Read more about Scotty at: Wikipedia Official Site: Paramount Television Montgomery "Scotty" Scott is a fictional Scottish engineer in the Star Trek media franchise. First portrayed by James Doohan in the original Star Trek series, Scotty also appears in the animated Star Trek series, seven Star Trek movies, the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Relics", and in numerous books, comics, and video games. Simon Pegg assumed the character for the 2009 film Star Trek. 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. Doohan himself chose Scotty's first name of Montgomery in honor of his maternal grandfather, James Montgomery. Montgomery Scott was born in Linlithgow, Scotland in 2222. Scott oversaw the Enterprise s refit prior to the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), and is part of the crew when the Enterprise confronts Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalbán) in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).
