Doohan's characterization of the Scottish chief engineer of the [[Starship Enterprise|Starship ''Enterprise'']] has become one of the most recognizable elements in the ''Star Trek'' franchise, and inspired many fans to pursue careers in [[engineering]] and other technical fields.<ref name=bbc050720>{{cite news |title=Obituary: James Doohan |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1493093.stm |publisher=[[BBC News]] |date=July 20, 2005 |access-date=April 29, 2007}}</ref> He also made contributions behind the scenes, such as the initial development of the [[Klingon language|Klingon]] and [[Vulcan language|Vulcan]] languages. Prior to his acting career, Doohan served in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the [[3rd Canadian Infantry Division]]. He also served as an Artillery Forward Observation Officer (FOO) and pilot.

He first saw combat on [[Normandy landings|D-Day]], landing in the second wave in a reconnaissance party at [[Juno Beach]]. The 13th Field Regiment was interspersed with the Regina Rifle Regiment landing at Nan Sector of Juno Beach. After shooting two [[sniper]]s, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of [[anti-tank mine]]s, where they took defensive positions for the night.

Doohan returned to the role of Scotty in the early 1970s for ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]''. [[Walter Koenig]] (navigator [[Pavel Chekov]]) was not hired for this series due to budget limitations, so Doohan voiced a replacement character: alien navigator [[Arex (Star Trek)|Arex]].

In 1992, he guest-starred in the ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode "[[Relics (Star Trek: The Next Generation)|Relics]]", playing an elderly Scotty reminiscing about his time on the ''Enterprise''. He and Walter Koenig appeared briefly with William Shatner in ''[[Star Trek Generations]]'', in a scene which transitioned the film series to the newer cast of the first of the later television series in the franchise. The Klingon language's basic sound, along with a few words, was created by Doohan and producer [[Jon Povill]]. Doohan also devised the [[Vulcan language|Vulcan]] dialogue for the feature film ''[[Star Trek: The Motion Picture]].''
