Whatever Happened To Actor Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: TNG)

Actor Wil Wheaton was best known for his role on the Sci-Fi series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" as Wesley Crusher.  He started his acting career in Jello commercials at age seven, but his career really took of after his performance in the movie "Stand By Me."  At age age 19 he made a major decision to leave his acting career and pursue other ventures.  He moved to Kansas and worked for a computer company doing digital film editing for almost a year.  

In 1994, he moved back to Los Angeles from Kansas and met his future wife, Anne Price, while taking acting courses to rejuvenate his acting career.  Nine months later she and her two sons, Ryan, 12, and Nolan 10 moved into Wheaton's home. "Wil was like, "Yea! Instant family!" says Anne.  Wheaton, now set to return as his former character Wesley in the upcoming Star Trek movie, Nemesis, due out later this fall.
