Anton Yelchin was 27.
Anton Yelchin, a charismatic and rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the new “Star Trek” films, has died at the age of 27. He was killed in a fatal traffic collision early Sunday morning, his publicist, Jennifer Allen confirmed. Yelchin started small with roles in indie films and various television shows, before breaking out in films like the crime thriller “Alpha Dog” and the teenage comedy “Charlie Bartlett.” His biggest role to date has been in the rebooted “Star Trek” films — the third of which, “Star Trek Beyond” comes out in July.
Anton Yelchin was an only child who died on Father’s Day. His father lost his only son on fucking Father’s Day. Fuck. Go hug someone and tell them you love them, please.
UPDATE: He was found pinned between his own car and brick mailbox. What the hell.
