Thanks for bringing those over. Just watched the second one, will watch the first one later. Watching it today, the Michael Jackson reference at the start was a bit off. Never particularly thought of Chekov as being one of the first positive Russian characters, even with the cold war stereotype accent.

Anton talking about his Terminator toys.

Definitely. His acting credits go back to 2000 with a guest spot on ER. He was on the series Huff - apparently it ran between 2004-6, but I've never heard of it.

oh, his parents are figure skaters who now coach and choreograph!

Me neither. He was in a Criminal Minds -
Sex, Birth, Death (2006) as Nathan Harris.
Quote:
When Dr. Spencer Reid is approached in Washington, D.C. by high-school boy Nathan Harris, who attends his lectures out of fascination, he realizes only after the kid leaves he might be a serial killer, which seems to check out after having the details he mentioned verified, the victims being prostitutes marked in the flesh by a sick mind who is tortured and wants to get caught. However there seems to be another killer at work...

The show was really good and I love Anton since then. It only had two seasons and I was so sad when it got cancelled.

So you're a long time fan. What was his character like in Huff?

He played Byrd, the main character's son. At first he was a typical teenager. But then he starts misbehaving and doing some crazy stuff. Mostly because of his parents fights and decision to split up.
Anton was really good in it, I still remember this very dramatic scene in the last episode when his character blows up because he can't take it anymore.

Sounds very un-Chekov like. Seems he's a very versatile actor.

Thanks for the background info.

Me too. It's terrrible to be watching them in a different role, and all you can think of is that it's just the character you know again being called a different namd.

Hope that made sense.
