A&E > James Doohan
RIP.
I didn't know he was a D-Day veteran. He took six rounds from a machine gun, one of which took off his middle finger.

I knew he was a veteran, but not of D-Day and didn't know he was wounded so badly.
Amazing, isn't it? I never noticed he was missing a finger, though Hollywood is good at hiding that sort of thing.
Gary Burghoff (Radar on MASH) has a malformed hand. That's why they usually had him carryhing a clipboard or mail or something.
