AI Summary

Walter Koenig, the original Chekov from “Star Trek,” died at age 90. In addition to his television work, he appeared in the 1989 science‑fiction film “Mooncrash,” directed by Robert Dyke. The movie cast Koenig as an astronaut opposite “Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell, who plays his counterpart. The pairing of a sci‑fi icon with a horror icon created a largely forgotten relic of late‑80s genre filmmaking.
