Anton was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia in 1989 and was Viktor and Irina's only child. He was just six months old when his parents, former professional pairs figure skaters who qualified for the 1972 Olympics, moved the family to America as refugees.

The Star Trek star was killed on June 19 in a freak car accident outside his home in Los Angeles. In the wake of his death, many of his former co-stars and friends shared touching messages of love and condolences.
