    Holy cow, you're right! He was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. All this time I assumed he was British because he served in the airforce during WW II. Turns out it was the Canadian Air Force and not the RAF. When they were casting the role of the Chief Engineer for Star Trek, he tried on a bunch of accents including English, Scot, Irish, Russian and eventually ended up playing a Scottish engineer and the name and character developed from there. I didn't know he'd lost a finger during the war, either.
