Summary No matter which Star Trek universe they're in, Captain Kirk always refers to Doctor McCoy by the affectionate nickname "Bones", but where does the nickname come from? Memorably played by DeForest Kelley in Star Trek: The Original Series, Doctor McCoy's acerbic wit was the perfect counterpoint to both William Shatner's charismatic Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy's deadpan Spock.

Future Spock actor Leonard Nimoy guest starred in four episodes of Wagon Train , playing four different characters.
J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Changed Why McCoy Called “Bones” Close J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek movie gave a far less evocative and interesting reason why Chris Pine's Captain Kirk called Karl Urban's Doctor McCoy "Bones". Where William Shatner's Captain Kirk was revealed to have a reputation as a bookworm at Starfleet Academy, Chris Pine's version was too busy flirting and getting into fights.
