The actor Anton Yelchin passed away at just 27 years old. He played Chekov in the Star Trek reboot. He will find his place in the MMO StarTrek Online.
A very sad story. The young actor Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Odd Thomas) didn’t show up for an audition, his buddies missed him, but by then he was already dead. Apparently, he was crushed by his own car in his steep driveway when it rolled back and pinned him against a security fence.
They asked the lead designer of Star Trek Online, Al Rivera, if they would honor Yelchin in the game. He clearly said: “Yes.” In Star Trek Online, some crew members and actors from Star Trek are commemorated. Recently, Leonard Nimoy, who played Spock, was honored.
