Walter Koenig Walter Koenig: "Chekov" of Star Trek
Walter Koenig Originally hired by Gene Roddenberry for his uncanny resemblance to Davy Jones of the Monkees, Walter Koeing made Chekov the best loved Russian of the Cold War. Koeing's ready wit and wide eyed innocence gave Pavel Chekov his charm, a marked contrast to the sinister Bester, the treacherous, psi-cop he portrays on Babylon 5. He is an accomplished author and playwrite and a favorite of fans for over thirty years. Walter Koenig {Biography/Filmography}
