This time it seems that Scotty is getting beamed up.

from wired.com:
Passage: James Doohan, 85
Doohan, who died Wednesday, was already a popular character actor when he auditioned for the role of the USS Enterprise's chief engineer, Montgomery Scott, on the TV show Star Trek. It was Doohan, a master of dialect, who decided on the voice his character should have: "I believed the Scot voice was the most commanding." Doohan, a captain with the Royal Canadian Artillery Regiment during World War II, was wounded on the first day of the Normandy invasion. After the war, Doohan studied acting in New York City and, before making his name beaming up Capt. Kirk, Mr. Spock and the gang, worked in radio and television, including appearances on Twilight Zone, The Virginian and Peyton Place.
