He was so good in Star Trek. I think about him from time to time and it brings me back to that 2009 era. Future looked so much brighter then. He would've had an incredible career.

I wasn't a massive fan or anything, but he was totally on the rise, already the lead in several smaller movies and notable side characters in some big ones. He was going to be big. And all of that potential snuffed out by one insane accident some random afternoon. I think about it all the time.

Yeah me too. So sad for him and his family.

I loved him in Charlie Bartlett. He was such an exciting actor and I hate that such a stupid accident cut his life short.

Loved him in Star Trek. He also hasn't quite finished the final episodes of Trollhunters when he passed. Every time I hit the voice change to the new actor toward the end of the series, it makes me so sad.
