Lucyfish Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 There's no place for film discussion, so I'll put this here. 27 year old actor Anton Yelchin died in a car accident today. He was best known for his roll as Pavel Chekov in J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek. Anybody who has seen the movie Charlie Bartlett knows that this guy was an absolute superstar. He was an amazing talent an a heart of gold, and it's a tragedy that he never really got the incredible fame he deserved. He was one of my favorite young actors, and I really can't believe he's gone.

Crazy Lee Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Well besides Checkov, I remember seeing him in a small indie movie called Odd Thomas, based on the Dean Koontz novel series. He played the lead and did a pretty good job for a movie that was so-so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyRadarEars Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This makes me sad, because he was so cool :< Also its kind of scary that Walter Koenig has now lived long enough to see the new Chekov die. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazerMaster5 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Just a little PSA: Don't leave your car running in neutral without the parking brake engaged when you exit the vehicle. Poor bastard got pinned between his Grand Cherokee and his front gate. What a shitty way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Lee Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I've been reading about this in the past couple days. Seems the Grand Cherokee that Anton owned had a serious flaw... it sometimes wouldn't stay in park, and would shift to neutral on it's own, causing it to roll if it wasn't on a flat surface. Hmm. Doesn't stay in park.... goes into neutral.....rolls..... Welp I smell a lawsuit. It always seems to take death in order for a car company to admit they screwed up with their vehicles.http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/anton-yelchin-person-killed-recalled-jeep-model-article-1.2682106 http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/21/business/jeep-that-crushed-anton-yelchin-had-been-recalled.html?_r=0 http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/anton-yelchin-killed-jeep-included-rollaway-recall/story?id=39991253 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
