    That story Doohan told about the suicidal girl always brings a tear to my eye. He was a good soul, did a good deed, and helped to save someone's life. A fine documentary, and thank you, James Doohan, for BEING Scotty in the show and the movies. Now, you're among the stars for all time.

    Fantastic insight into the life of James Doohan, a fine actor and an immense human being, a real gentleman who will always be missed.

    Jimmy will live forever as his character Scotty. What a great legacy.

    Jimmy was perhaps the nicest actor I ever knew. Humble. Caring. Gentle. Smart. Generous. Everything you would imagine he would be, and more. Once, we spent almost an hour discussing various ideas for tractor beams. True story. He was as interested in the possibilities as anyone was.

    The worlds been darker since he passed. A hero, and i don't mean just for his work on star trek.
  • @AlexIsModded
    What a lovely person he was. Such a bright character. When you listen to him talk, he not only has so much fun with life, but he's also freaking brilliant.

    A great storyteller, I could listen to him all day

    I'm glad to have had the opportunity to watch Star Trek in the seventies. I still enjoy it in 2022... Thank the entire cast, and crew. We won't work like that again...
  • Such a lovely man, and it’s good to learn Jimmy has Irish roots. Prayers for Jimmy’s memory from Northern Ireland ☘️🙏🏻
  • I had the honor on meeting Jimmy Doohan in 1998 at the California State Fair
