Actor Born: July 29, 1972 in Burbank, CA Biography:"Wil Wheaton" was eight years old when he got his first showbiz break, appearing with "Bill Cosby" in a Jell-O pudding commercial. The following year (1982), Wheaton was prominently featured in the voiceover cast of the animated "The Secret of NIMH". During this same period, he made his Los Angeles stage debut in a Company of Angels Theatre production of All My Sons. His starmaking turn was as Gordie Lachance, the "Stephen King" alter-ego, in the 1986 feature "Stand By Me" (1986). He then went on to play the title role in the 1987 Disney TV-movie "Young Harry Houdini". Wheaton gained worldwide fame (and a worldwide website) as ensign Wesley Crusher in the weekly TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation, a role he played from 1987 to 1990. Since leaving STNG, Wheaton has made a reasonably smooth transition to adult roles in movies such as Flubber. Wil Wheaton is the brother of actress "Amy Wheaton". ~... Full Biography
