Anton
Yelchin RIPD
Due
to all my personal issues and the terrorists attacks, I had no idea
he passed away. I only heard about it on a Doug Loves Movies Podcast
recently. So, I jumped on my phone and saw it on Google. It was a
total shock. He played Pavel Chekov in the JJ Abrams Star Trek
movies. I had literally just watched the 2009 Star Trek movie and
his character came to my mind because he was better written in the
reboot than the one on the main show. Even though the timeline is
changed, I wasn't sure his character fit in with him being an ensign.
I always felt he should have been a first year cadet. However, Kirk
joined Star Fleet at an older age than Kirk Prime.
His
death was a total strange accident. He was killed by his own car.
Despite being parked, the car rolled over and pinned him. That is
strange, but there was a recall on the car.
From
The Hollywood Report, ((The
accident happened around 1:10 a.m. at Yelchin's home in Studio City,
LAPD spokeswoman Jenny Houser told The
Hollywood Reporter.
"It appears he momentarily exited his car and it rolled
backward, causing trauma that led to his death," said Houser.
))
It
is strange that the old actor (Walter Koenig ) outlived this kid.
And, it gets even more sad when you realize Koenig outlived his own
son. His son committed
suicide.
From
EW.com, ((Koenig,
79, told the Hollywood
Reporter
that although he only met Yelchin once, the young man made an
impression on him.
“We
spoke on a sound stage for about two hours,” Koenig said in a
statement. “His reputation as an artist preceded him, however. I
knew I was in the presence of a gifted performer.”))
I
had very little interest in seeing Star Trek Beyond, but I may see it
now.

Despite being a very young actor and a truly rising star, Anton Yelchin was still a very professional, reliable and friendly star that was always ready for some good jokes and fun. Known for playing Chekov in the new Star Trek movies, Anton Yelchin was already a fan favorite and he managed to impress the people around him unlike never before. He managed to bring an entirely new, interesting and fun take on the coveted character and many people loved him quite a bit thanks to his charisma.
