McCoy
was born in Georgia, January 20, 2227.[4] The son of David,[5]:257–258 he attended the University of
Mississippi[2]and is a divorcé.[6] In 2266, McCoy was posted as
chief medical officer of the USS Enterprise under
Captain James T. Kirk who
often calls him "Bones".[2] McCoy and Kirk are good
friends, even "brotherly".[5]:146 The passionate, sometimes
cantankerous McCoy frequently argues with Kirk's other confidant, science
officer Spock,[1] and occasionally is bigoted toward Spock's Vulcan heritage.[7] McCoy often plays the role of
Kirk's conscience, offering a counterpoint to Spock's logic.[1] McCoy is suspicious of technology,[8] especially the transporter;[2] as a physician, he prefers less
intrusive treatment and believes in the body's innate recuperative powers.[1] The character's nickname,
"Bones", is a play on sawbones, an epithet for physicians,[9] in particular, those qualified
as surgeons.[10]

Kirk
orders McCoy's commission reactivated in Star Trek:
The Motion Picture (1979);[2] a resentful McCoy complains of
being "drafted".[11] Spock transfers his katra—his
knowledge and experience—into McCoy's mind before dying in Star Trek
II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).[2] This causes mental anguish for
McCoy, who in Star
Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) helps restore Spock's
katra to his reanimated body.[2] McCoy rejoins Kirk's crew
aboard the USSEnterprise-A in Star Trek IV:
The Voyage Home (1986).[2] In Star Trek
V: The Final Frontier, McCoy (through the intervention of
Spock's half-brother Sybok) reveals that he helped his father commit suicide to
relieve him of his pain. Shortly after the suicide, a cure was found for his
father's disease, and McCoy carried the guilt about it with him for the rest of
his life. In Star
Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991), McCoy and Kirk
escape from a Klingon prison world,
and the Enterprise crew stops a plot to prevent peace between
the United
Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.[2] Kelley reprised the role for
the "Encounter at Farpoint"
pilot episode of Star Trek:
The Next Generation (1987), insisting upon no more than the
minimum Screen Actors Guild payment
for his appearance.[12]

In
the Star Trek:
The Animated Series episode "The
Survivor", McCoy mentions he has a daughter. Chekov's friend Irina in the original series
episode "The Way to Eden"
was originally written as Dr. McCoy's daughter Joanna, but changed before the
episode was shot.[13]

In
the 2009 Star Trek film, which takes place in
an "alternate, parallel" reality,[14] McCoy and Kirk become friends
at Starfleet Academy,
which McCoy joins after a divorce that he says "left [him] nothing but
[his] bones." This line, improvised by Urban,[15] explains how McCoy came to be
known as Bones. McCoy later helps get Kirk posted aboard the USS Enterprise.

Star
Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had worked with Kelley
on previous television pilots,[16] and Kelley was Roddenberry's
first choice to play the doctor aboard the USS Enterprise.[17] However, for the rejected
pilot "The
Cage" (1964), Roddenberry went with director Robert Butler's
choice of John Hoyt to play
Dr. Philip Boyce.[18] For the second pilot, "Where No Man
Has Gone Before" (1966), Roddenberry accepted director James Goldstone's decision to have Paul Fix play Dr. Mark Piper.[19]Although Roddenberry wanted Kelley
to play the character of ship's doctor, he didn't put Kelley's name forward
to NBC; the network never "rejected"
the actor as Roddenberry sometimes suggested.[17]

Kelley's
first broadcast appearance as Doctor Leonard McCoy was in "The Man Trap" (1966). Despite his
character's prominence, Kelley's contract granted him only a
"featuring" credit; it was not until the second season that he was
given "starring" credit, at the urging of producer Robert Justman.[20] Kelley was apprehensive
about Star Trek 's future, telling Roddenberry that the show was
"going to be the biggest hit or the biggest miss God ever made".[5]:146 Kelley portrayed McCoy
throughout the original Star Trek series and voiced the
character in the animated Star Trek.[1]

Kelley,
who in his youth wanted to become a doctor,[21] in part drew upon his
real-life experiences in creating McCoy: a doctor's "matter-of-fact"
delivery of news of Kelley's mother's terminal cancer was the "abrasive
sand" Kelley used in creating McCoy's demeanor.[5]:145 Star Trek writer D. C. Fontana said that while Roddenberry
created the series, Kelley essentially created McCoy; everything done with the
character was done with Kelley's input.[5]:156

"Exquisite
chemistry" among Kelley, William Shatner, and Leonard Nimoy manifested itself in their
performances as McCoy, Captain James T. Kirk and science officer Spock,
respectively.[5]:154 Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, referred to Kelley as her "sassy
gentleman friend";[5]:154 the friendship between
the African-American Nichols
and Southern Kelley
was a real-life demonstration of the message Roddenberry hoped to convey
through Star Trek.[5]:154

For
the 2009 film Star Trek,
writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman saw McCoy as an
"arbiter" in Kirk and Spock's relationship.[22] While Spock represented
"extreme logic, extreme science" and Kirk symbolized "extreme
emotion and intuition", McCoy's role as "a very colorful doctor,
essentially a very humanisticscientist"
represented the "two extremes that often served as the glue that held the
trio together."[22] They chose to reveal McCoy
befriended Kirk first, explaining the "bias" in their friendship and
why he would often be a "little dismissive" of Spock.[22] Urban said the script was
"very faithful" to the original character, including the "great
compassion for humanity and that sense of irascibility" with which Kelley
imbued the character.[23] Urban trained with a dialect
coach to create McCoy's accent.[23] Urban reprised the role in its
2013 sequel Star Trek Into
Darkness.[24]

McCoy
is someone to whom Kirk unburdens himself and is a foil to Spock.[20] He is Kirk's "friend,
personal bartender, confidant, counselor, and priest".[25] Spock and McCoy's bickering
became so popular that Roddenberry wrote in a 1968 memo "we simply didn't
realize ... how much the fans loved the bickering between ourArrowsmith and
our Alien".[26] Urban said McCoy has a
"sense of irascibility with real passion for life and doing the right
thing", and that "Spock's logic and McCoy's moral standing gave Kirk the
benefit of having three brains instead of just one."[27] Jennifer Porter and Darcee
McLaren wrote that McCoy is an "unintentional"[7]example of how "irrational
prejudices and fixations, wishful thinking and emotional reasoning, denial and
repression, and unresolved neurotic disturbances" compromise
"scientific rationality" in Star Trek.[28]

With
regard to the 2009 film, The Guardian called Urban's
performance of McCoy an "unqualified success",[31] and The New York Times called
the character "wild-eyed and funny".[32] Slate.com said Urban came closer than the
other actors to impersonating a character's original depiction.[33]

Twenty
times on the original Star Trek, McCoy declares someone or
something deceased with the line, "He's dead", "He's dead,
Jim", or something similar. The phrase so became a catchphrase of the character that Kelley
joked that the line would appear on his tombstone,[34][35][36] but disliked repeating such
lines[5]:166 and refused to say it
in Star Trek
II: The Wrath of Khan when Spock is near death. Kelley
and James Doohan (Scotty)
agreed to swap their lines, so McCoy warns Kirk against opening the engineering
doors while Scotty says "He's dead already".[5]:249[37]

The
line has entered popular culture as a general metaphor, with uses as diverse as
descriptions of an unresponsive electronic circuit,[38] an example of how to add an
audio file to function as an alert sound in a computer system,[39] and an illustrative quote
regarding how to know if one's opponent has been destroyed in an action hero
game.[40] USC Literature
Professor Henry Jenkins cited
Dr. McCoy's "He's dead, Jim" line as an example of fans actively
participating in the creation of an underground culture in which they derive
pleasure by repeating memorable lines as part of constructing new mythologies
and alternative social communities.[41]Google Chrome uses the phrase as an error
message when Google Chrome either is terminated with the task manager, or
Chrome runs out of memory, and is a common error.[42]
