Star Crossed

 


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.
