James Doohan, the burly chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise in the original "Star Trek" TV series and motion pictures who responded to the command "Beam me up, Scotty," died early Wednesday. He was 85.

I prefer to think of myself as added support rather than a stand-in, Gary.

It looks like Scotty lived about 10% longer than the average guy? Hope it was a blessing for him and not a curse. Hope Scotty gets beamed up too.... ------------------ Longevity: (National Center for Health Statistics (10 Oct 2001) American males born in 2000 now enjoy an average life expectancy of 74.1 years, up 0.2 years from 1999. Females have an average life expectancy of 79.5 years, up 0.1 years. Women can still expect to live longer than men on average, though the gap in life expectancy continued a years-long narrowing trend last year. A 7-year difference between the sexes recorded in 1990 was down to 5.5 years last year. Significant racial differences remain, however. Age-adjusted mortality continued to fall for heart disease and cancer--the top two causes of death--as well as several other leading causes, including suicide, homicide, accidents, stroke, diabetes, chronic lower respiratory disease, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. However, mortality for diseases that disproportionately strike the elderly, such as Alzheimer’s and pneumonitis, increased.

Interestingly, he also fathered his last child at age 80. This was in real life, not on the screen.

I hope there is an unlimited supply of dilithium crystals wherever he is now. What a part of our tv culture. You go Scotty! ------------------ BackinBlack

His last role should have been for either Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. lol Sadly, that child will not have a father to grow up with.

I sat with Scotty in 1st class on a flight from Denver to LA one time. He was a heck of a good guy (down to earth) his left hand was messed up (never seen that on Star Trek) Live long and prosper Scotty...we Star Trek nuts will miss you.
