He not only devised the Klingon language used in the "Star Trek" films, he also performed voice-over work for other characters on the show.

In a 1998 interview, the actor was asked if he was tired of hearing the line "Beam me up, Scotty," to which he replied, "I'm not tired of it at all. Good gracious, it's been said to me for just about 31 years. It's been said to me at 70 miles an hour across four lanes on the freeway. I hear it from just about everybody. It's been fun."

I loved it when I found out he developed both Klingon and Vulcan (yep, both).

He was a really gracious man--always gentle and funny at conventions. A real person, not just an actor.
