It's kind of like if Jennifer Lawrence or Tom Hiddleston said, "I want to be on Star Trek." Whoopi was the biggest star in the world at that time. In the second season when Whoopi Goldberg joined the cast it was a big deal. What are some of the "Next Generation" behind-the-scenes moments you look back on most fondly? It ended up shaping me a lot as a person, and I'm grateful for it. In the last 10 to 12 years as we've done things together, every one of the cast members has told me they felt like they were helping to raise me. They were influences on me without really trying. Riker) was super cool and I wanted to be cool like he was. And Jonathan Frakes (Commander William T. I always thought Brent Spiner (Lieutenant Commander Data) was really funny, and I wanted to be funny like he was. But I feel like the writers worked harder when they had Picard-Wesley scenes because they were always better written than even the Wesley-Beverly scenes.Īlso, just as a human, being around the cast shaped me tremendously. I understood that relationship and the scene. I remember reading an article about someone who played hockey with Wayne Gretzky, and that player said, "When Wayne is on the ice with you, you play better because you never know when he's going to pass to you, and you don't want to be the guy that ruined a brilliant Wayne Gretzky play." So you play harder and better you find things within yourself you didn't know you had. Wil Wheaton shares fond memories of working with Jonathan Frakes and Patrick Stewart on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." I definitely grew a lot as an actor from working with Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard) because I never wanted to disappoint him or let him down, or be in a scene with him where I was the weak link. How did being on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" at such a young age shape you as an actor?

And when I think past that teenage angst, it's an overwhelmingly positive and joyful and wonderful part of my life. So as I got to be around 16 years old, I just started to feel like, "Why am I even here?"īut the other side of that, I formed relationships and friendships that have endured for 30 years. I was a huge Star Trek fan as a little kid, so getting to work on "Next Generation" was like getting to do what I used to do as a kid on the playground at elementary school and make it the best virtual-reality LARP (live-action role play) I'd ever experienced.Īt the same time, I was a teenager, and as we got into the third season, I felt like the writers just didn't know what to do with my character, and more often than not I didn't feel challenged as an actor and I kind of felt like part of the furniture. What was it like for you to grow up on the set of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" during your teen years? What's Wil Wheaton's current obsession?
