[net.startrek] Double Role In Same Show

   I don't remember the name, but it was the episode where Kirk, et. 
   al. were transported to a simulation of the gunfight at the O.K.
   corral.  The voice of the Melkotian space-bouy that told them to
   go away (which they didn't listen to) was done by James Doohan
   (Scotty).

nmtvax!221ande hit it right on the nose:  In ''Spectre of
the Gun,'' James Doohan played both Scotty and the voice
of the Melkotian.  He was the only regular to play in a
guest appearance role in the same show that he appeared
as a regular, and as such the only regular to be listed
by the producers as a guest star.  Note this does not
count Nurse Chappel's 'guest' role in The Menagerie; this
is not a guest star role because (1) her role in the old
pilot was as a regular and (2) the producers do not list
her as a guest star.

	Actually, James Doohan was here at U of T in 1978 when I remember
him saying that he did three of the voices for the animated Star Trek series
as well.  Seems as though he probably does a lot of this kind of work.

P.S.  James Doohan does *not* speak with a Scottish accent.  His middle
name is "Montgomrey" (sp?) from which his name on Star Trek came from (Really!).
