Richard William (Wil) Wheaton III (born July 29, 1972) is a former child actor, now a writer and father. He is best known for his portrayals of Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Gordie LaChance in Stand By Me.

Although his character (and by extension Wil himself) was loudly hated by a small but vocal group of Trekkies during the TNG's first run, Wil has emerged as a vocal member of the geek community and runs his own weblog web site, Wil Wheaton Dot Net.

He is a frequent poster at Slashdot and Fark, and is heavily involved with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, promoting free speech and privacy issues.
