Its karma-whorific.

Are you worried about being typecast?

[wrinkledshirt]

Jason Alexander once said in an interview that every single episode he did as George on Seinfeld made it harder and harder for him to be marketable in showbiz as any other sort of character. Given that most people know you as Welsey Crusher, do you ever worry about it? If that's a problem, how does an actor break out of it?

Re:So you read Slashdot, eh?

[zsazsa]

This [slashdot.org] is probably him, going by the slashdot user name "CleverNickName."

Re:regrets

[quecojones]

If it weren't slashdotted, he (or she, or whatever) and I might have.

Very Original, CmdrTaco.

[Kozz]

This very funny interview [bbspot.com] with Wil Wheaton was submitted last week, but was promptly rejected. And suddenly you've got your very own idea to interview him. I'm so very impressed by your originality.

So for the uninformed, CmdrTaco is a dick. And the above interview is inclined to be far more informative and funny than anything that will appear here. Go read it.

Geek code?

[merlin_jim]

Hi Whil,

First I'd like to say that I really liked your character and I was upset when he was written out of the show.

A lot of questions have focused on either your level of geekiness or how many of your Trek co-actors you got to see nude. I have a bit more concrete question, which I think might tell us a lot more about you:

What's your geek code [geekcode.com]?
