Wil Wheaton’s acting career looked promised when he starred in the iconic coming of age movie, Stand By Me, but then came Star Trek the Next Generation and he became the most hated actor in sci-fi for the smarmy and squeaky-clean character, Wesley Crusher, that he interpreted. The hatred went to such extremes that usergroups were set up entitled alt.ensign.wesley.die.die.die.

Poor guy.

The fan hatred discouraged him from attending the Trekkie conventions but he found a new lease of life with the internet and has become something of a celebrity among geeks, talking about his passion for gaming and running discussion boards to chat about various topics and has been geek-in-residence for various online magazines.

Wil Wheaton’s Twitter feed shows that he’s just an ordinary guy who likes to chat on the net, swear at his favourite ice hockey team and occasionally do a bit of acting. Wesley Crusher may have been one of the most irritating characters to ever appear on television but Wil Wheaton is really ok.
