| The Pavel Chekov Site welcomes Jonathan Zungre to the fold of Chekov fandom! |
| taking the helm |
| Jonathan Zungre has taken over the helm as our new Pavel Chekov on "Star Trek: Phase II," beginning with the episode "Enemy: Starfleet". Jonathan has embraced the character and is dedicated to portraying this multi-dimensional character with a reverence in his performance that will strike fans as nothing shorter than thundering velvet. His insightful and talented portrayal honors our Russian navigator for who he is, and who we've always known him to be. The first moment with Jonathan's unexpected performance will leave fans breathless. This, folks... is Chekov. The only thing missing is Walter Koenig. And we do miss him! We'd like to thank Mr. Zungre for all his help and support! |
| Jonathan Zungre's Biography Born on January 4, 1982 in Concord, New Hampshire, Jonathan soon traveled to Amsterdam, Holland with his parents on missionary work. When they returned to the United States and took up residence in Pittsburg, PA, 4 year old Jonathan spoke fluent Dutch...which he promptly forgot. Jonathan attended private Christian grammer schools and Pittsburg public high school. After graduating from High School his family moved to New York City to support his younger sister Stephanie's career with the New York City Ballet. He went on to earn a degree from Grove City College and has taken courses at NYU in directing and filmmaking. Following college, Jonathan participated in a missionary trip to Japan, China and Thailand where he taught English and did street ministry in what he describes as "the best years of my life." Jonathan always wanted to be an entertainer and first appeared on stage in 7th grade, later appearing in many high school and college performances. He has appeared in off-off Broadway theatre, commercials and independent films; and is currently a host for RipTen, and internet video game website. As a writer, Jonathan penned a one-act play, "Cut Short", about teen suicide, which appeared in the Riant Theater Strawberry One Act Festival in 2007; and he writes for the comedy website irony.com as well as blogging for several game sites. A understated man with a quiet sense of right and boundless dedication, Jonathan is a steadying presence; and his boundless sense of fun and quick sense of humor makes him a perfect choice to play our favorite navigator. |
