Early life

Wheaton was born July 29, 1972, in Burbank, California, to Debra "Debbie" Nordean (née O'Connor), an actress, and Richard William Wheaton Jr., a medical specialist.¹²³ He has a brother, Jeremy, and a sister, Amy,⁴ both of whom appeared uncredited in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "When the Bough Breaks".⁵ Amy appeared alongside Wil in the 1987 film The Curse.⁶

As an adult, Wheaton described his father as being emotionally abusive to him as a child and his mother as being an enabler of that abuse. He also stated that his parents forced him to become an actor; he is currently estranged from them.⁷⁸

Acting career

Early work and Stand By Me

Wheaton made his acting debut in the television film A Long Way Home (1981), which starred Timothy Hutton.⁹ He voiced the character of Martin in the animated film The Secret of NIMH (1982), the film adaptation of Robert C. O'Brien's book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH (1971).¹⁰ Wheaton also appeared in Hambone and Hillie (1983), The Buddy System (1984) (opposite Richard Dreyfuss and Susan Sarandon), and The Last Starfighter.¹¹ He had a few lines in Starfighter which were ultimately cut from the theatrical release, but Wheaton is still visible in several scenes.¹²

Wheaton first gained widespread attention for his work in Stand by Me (1986), the film adaptation of Stephen King's novella The Body.¹³¹⁴¹⁵ In Stand by Me, Wheaton played the lead role of Gordie Lachance, a 12-year-old storyteller mourning the loss of his elder brother.¹⁶ In her review of the film, Sheila Benson of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "Wheaton makes Gordie's 'sensitivity' tangible, but not effete. He's a gem".¹⁷ In addition to being successful at the box office,¹⁸ Stand by Me was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama¹⁹²⁰ and became known as a coming-of-age classic.²¹²²

Star Trek

Wheaton played Wesley Crusher, a "boy genius and Starfleet hopeful",²³ during the first four seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation.²⁴ He appeared in an additional four episodes of the remaining three seasons. The Wesley Crusher character is a "polarizing" character; while some Star Trek fans love him, others are vocal about their hatred for the character.²⁵²⁶ Wheaton commented about his critics in a 2004 interview for WebTalk Radio:

Later, I determined that the people who were really, really cruel – like the Usenet weenies – really are a statistically insignificant number of people. And I know, just over the years from people who've e-mailed me at my website and people who I've talked to since I started going to Star Trek conventions again in the last five years, that there are so many more people who really enjoyed everything about the show, including my performance, including the character.²⁷

Wheaton left Star Trek: The Next Generation due to concerns over how the production team addressed a scheduling conflict related to his wish to appear in the 1989 film Valmont.²⁸²⁹

Wheaton returned to Star Trek in 2002, 2022 and 2024, reprising his Wesley Crusher role in cameo appearances in Star Trek: Nemesis, the season 2 finale of Star Trek: Picard,³⁰ and as a voice actor in the second season of the animated show Star Trek: Prodigy.³¹

Wheaton played Joey Trotta in the action film Toy Soldiers (1991). After leaving Star Trek, he moved to Topeka, Kansas, to work for NewTek, where he helped to develop the Video Toaster 4000 doing product testing and quality control³²³³ and later used his public profile to serve as a technology evangelist for the product.³⁴

Afterward, he returned to Los Angeles, attended acting school for five years, and then re-entered the acting world.³⁵³⁶

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Wheaton appeared in several independent films, including the award-winning The Good Things (2001), in which he portrays a frustrated Kansas tollbooth worker.³⁷ For his performance in Jane White Is Sick & Twisted (2002) he received the award for Best Actor at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival.³⁸

Wheaton regularly portrayed a fictionalized version of himself on The Big Bang Theory, becoming a recurring guest star and then side character on the show.³⁹⁴⁰

In June 2024, Wheaton announced that he was retired from on-screen acting.⁴¹

Television and web

Wheaton appeared in 12 episodes in a recurring, guest-starring role on Eureka, playing Dr. Isaac Parrish, the head of the Non-Lethal Weapons Lab at Global Dynamics and a thorn in Fargo's side.⁴⁵ Wheaton also voices the character of the former scoutmaster and current sous-chef Earl Harlan in the popular dark, surreal-comedy podcast Welcome to Night Vale.⁴⁶

Wheaton, along with webcartoonists Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade, and Scott Kurtz of PvP, played in front of a live audience.
