A little Scotty trivia: James Doohan lost a finger from his right hand during the D-Day invasion in 1944 (friendly fire). So he always tried to cover his right hand during filming.

Harold LLoyd was missing fingers and maybe part of a hand, too. He used a prosthesis when filming.

Met Doohan once, at a trade show. Got maybe an extra 10 seconds with him because I had the autographed promo sheet made out to a nephew whose name is in the Scottish Play...
