Good actor, he made up that accent.

it was pretty funny too, he definitely made that character his own with that accent especially since he said he based a lot of it off his own father

 

[unassuming]

He was cast as Chekov because he resembled Davey Jones of the Monkees to draw in the younger audience to watch Star Trek.

Chekov was so lovable, he'll be missed. I hope he found his nuclear wessel.

Modern medicine extends lifespans. When Iron Chef Rokusaburo Michiba retired from Iron Chef Japan, I thought he was in poor health. He's older than The Great Shat by two months and going strong.

Good actor, he made up that accent.

He just imitated his dad, who had troubling with "V" pronunciations. His parents were Russian Jews.

He lived a lot longer than the Chekov in the reboots. That poor guy didn't make it to 30. Got crushed by his own car.
