Anton Yelchin: Biography

A Russian immigrant who came to the United States with his figure-skater parents when he was merely six months old, Anton Yelchin has found success in his new land since making his acting debut at the age of nine in A Man Is Mostly Water (1999).

Acquiring an impressive resumé by the ripe old age of ten, Yelchin appeared in no less than three major motion pictures in 2001 alone, including 15 Minutes, Along Came a Spider, and Hearts in Atlantis opposite Anthony Hopkins. ~ Jason Buchanan
