James Doohan in Oklahoma City

Excitement filled me in March of 1995 as I saw James Doohan, my first original series "Star Trek" star to see at a convention,. I took notes about the following information and quotes at the convention. I hope you enjoy them.

James Doohan was born to Scottish-Irish parents. He came to Hollywood in late 1961.

James's favorite original series episode was "The Doomsday Machine." He loved its "great" suspense.

Doing "Relics" (the ST:TNG episode) was "fabulous."

"I have fun doing any kind of acting."

What would you do if you were Captain of the Enterprise?

"I would limit Ensign Kirk to one girl every five years."

"Spock would never ever ever be allowed in my Engine Room."

"Bones would never be allowed to say he's dead Jim."

"Chekov would never be allowed to scream again."

"Sulu would never be allowed to carry arms."

About the other stars

"Everybody takes cover when George draws a weapon."

"Leonard was the best director we've ever had."

"Nichelle Nichols is a terrific gal."

One of James's great friends on the original series was George Takei, who took James to his first sushi dinner.

James sang some wonderful Welsh songs at this convention. If you ever see him at a Con, you should ask him to sing some. They were great.

James does more cons than any other star. He does (or at least did) 35-40 a year.
