In “Star Trek,” Ensign Chekov was the sole Communist-bloc member of the spaceship Enterprise bridge staff. His friendly, supportive presence showed how the rival nations (in the far-off future in which the show was set) were capable of working together.

RIP Walter Koenig 💔😢🖖

Everyone knows Walter as Chekov ("You know grieving was a Russian inwention!"), but I will never forget his magnificent bastard energy playing Bester of the Psi Corps in Babylon 5. (again, the celebrities seem to be passing in clumps)

Very sad to lose this old friend and Star Trek icon.
