Montgomery Scott (Scotty), played by James Doohan in Star Trek TOS. Doohan was cast as the Enterprise engineer for the second Star Trek pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (1966) on the recommendation of that episode's director, James Goldstone, who had worked with him before. The character almost didn't make it to the show after series creator Gene Roddenberry sent Doohan a letter informing him, "We don't think we need an engineer in the series"; only the intervention of Doohan's agent meant that the character could remain. He tried a variety of accents for the part, and decided to use a Scottish accent on the basis that he thought Scottish people make the best engineers. I love his character, he reminds me of my beloved grandpa.Scotty is the second piece of my Star Trek artist trading card project. Further pencil portraits are coming soon:Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Chapel, Chekov, Sulu.Thank you!-----COPYRIGHT NOTICE:My gallery and the artworks in it are Copyright ©2005-2012 Liz Molnar.
