So sad. He was awesome as Chekov in Star Trek... loved the scene where he ran to the transporter room yelling that he could do this.... not fair at all.....

[Valkyrie]

So tragic.  I thought he was great as Chekov, too.

I've had a crush on him for years

 

RIP Anton Yelchin

 

I remember the first movie I saw of Anton, he was talented even back then:

Yeah, I had a crush on him from when he did Alpha Dog back when he was a kid. Man, this sucks. I honestly thought he was set to become one of the leading character actors of his generation.

Sad news. He was a nice young man too. I enjoyed all of his work in movies.

I heard this on the news earlier and was deeply saddened.  I loved his portrayal of Chekov in the new Star Trek franchise and was looking forward to seeing more of him.  RIP, Anton.

God, I had such a crush on him when I first saw him on Star Trek, it was the accent.

 

My condolences to his friends and family.

I liked him in Star trek, what a tragic way to die :-(

Bah

[Riley Jericho]

Like everyone has said, this is really awful! 

 

Anton was the perfect Chekov, and his acting skill as good as it got. It's already been said, but even that short scene of him charging to the transporter room to take the controls to save Kirk and Sulu as they dropped out of the sky, was unforgettable.

 

So I'm sad for such a loss, and more so for his family for what must feel like such a tragic waste of a truly remarkable guy.

I heard about this. Sad news indeed. So talented and handsome. How terrible.
