>> James Doohan, beam thyself. I really don't feel one way or another about Star Trek these days, but the actor playing Mr. Scott interested me for a number of reasons. One, he was missing the middle finger of his right hand (injuries sustained on D-Day), and he somehow managed to hide it from the camera for nearly four decades. Two, Doohan's is the only documented case of which I am aware in which a cigarette case actually stopped a bullet.
