Died: June 19, 2016 (27)

Anton Yelchin was an American actor, known for playing Bobby in Hearts in Atlantis (2001), Chekov in the Star Trek (2009) reboot, Charlie Brewster in the Fright Night (2011) remake, and Jacob in Like Crazy (2011).

Hi, you two.

You are right, I've added the age-criteria: <50.

I've also added a few names. So far: Bruce Lee, Heather O'Rourke, Heath Ledger, River Phoenix.

Give me some time to check out the others - and maybe Monroe, too.

@TheTigerInMe1980 ,

I would consider what @ACT_1 posted as inspiration, albeit a rather lengthy list of lists for consideration

cjwhite-31645, davidamponsah and emilhagberg-84632 are not poll authors and probably did not consider their lists as potential polls. If you use any information from their lists, I recommend that you credit them. Unfortunately, there is no easy way contact these IMDb users.

After careful consideration, I have decided to not follow up on this, my own suggestion anymore.

Reason: I see that both polls that have been created thusfar, brought in a mere 500 votes, where I would've guessed 5000+ easily.

In a nutshell, I consider the trouble to create, maintain and manage a list, to be not worth it. I therefore leave this list up for scrabs - whoever wants to take it, take it. I'll leave it online until sunday, then I'll remove it from my account.
