Chris Doohan Gets His Audition November 5, 2007 by Anthony Pascale , Filed under: ST08 Cast , trackback James Doohan’s son Chris Doohan’s name first came up in relation to the new Star Trek film last February when he started a somewhat tongue-in-cheek campaign to land the role of Scotty. He has since gracefully endorsed the selection of Simon Pegg to fill his father’s shoes as the Enterprise’s engineer. That might have been the end of the story, but recently rumors arose that Doohan actually got an audition. TrekMovie.com contacted Chris and he confirmed that he recently read for an unnamed ‘minor speaking role.’ Doohan wouldn’t go into details, but stated:
Star Trek has been a huge part of my life since I was about seven years old, so you can only imagine how honored I am that they asked me to audition.
