Since he is the new Scotty, it will surely be mandatory that his accent is bad, but as bad as who's ??

Mike Myers in So I married an Axe murder
Mike Myers in Austin Powers 2 + 3
Mike Myers in ShrekMel Gibson in Braveheart
James Doohan in Star Trek

Or the most changing with every word

Bill Nighy as Dave Jones also speaks with a clearly distinguishable Scottish accent according to wikipedia


Greg Hemphill from Still Game also auditioned it was in the daily record

If only this happened it would be like this

Then what? You think your Li'l Witch buddy's
gonna stop with us? You saw her! She's a truck
driving Magic Mamma. We've got maybe seconds
before Darth Rosenberg grinds everybody into
Jawa-burgers, and not one of you bunch has the midiclorians to stop her

Simon Pegg's married to a Scot though, isn't he?
She'll keep him right.

I dunno it mite be interesting to see the early life's of the TOS crew and how the meet up, I reckon he will do the Scot's and the character proud *whispers* and if not we'll linch him wink

Also depends on who's directing it as well and whether s/he is a Star Trek fan
