…. & Was Shot 6 Times in WW2

"He saw action during World War II and in "outer space." His exploits inspired many to enter the engineering profession. One person even followed him to the moon.

He speaks with a Scottish accent even though he is not from Scotland. As far as the Scots are concerned, he has yet to be born.

For those who have not yet guessed who he is, does the catchphrase "Beam me up, Scotty" ring a bell?…."

I didn't think Simon Pegg was that old.

He lost a finger in the Normandy campaign from those shots, too!

Hmmm, I was not aware of that.

Thanks for sharing.

I was at a forum with him once many years ago. I was under the impression that he lost the fingers firing a more rtar. But that I must have been mistaken.

If you watch old Star Trek episides, you'll see that they are careful not to show too much of his hands, as they didn't want this visible on-camera.

I'd heard it was from a "friendly fire" incident at Juno Beach by a jumpy sentry.
