I thought long and hard and the only Anton character I could remember from a movie I saw was Anton Inbedkov from Woody Allen’s “Love and Death” (1975), played by Harold Gould.
There’s also Anton Yelchin, a Russian-born actor best known for his role as Hank Azria’s son on “Huff.” This year, he appeared in “Alpha Dog,” “Fierce People,” and “Charlie Bartlett.” Next up: Chekov in JJ Abrams’s “Star Trek.”
