Man, I just saw an old episode of "Six Feet Under" on HBO about two weeks ago, where the episode began with a guy getting killed by having his own car roll over him. Who played that "corpse" on that episode.....

Chris Pine, the new Star Trek movies Captain Kirk!

Are we going to have a re-boot version of "Mr. Kyle" or "Mr. Leslie" at the helm now?

I can't comprehend this tragedy either. "No sign of foul play"?

There isn't Sunday mail delivery in California, is there?

Why was he near his mailbox?

Very sad. frown He did a fantastic job of inhabiting the "Chekov" character. I recently saw him in the William H. Macy-directed "Rudderless" (2004) sharing the lead with Billy Crudup and he was great in that.

Sad news. R.I.P.

I think I preferred his acting in 'Terminator: Salvation' to his Chekov portrayal though.

I first remember watching him in W.G. Snuffy Walden scored Showtime show Huff, as "Bird" the son of Hank Azaria's main character. He was just awesome.



Very sad and tragic.

He was a good actor, and I also enjoyed how willing he was to take chances on goofy genre stuff like Odd Thomas and Burying the Ex while also getting himself into more serious and prestigious projects.

Apparently this happened on Saturday evening, he wasn't found until 1 am Sunday.

I also remember him foremost from Huff, which was a great show and he was great in it. Also remember him from Hearts in Atlantis, he was great in that as well, still a very young kid. He was perfectly cast as Chekov due to his Russian background. This is so sad news, just isn't right. He had such a great career and life ahead of him.

I hate the new Star Trek movies, but not because of him. He was a fine Chekov, and a promising young actor with a seemingly bright future all around. It's a damn shame he's gone, especially so young.

RIP.

And the Fright Night remake, (which I loved) and I hear he was good in Green Room.

Very sorry to hear of his passing.

This is a real shame. For such a young guy, he amassed a large body of work, primarily because he started in the business at age 11. One of his earliest feature film roles was at age 12, as a "boy in burning building" in Robert DeNiro's thriller 15 MINUTES.

In 2001's HEARTS IN ATLANTIS, a widowed mother (Hope Davis) and her son (Anton Yelchin) change when a mysterious stranger (Anthony Hopkins) enters their lives. Certain night scenes, which normally would have been shot on location, were instead shot on a set due to the restrictions that Yelchin's age imposed on his participation in night shooting.

Director Scott Hicks said that one of the hardest things of all was to get Yelchin to laugh in one particular scene. Yelchin was raised in an atmosphere where laughing with an open mouth was impolite, so it was not natural for him to do so, even when, during his close-up of the shot, Anthony Hopkins barked like a dog. Anton was not enjoined from grinning, so when, in an "off-camera" moment, the camera caught him grinning after Scott had said "cut," the filmmakers liked the effect and used it in the film.

Seventeen minutes of Mychael Danna's score appeared on the Decca soundtrack CD, along with 8 pop songs.

2005's FIERCE PEOPLE kicked around film festivals for a year, then was released overseas both theatrically and on video, before making its American theatrical debut in 2007. The film presents modern-day life as an anthropological study. In it, a New York boy moves to New Jersey, where he makes a study of a Garden State Tribe. The kid at the center of the story is "Finn Earl" (Anton Yelchin). His drug-addicted mother, "Liz" (Diane Lane), is functioning as a single mother, because Finn's anthropologist father, whom he has never met, lives in South America. Griffin Dunne directed the film. The score by Nick Laird-Clowes has not had a release.

ALPHA DOG is a crime drama based on the life of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be on the FBI's most wanted list. The film transpires in the late 1990s and focuses on drug dealer "Johnny Truelove" (Emile Hirsch) and his posse, which includes jokester "Frankie Ballenbacher" (Justin Timberlake) and gofer "Elvis Schmidt" (Shaun Hatosy). When Johnny has a falling-out with one of his customers, "Jake Mazursky" (Ben Foster), who owes him money, all hell breaks loose. The escalating conflict results in a prisoner being taken--Jake's naive younger brother, "Zack" (Anton Yelchin).

The film begins with actual home video of some of the cast members when they were children. Anton Yelchin is the last child shown. Nick Cassavetes directed the 2007 film. Only 6 minutes of Aaron Zigman's score appeared on the hour-long Milan CD.

Anton Yelchin had his first lead role, playing the title character in 2008's CHARLIE BARTLETT. Bartlett is a rich kid who becomes the self-appointed psychiatrist to the student body of his new high school. Hope Davis again played Yelchin's mother, as she had in HEARTS IN ATLANTIS. The film also co-starred Kat Dennings (TV's "Two Broke Girls") and Robert Downey, Jr. John Poll directed the comedy-drama. Lakeshore Records released the soundtrack CD, which along with Christophe Beck's score included songs and dialogue.
