Pavel Chekov – Walter Koenig

Get this – Koenig was only one of two actors who auditioned for the role of Pavel Chekov! Moreover, he was actually chosen almost immediately because he resembles the British actor/musician Davy Jones of the Monkees. This resemblance was crucial to the show’s creators as they wanted to appeal to a younger audience, and well, it worked. Since then, Koenig’s career in film, stage, and TV roles blossomed and spans over 50 years.
