Wil Wheaton mini-bio: Wheaton first gained international attention by starring in the Rob Reiner film Stand by Me (1986).

He then returned to Los Angeles, California, afterward and is working on many projects.

Wil's first big break in acting was opposite Bill Cosby in a Jell-O Pudding Pops commercial.
Loves hockey, magic, and juggling.
He said a few lines on Chunky A's (Arsenio Hall's) song "Dope, the Big Lie," which appears on the Chunky A album "Large and in Charge."
He and wife, Anne, have two sons, Nolan and Ryan, from her previous marriage. They live in Los Angeles.

Was once spokesman for NewTek company, after leaving "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987).
Wil is a lifelong fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team, and he is also an avid player of video games, which lead to his voice-over role in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (2004) (VG).
He is a posting member of the internet community Slashdot (slashdot.org). He does interviews on a regular basis and participates in discussion. He also answers private messages.
Played as part of the PokerStars.com team in the 2005 World Series of Poker.
Regained a decent measure of fame after launching his own Web site, WilWheaton.net, which led to a number of voice acting roles and a new career as an author--he has written two memoirs ("Just a Geek" and "Dancing Barefoot") as of 2005.
According to Wheaton's book "Just a Geek," several of his "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987) cast mates, including Jonathan Frakes, nicknamed (and still call) him Teen Idol, while Brent Spiner calls him Miltie.
