Yelchin's first major starring role was in 1998's 'Apt Pupil', which adapted Stephen King's novel and flopped at the box office, grossing just $9.2 million on a $13 million budget.
Despite the early setback, Yelchin went on to star in acclaimed films like 'Charlie Bartlett', 'Like Crazy', and the rebooted 'Star Trek' franchise, cementing his status as a rising talent in Hollywood before his tragic death in 2016 at age 27.
