Long before he was Scotty on Star Trek, World War II hero James Montgomery Doohan was known as the 'craziest pilot in the Canadian air force'. Before Star Trek he performed in dozens of roles on radio, stage and television, including some bit parts in famous American series such as Bonanza, Twilight Zone, and Bewitched. He was awarded an honorary degree from the Milwaukee School of Engineering after nearly half of the student body reported that they had chosen to study engineering because of 'Scotty'
