What You Might Know Him From:
- His breakthrough performance opposite Anthony Hopkins in Hearts in Atlantis- Playing a kid in over his head in Alpha Dog
Why Anton Yelchin is One to Watch:
You've seen his face, watched his films, but you might not know his name. That should change after his big 2009 movies hit theaters. Yelchin has tackled tough roles in independent films over the past 10 years, but taking on the role of a younger Pavel Chekov in JJ Abrams' reboot of the Star Trek film franchise is a huge leap for the Russian-born actor. Add to that handling the part of Kyle Reese, an impressive, key figure in the Terminator mythology, and Yelchin's really shouldering a huge load. But if all works out as it should, starring in a new Star Trek movie and Terminator Salvation should propel Yelchin into a whole new level of recognition from his peers and by audiences.
