Ask Wil Wheaton Anything

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-i-do-not-look-like-him dept.

Wil Wheaton [IMDB] is our latest interview victim. Best known here as Wesley Crusher on TNG, Wil has a history doing movies both good (Stand by Me) and, uh, otherwise (see his FAQ). His movie "The Good Things" just won the grand prize at the 27th Festival of American Cinema at Deuville. His currrent project is "Jane White Is Sick & Twisted". Post your questions for him here, one per post, and we'll forward a few of the highest rated ones to Wil.

  1. Do you feel inadequate? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    Do you feel a need to proclaim your tawdry little webshite in every story, regardless of your relevance or comprehension of the subject?

    Adequacy.com.
    For those who feel inadequate.

  2. A character done wrong? by screwballicus · · Score: 0, Troll
    Do you feel your character was belittled by TNG's writers? In the film The Princess Bride, Cary Elwes reads the line "You see, no one would surrender to the Dread Pirate Wesley". Do you feel that no one would surrender the Dread Pirate Ensign Wesley Crusher? Is this problem specifically related to the name Wesley? Might this problem have been dealt with by a better surname? Ensign Wesley Ball-Crusher? Or maybe just Ensign Ball-Crusher, for that matter. What techniques, were you able to relive your tenure as Ensign Ball-Crusher, would you use to deal with the problem of your character's unpopularity. I suggest the following:

    1) Being an attractive young woman

    2) In a spandex jumpsuit

    Number 2, you have covered already. Number 1 would be a more difficult solution. Will you, at any point in the future, be an attractive young woman? Have you, in your acting career, ever been a young woman? Can I have a date? Thank you.

  3. News for nerds? by geekoid · · Score: 0, Troll

    Trying not to sound trlish, but why on earth is this news for nerds?
    Just because he was in a star-trek series? Maybe if he was about to be in a new star-trek series. and thats a big maybe.
    this guy is just an actor, he hasn't done anything nerdworthy(c).
