    Only met two - James Doohan and Leonard Nimoy

    Scotty was at a trek convention in Edinburgh in '95 or '96 and i was absolutely astonished when he had a Canadian accent, when i mentioned it, he laughed and said he was too scared to try his Scottish accent, but a very cool guy.

    Spock i met in London when he was doing a book signing (i think it was called "Seriously, I'm Not Spock, i'm a Fully Rounded Actor.......ah, Screw It, Yeah, I'm Spock....") But he just looked really old and tired, and was very quiet - i just wanted to give him a big hug, and make him a mug of tea.

    Would have loved to meet Jimmy Doohan, in the documentary 'Trekkies' he seemed like such a nice bloke

    Hard to know with Nimoy at times what he makes of the whole thing

    Patrick Stewart I'm unsurprised by, I saw a vid where he refused to take a photograph with some fans, polite etc but just about because he seemed quite annoyed by them. I guess if you sign autographs a lot it probably becomes a monotonous chore.

    Yeah I recall seeing that video. I don't think he is annoyed by trek fans in general, he just has a policy of only signing stuff for the play or movie he is doing at that moment. Showing up with some Star trek merchandise at a play is a bit tacky anyway.

    Well he agreed to play spock in the reboot so I imagine he is fine with his work regarding trek. You are right though, he deffo looks his age. He retired in 2011 anyway. He only does voice over work now as it's less time consuming.

    Ah my dear EnterNow. If you re-read the posts I think you will find I was talking about Nimoy. I did mention him by name after all. :)

    Btw, I'll never ever forgive you for scaring me like that. I honestly thought for a second that he was dead and I'd completely missed it. Bad enternow....bad.... :p

    Ah I see, its just that you quoted the original line where I was talking about Doohan too, which threw me off.

    Speaking of aging, old characters. How old is Nimoy now? Shatner too looks like he's very advanced...you'd have to wonder when they'll eventually join the great bird of the galaxy
