I just found out that my favorite actor from any Star Trek, James Doohan, has passed away. I am one of the many Trekkies that believe that his was the best character in the Original Series. In addition to being a fine actor and master of many accents he was also a bona fide war hero fighting with his Canadian brothers during the Allied invasion of Europe on D-Day.
My favorite memory of him was from the very first Star Trek Convention I attended. Using his gift of accents he gave a long demonstration of what the Chief Engineer would have been like in every nationality imaginable.
