Will Wheaton: Truly not lame

In a classic Slashdot interview,Wil Wheaton Responds to your Questions and shows that age 29 (yeah, I know it’s hard to believe) he’s actually learned a few lessons from being a teenage TV star. And for the three of you who don’t know, Wil played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first several seasons until he went off to learn about life on a higher plane with the Traveller. Wheaton has a decent website and in this interview he responds with humor and candor to reader-supplied questions about being hated on the internet and rubbing Shatner’s belly.

An amusingly high portion of the thread posts in response say, essentially, “Hey, Wheaton is way cooler than I ever thought. And he didn’t blow his life away with typical child star crap. He even knows what a karma whore is.” But I knew Wheaton was cool, even back in the day.
