James Montgomery "Jimmy" Doohan ( ; March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005) was a Canadian character and voice actor best known for his role as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in the television and film series ''Star Trek''. Doohan's characterization of the Scottish Chief Engineer of the Starship ''Enterprise'' was one of the most recognizable elements in the ''Star Trek'' franchise, for which he also made several contributions behind the scenes. James Doohan started the Klingon and Vulcan languages. Many of the characterizations, mannerisms, and expressions that he established for Scotty and other ''Star Trek'' characters have become entrenched in popular culture. Following his success with ''Star Trek'', he supplemented his income and made numerous public appearances. As a result of his portrayal of Scotty, Doohan inspired many fans to pursue careers in engineering and other technical fields. ==Early life== Doohan was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the youngest of four children of William and Sarah Doohan, who emigrated from Bangor, County Down, Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Down/Bangor/Main_Street/261096/ )〕 His mother, Sarah Frances (née Montgomery), was a homemaker.
