Jimmy Diggs (born 2 September 1955; age 68) is a freelance writer of several episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and one episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Diggs is a veteran of the Vietnam War and served aboard one of the ships that helped in the evacuation of Saigon. The storyline for "Elogium", the first story he pitched to Star Trek, was based on his experiences aboard that ship which was actually followed by a school of fish.
Diggs also worked as a firefighter, an airline steward, a technician in the Navy, and a security guard and background actor on Renegade.
Early in his life he had two wishes: either to work as ground controller for NASA or start a career as science fiction writer. In 1993, NASA didn't hire new personnel, and so he began learning how to write. His first contact with show business was as a security guard on the set of Renegade. He was invited by the show's producer Nicholas Corea to pitch a story, as "... a favor from one Vietnam vet to another (so Corea later admitted to Diggs) until the producer discovered that he liked Diggs's idea." (Rip Rense: "Trekking: Jimmy Diggs". In: emmy Magazine.) When the show was canceled later, producer Corea referred him to Paramount Pictures and Rick Berman.
