Walter Koenig 1936-2026

Actor and screenwriter Walter Koenig, known for playing Ensign Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series and six subsequent Star Trek movies, died yesterday of natural causes at age 90, at his home in the North Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles.  His daughter Danielle and a niece were with him.

Walter Marvin Koenig was born in Chicago, Illinois to businessman Isadore Koenig and the former Sarah Strauss.  Both were Russian Jewish immigrants and lived in Lithuania before they left the Soviet Union.  During Walter's childhood, the family moved to Manhattan in New York City.  Koenig attended Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa and later received a BA degree from UCLA.  He also attended the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre.

Koenig portrayed a Marine Corps Sergeant on the NBC show The Lieutenant and appeared in an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour before auditioning for the role of Ensign Chekov.  He was chosen for the role due to his resemblance to actor/singer Davy Jones of the Monkees, not to an alleged article in Pravda complaining about the lack of Russian characters in Star Trek.  Producer Gene Roddenberry asked him to "ham up" his Russian accent, which resulted in Chekov substituting a "w" for a "v" in words such as "wodka" and "wessel".

Before the start of the Star Trek movies, Koenig found some work as a writer.  He appeared on the sci-fi show Babylon 5 as the Psi Cop Alfred Bester.  He appeared as a guest star in various TV shows and wrote several films, one-act plays, and TV episodes.  He also taught acting and directing at UCLA.

Koenig married actress Judy Levitt in 1965.  He was predeceased by her in 2022 and by their son Andrew, who committed suicide in 2010.  He is survived by his daughter Danielle.
