Saw that this this morning. I didn't really know the guy (I was relieved that real Checkov wasn't dead, despite him being in his 70s) but it's sad that he died. A real shame that he passed before Beyond released, especially because I think it's posed to be the first good film of the new Star Trek Trilogy. I'm sure he also would've loved to see the new 2017 TV Show. I was personally distraught at the death of Leonard Nimoy last year.
