Yuri is a minor character in the film and novel Final Destination 3. He is Phoenix Tanning's receptionist and serves Ashley Freund and Ashlyn Halperin.
Biography
Yuri's wife keeps bugging him during his shift. He chose to use his phone instead of the building's phone, because it has Caller ID and his boss doesn't allow him to take personal phone calls. Yuri goes outside to get some reception. He uses a lotion tube to prevent the door from closing. Then Ashlyn locks the front entrance. When Yuri hears both girls screaming, he immediately rushes to check Ashley and Ashlyn, but he's locked outside. With no one to help them, Ashley and Ashlyn burn alive in the tanning beds.
Trivia
- In the novel and original script, Yuri's full name is revealed to be Yuri Yershov.
- In the novel, Yuri's wife is called Tanya and thinks Yuri is going to go off with another woman "as soon as she's got her back turned."
