I Miss Anton!

Every year, I'd check in to see if he was okay. I knew of his parents before he was born, as I was a huge figure skater buff during the Cold War in the early 80s and when I discovered this young pup, I was delighted.

He was the cutest kid, ever. All that curly hair and dimpled smile. I watched him grow up on the small and big screen, and every once in a while, checked on him to see if he'd had a girlfriend, if he graduated, if he was in a new movie or married.

You watch these kids grow up and you think, "we'll see him again...he'll be okay." So when I found out he died, it hit me the hardest. He was the next generation of kids to lead us to new heights of imagination...our dream of what could be and now, he's gone.

I'll miss ya, young Anton. You're a great kid (and yes, you would've always been a kid, to me).

Rest in grace, my sweet boy!

Thank you for sharing that, Chucky.

Anton is my favorite actor/artist on the planet.

I have every movie he's made that is available for purchase. I looked forward to watching his future work, especially portraying his first antagonist in Mr. Mercedes.

The world is a much darker place now.

Anton's the best. To me he always will be.

it seems if he kept living he would have lost his hair. He was getting thin on top of his hair

I'm with you. This hit me like a hammer. I just loved all he did and he was so perfect in Star Trek. This should never have happened. I still can not believe it. Unreal! Horrible! God bless him, rest in peace Anton.

I will always miss Anton too! He was so damn good! An exceptional actor! He wasn't just spouting lines; he became his characters. I loved every performance of his that I ever saw. Just still can't believe he's gone! His death has been so hard for me. Just wish I could have seen him get older and perform in more movies. R.I.P.

I've been absolutely devastated. This should not have happened and Chrysler is to blame! It's selfish but I was really looking forward to seeing where his skill would take him. He seemed like a hell of a guy to know. May your beautiful soul go where none has gone before. Rest peaefully, dear Anton.
