Where are the people complaining that he was only cast because of his race?

It's almost like it was never about being accurate, and it's based purely in hatred, racism, and contrarianism... almost

I'm sure they'll be here any minute....

Even though I didn’t enjoy the movie, I’m still sad that Paul McGillion wasn’t cast as Scotty for the 2009 film. He’s both Scottish and Canadian, so perfect for carrying the torch.

Oh my god I would have loved him as Scotty.

I love hearing him speak normally because when he gets excited or worked up about something the accent gets more pronounced.

He really amped it up in Stargate as Dr Beckett but he certainly still does have an accent.
