June 19th, 2016 – While waiting for a table for a Father’s Day dinner.
Bern1960: So Cogerson what did you get for Father’s Day?
Cogerson: Let’s see….Wife of Cogerson got me From Russia With Love and Northwest Passage…which means I now own all of dad’s Top 5 movies of all-time…..and the kids got me a Odd Thomas Blu-ray and a Odd Thomas book…..because that has become one of my favorite movies and I want to read the book that the movie is based on.
Scotty Son #2: It is a shame about him dying.
Cogerson: Who died?
Scotty Son #2: Anton Yelchin…the guy that played Odd Thomas….and Chekov on Star Trek.
Cogerson: Get the hell out of here….what are you talking about?
Bern1960: Chekov died?
Scotty Son #2: Not the old guy that played Chekov but the young guy who played him in the movies. He died in some crazy car accident today.
Cogerson: Hey Wife of Cogerson….can I see your iPhone?
And that is how I found out that Anton Yelchin had passed away. I have been following his career ever since I enjoyed his performance opposite Anthony Hopkins in 2001’s Hearts in Atlantis. Even though he was only 27 years old his movie career was already closing in on 20 years. As he got older he was doing a nice balance of appearing in blockbuster movies (Star Trek, Terminator: Salvation) and quirky interesting movies (Odd Thomas, Green Room, Alpha Dog). When a movie star’s death bothers me…I tend to do a UMR page on their career….as it tends to make me feel better. Well gotta say the death of this young man is bothering me.

Wikipedia – “Anton Yelchin was an American film and television actor. He began performing in the late 1990s, appearing in several television roles and the Hollywood films Along Came a Spider and Hearts in Atlantis (both 2001). His role as Jacob Clarke in the Steven Spielberg miniseries Taken was significant in furthering his career as a child actor.[1] He later appeared on the television series Huff and starred in the films Terminator Salvation (2009), Charlie Bartlett (2007), Fright Night (2011), Like Crazy (2011) and Only Lovers Left Alive (2013). Yelchin was best known for portraying Pavel Chekov in the Star Trek reboot series, appearing in Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013), and will appear posthumously in Star Trek Beyond (2016).”
Star Trek Beyond gives Anton a nice tribute at the end.
Hey Stein…..yep they give a little love to Nimoy and Anton during the end credits.
I think his part in the new movie is the biggest yet in the series. So sad. I teared up during the end credits.
Glad that Anton Yelchin is going out with a bang. I have head saying for the end credits is a must. It will be a bittersweet goodbye to Anton and Leonard.
Just watched Odd Thomas based on your comments here. It indeed was a nice surprise especially for a movie I had not heard of before. Knowing of his recent passing parts of the movie were somewhat eerie. He played Odd very well. Thanks for the recommendation. RIP Anton.
Hey Lloyd….very glad to hear you say that. I love that movie….though it will be bittersweet the next time I watch it. I just watched Anton’s Rudderless last night….he gives another outstanding performance in that one. Thanks for sharing your mini-review.
Still stunned about his death. Nice tribute I was unaware that his career was so long and so productive.
Me too….I just watched his Rudderless last night….he is very good in that movie….so very sad.
Walter Koenig has now released a statement about the death of his successor as Chekov. Of course, he knows what it is like to outlive your child.
I saw that. Thanks for sharing that information.
