Description Because he needed a snazzy noir stamp. ♥


James Montgomery Doohan was born in Northern Ireland in 1920. His family moved to Canada not long after. He was the youngest of four children. His father, a drunk, beat him often as an outlet for his anger. Partly as a way to get away from his rough home life, he joined the army and was a captain during WWII. He was the first of his group on the beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. After being shot up in the right leg and right hand, he became a pilot for the military. Afterwards he began acting, and eventually he became the character we all know to "Beam us up" when the landing party is in trouble. The original Scotty of Star Trek. He had 7 children, was Roman Catholic, and known for his kind and fun personality. ♥


Actor: James Montgomery Doohan (1920-2005)
Picture taken from "Strike in Town" short film.

Oh my word, I didn't know all that horrible stuff happened to him as a child... I'm glad he pulled through. We miss you, sweet Jimmy... *hugs*

Yeah, James's father was a brute, and took it out on Jimmy when he was a child, because he couldn't defend himself. Then James grows up, marries, has children, and is probably one of the best fathers you could ask for. He was determined to be a better man. ♥

Yeah, I had heard about him having an alchoholic father, but I didn't know whether he beat him that much or not. But at any rate, I'd *never* heard anything about him being raped when he was a kid, and that just shocked me, I literally started crying when I read that... oh my word that poor child... I'm glad he was able to rise above all that and become such a wonderful father and all-around person later... I guess that shows that even starting from the worst situations, happy endings can eventually come true...

A lot of other awful things happened to him. I just briefly mentioned a few...


James was such a fighter I don't even... I mean seriously. He was THE man.

He's certainly inspirational. I don't think I could ever be as brave as him...
