Tonight on CSI the murder suspect might look familiar. Two decasdes ago Wil Wheaton played Gordie on Stand By Me! For the whole story see here.

    Ironic, since there was a large contingent of Star Trek fans who would have loved to see him as a murder victim back in the Next Generation days!

    Actually, rumor has it that he's turned into quite a creditable writer.



    Further information, this deponent knoweth not.

    I'll be checking out CSI tonight, so I'll see if Mr. Wil is just a little less annoying than he was on ST/TNG. :D At least he had a cool mom!

    It may be more due to the way Wesley Crusher has been scripted in ST-TNG and his attitude as a teenager at the time than anything else, just like he said. I've always like his portrayal of Gordie in Stand By Me, a perfect foil for River Phoenix's take on Chris Chambers.

    Well Wheaton was unrecognizable with the mop of hair he had. The part was very small as well.
  • BevVincentBevVincent
    Typecast, I tell you. The poor actor always plays the same old thing!



    Seriously, it was a small part, but interesting. His voice is much deeper than before. And dig the hair.

    I think he needed a bigger part. He did make me laugh, though. Stand by Me was a great fick. Wheaton,Feldman, Sutherland,and Phoenix give GREAT performances. -CQ

    sunny, :), don't be so serious. If you had a teenage son like Wesley Crusher he would have driven you insane. :D I totally love Stand by Me and his role in it. Unfortunately Mr. FurnaceFellow had to visit last night and I missed his performance on CSI. I'll have to watch for it on re-run.
