Chekov from the JJ Star Trek. My Goodness. this has not been a good year. 

How awful. I know a lot of people enjoyed his Chekhov and he was their favorite part of the films. I'm so sorry for his friends and family. 

A horrible tragedy and such a horrible way to die, judging by the details. He's been in everything under the sun since he was a small child, and he grew into a beautiful man and an immense talent. His parents were Olympic-class athletes in Russia, I believe, who were denied the honor due to being Jews.

 

I still have a screener copy of his latest, Jeremy Saulnier's Green Room. I need to watch it.

OMG how horrible

 

That IS a horrible way to die.  My condolences to his loved ones.

I still can't believe it, so young too

How tragic and oh so avoidable.  He was a good actor, and his Chekov accent was priceless.  So sad.

Such an awful tragedy.  A professor of mine long ago lost his son this way.  Car in neutral as he's packing his things for spring break and the car rolled over him.  

 

I hope it was quick because, if you have to go, it has to be awful being alone.  RIP

So sad. He was a very talented young actor. So much of life ahead of him. God, comfort his loved ones, friends and family...

He was very talented, I remember him best in Alpha Dog and Like Crazy. Very effecting actor, who was capable of very sensitive performances.

apparently his truck was being recalled, this makes it even more tragic
