ANTON YELCHIN

The Star Trek films such as Star Trek, Star Trek Beyond, and Star Trek Into Darkness made Anton Yelchin popular with his portrayal of Pavel Chekov. The actor was also seen in several television shows and films. His excellent performance in Steven Spielberg’s miniseries Taken has helped him advance his career. After that, he starred in movies like Fright Night, Hearts in Atlantis, Alpha Dog, Like Crazy, Green Room, and Trollhunters.

Sadly, when the actor failed to arrive at a rehearsal, his friend checked up on him and found him pinned against a brick pillar gate post and his Jeep Grand Cherokee. The freak accident happened when his Jeep rolled back down his driveway while he was checking the mail. He was found dead on arrival on June 19, 2016. He was only 27 years old. With the help of their lawyer, the actor’s mother filed a lawsuit against the car manufacturer.
