Wil Wheaton as Wesley Crusher

Let’s take a look at one of Star Trek’s most contentious characters. Wesley Crusher, played by Wil Wheaton, appears to be an innocent character. But that was sort of the issue. Fans were dissatisfied with the boy’s ability to save the day on numerous occasions despite his struggles to gain admission to the Starfleet Academy. His storylines were usually excessively contrived, and fans weren’t into them. Wheaton’s tenure on the show as Wesley Crusher lasted from 1987 to 1991, encompassing the first four seasons of “The Next Generation.” Wheaton has done well since leaving the program, with no lingering negative feelings about his character. Wheaton has been on a variety of television shows, including “Criminal Minds” and “The Big Bang Theory.” He also makes a hilarious cameo as himself in “Family Guy.”
