Sorry all the cast and crew though Bill was a serious asshole, Spock included. And James Doohan couldn't take him either. Out of all of them, Doohan is the only on with any balls. Landed a craft on D-Day, shot 5 times and had his finger on his right hand blown off!

Crossing between command posts at 11:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren Gun by a nervous Canadian sentry: four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother. His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal on-screen during most of his career as an actor.
