James Doohan and William Shatner are known not only for their writing but also for their acting roles in Star Trek. Doohan was also a linguist, and devised the Vulcan and Klingon language dialogue heard in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. (Over the next 20 years, Mark Okrand and other linguists expanded Klingon into a full language of its own.)

Famous quotes containing the word star:
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
