James Doohan, the actor who played Scotty in the original Star Trek TV series has died aged 85.

Doohan, who played the Starship Enterprise's chief engineer, helped make the catchphrase "Beam me up Scotty" one of the most famous in TV history.


His wife of 28 years, Wende, was by his side, Steve Stevens added.

The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease.

Canadian-born Doohan was enjoying a busy career as a character actor when he auditioned for a role as an engineer in a new space adventure on NBC in 1966.

That's too bad. The original Star Trek's weren't my favorite, but they were always good. He was looking increasingly bad, so I guess he can finally rest now.

RIP Scotty! :lol:

Am I the only one that thinks having a kid at his age is a bit irresponsible? He died leaving behind a 5 year old with no dad <3 That's makes me especially sad <3
