McGillion As Star Trek's Scotty?
By Ryan 'The Rican with the Irish name' McLelland on September 27, 2007
J.J. Abrams continues to look for his Star Trek Enterprise cast...rather slowly I think. I mean the first casting announcement was Zachary Quinto playing Spock two months ago at Comic-Con! Now we only have two more castings (Zoe Saldana and Anton Yelchin) while J.J. Abrams slowly handpicks the crew.TrekMovie.com has confirmed that Stargate Atlantis actor Paul McGillion has auditioned for the role of Montgomery Scott in the new Star Trek movie. Says the site: The 38 year-old actor is well known to sci-fi fans for his portrayal of the Scottish doctor Carson Beckett on the popular Stargate spin-off and his name often comes up in fan discussions regarding potential ‘Scotty’ actors. Like the original Scotty (James Doohan) McGillion is from Canada, but he was born in Scotland and clearly does a ‘flawless’ Scottish accent. Unlike previously reported Scottish competition, McGillion held his recent Trek audition in Los Angeles instead of London. The actor tells TrekMovie.com "Obviously it would be a great honour to follow in James Doohan’s footsteps."
