Wil Wheaton in ‘Jane White Sick & Twisted’ in 2002
This week we are featuring Wil Wheaton in our #TBT. Part of it is coming from him direct.
Wheaton was featured in a couple of commercials as a child in the 1980’s that he posted today on his blog. We could not help but link you to his blog so you could get enjoy them.
But there were other projects that Wheaton did in his younger years, besides the well known role of Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Digging into the vault of projects, we discovered this little gem. Looking at the trailer of this film, I have to wonder if the character version of Wil Wheaton on The Big Bang Theory was thinking back to this project when he had to talking to Penny about projects he did that he wasn’t too proud of when Penny was in a crisis about whether to accept an offer that she wasn’t too thrilled about to make a sequel to the Serial Apeist film she made when she was younger, according to the show’s storyline.
We bring you the trailer of the film Jane White is Sick & Twisted which had quite a cast, including Wheaton. You will see a very different side to him in this clip. The film was released in 2002.
