You probably know Wil Wheaton as an actor from such movies and tv series as Stand By Me and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wil got out of acting for a bit and now pursues acting, performs in a comedy troupe and writes books ( Dancing Barefoot and Just a Geek ) about his life and experiences. Like most actors, Wil doesn't work as much as he'd like and deals with the ongoing frustrations of being a semi-celebrity (too recognizable to be a generic commercial guy and not recognizable enough to be a spokesperson). He writes about his life and adventures on his blog and it's always entertaining.

His latest entry details a happy chapter in his personal actor's journey.
