Wil Wheaton

Wil Wheaton is a regular on Fark, and posts under the cryptic handle. We love him, we do.

Wil's best known for playing the main character, Gordie Lachance in the 1986 film Stand by Me, and for playing Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unfortunately the writers largely had no idea what to do with his character, so they gave him shitty lines. A large chunk of Trek fandom thus really started to hate Wesley, and unfortunately a lot of that hate got transferred to Wil.

Wil's doing pretty well for himself these days. He's a published author and has done guest spots on shows like CSI: Crime Scene Investigations, Numb3rs and Criminal Minds. He also does a fair bit of work in the voice acting circuit.

Wil's so awesome, Fark gave him his own tag:
