A great man forever condemned to live down a "one liner"

He once said he fully expected "He's dead, Jim" to be etched on his gavestone. He's more than just that line, and he deserves better.

The single line phrase you mentioned sound farmiliar, Who was he & what was he in??

Thanks

Yes and then there was the adaptable "I'm a doctor, not a (bricklayer)" line too, but I suppose that these catchphrases are so much a part of the DeForrest Kelley that we are familiar with, that they'll always be there.

Those that didn't know him personally will instead remember him for his most famous work and so I hope that he'll be remembered as someone who gave a lot of people a lot of enjoyment over the years. That's not a bad epitaph as they go.

Perhaps he would have benefitted from a shot of Dr. Crusher's famous "Anapropoline". Or maybe she would have just said "I'm a Doctor Jean Luc, not a miracle worker".

RIP DeForest
