I first saw Anton Yelchin in the movie Charlie Bartlett. A movie about surving High School, psychiatry, and emotional discontentment. It was a role in which I feel he deserved an Oscar. Above is a clip of one of my favorite scenes from the movie.
Anton Yelchin is currently starring in two huge Summer blockbusters, Star Trek and Terminator Salvation. And yet, no one is talking about this amazing actor.
In Star Trek he pulls off one of the best Russian accents ever as Chekov. His portrayal of one of Star Trek's most beloved characters is admirable and endearing.
His role in Terminator Salvation is, in a word, HUGE. He plays the role of teenage Kyle Reese, the father of John Connor. Anton does an amazing job in this movie. His acting was just perfect.
People should be talking about this young actor. Keep an eye on him. I predict he will do great things.
