of Engineering where apparently half of the students polled said they were inspired to study engineering by his role in "Star Trek" (1966). Children with Young are: Larkin (1954), Deirdre (1957), and twin boys, Montgomery Doohan (1959) and Christopher Doohan (1959). Larkin is a nurse, and Deirdre an aspiring singer/actor. Grew up in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. Episodes of "Star Trek" (1966) in which one can see that his middle finger is missing: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; "Cats Paw"; "Day of the Dove" (when Doohan grabs a claymore) and "The Lights of Zetar" (towards the end, when Scotty grabs Lt. Mira Romaine). Also in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), when Scotty is handing McCoy the parts from the Trans-Warp Drive, as well as in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) when Scotty is holding a plastic bag dinner given to him by Uhura. Although Marc Okrand is credited with creating the Klingon language of Star Trek, James Doohan came up with an unrefined version for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Suffered from Alzheimer's disease and was ravaged by Parkinson's disease, diabetes, lung fibrosis and pneumonia. Made his first ("Where No Man Has Gone Before" episode of "Star Trek" (1966)) and last (Star Trek: Generations (1994) ) "Star Trek" appearances with William Shatner. Suffered a massive heart attack in 1979. He was the youngest of four children of William Doohan (a pharmacist, veterinarian and dentist) and Sarah Doohan. His early life was miserable due to his father being a drunk and abusive to the entire family. His parents, William and Sarah Doohan, were (at the time of his birth) recent Catholic refugees from mainly Protestant Belfast who left Ireland during the War of Independence (also called the Anglo-Irish War). He was the only then-living "Star Trek" (1966) cast member not to lend his voice to the "Futurama" (1999) episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", leading to his character Scotty being replaced by the farcical Welshie. According to the show's creators, his only response to their request that he appear on the show was a simple "No way.". On D-Day, his Royal Canadian Artillery unit was assigned to land on Juno Beach (the Canadian beach - Gold and Sword were British, Omaha and Utah were American). When returning to his Command Post, after liaising with the unit's Regimental Survey Officer, Lieutenant Doohan was machine-gunned and took eight bullets: three in his hand, smashing his middle finger; four in his leg and one in his chest. The one shot in his chest would have proved fatal if not for a silver cigarette case he had in the breast pocket of his uniform. Appeared in episodes of three different series with Leonard Nimoy: "Star Trek" (1966), "Star Trek" (1973) and "Duckman: Private Dick/Family Man" (1994). Gained weight in the early 1980s as a consequence of quitting smoking. A cocktail known as the "Beam me up, Scotty" (Jim Beam, 7-Up and Glenlivit single malt scotch) is named in honor of James Doohan's character. In Gene DeWeese's 2005 Star Trek novel "The Engines of Destiny", a last farewell to Doohan is made. Scotty finally retires at age 200 from being a "Miracle Worker", at Starfleet's Corps of Engineers. Before he gained his fame as "Scotty" on "Star Trek" (1966), he started in television being sent into outer space in "Space Command" (1953) and "Tales of Tomorrow" (1951). Another episode of Star Trek (1966) that you can see his missing middle finger is "Friday Child". When he is making the Captain's log entry a crew member hands him a report to sign and you see his right hand.
