James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery Scott in the
television and film series Star Trek, had seven children, including twins
Montgomery and Christopher. When the twins were high school seniors, their
father told them he’d arranged for them to take a tour of the studio where Star
Trek: The Motion Picture was being filmed. The boys arrived, and James said the
first place they’d visit was the costume department. The three of them entered
the building, and were approached by a costume tech who said the boys’ costumes
were ready for them; they should get dressed now. James confessed that he hadn’t
really arranged for a studio tour at all. The boys were there to be extras in
the new movie. You can catch a glimpse of them in a scene where the Enterprise
crew is being briefed: Montgomery with a mustache and white uniform, stands behind
Chris, who’s clean-shaven, in tan.
