[rec.arts.startrek.info] Wesley Leaving

) (11/06/90)

I was watching Arsenio Hall tonight, and Will Wheaton was on...

So.. clear up one or two things about him right quick..

1) He's not Gay... he's been envolved with a girl since the
  beginning of the summer.. they didn't show her on camera,
  but she was back stage, and Arsenio was suitably impressed
  by her.

2) Wheaton didn't seem at all like a geek, nerd, or twit..  guess
  that means it's a bad character, and not a bad actor.. (he seemed
  like almost every 18 year old I've ever met.. while that might
  not be "normal"..  it is 18     :)


<note:  #3 has a spoiler in it>

3) He said that he went to the producers to say "I've got some
  opportunities to explore my movie career".. they said "yeah,
  you've got a bright future.. go for it, but we might want you
  to come back and visit once in a while"..  ie. Wesley IS going
  to be accepted to Star Fleet academy this year.. he IS leaving
  the show.. but might make one or two guest shots in the future.
