Leonard McCoy

Leonard Horatio McCoy, M.D., nicknamed "Bones", is a fictional character in the fictional Star Trek universe, played by the late DeForest Kelley. In ', he was one of the three main characters and the humanistic counterpart to the logical Spock; capable of great compassion, yet also cranky, superstitious, and irrational, shunning advanced technology (especially the transporter beam, which he regarded with distrust) and occasionally even bigoted with regard to Spock's part-Vulcan ancestry. It is also notable that he was the only southerner among the racially and ethnically diverse crew of the NCC-1701.
