Scotty

I submitted the following to the BBC "Tributes" section

I always appreciated how Doohan and his Scotty character aged naturally in the public eye, instead trying to look perpetually thirty. Doohan was an actor, not a "star."

As for Scotty, the greatest to him tribute to him appeared in "Crimson Tide" when Denzel Washington invokes his name to motivate a crewman in a crisis. Science Fiction has plenty of swashbucklers, but Scotty was a working class man.
