WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

Let me be the first to say "Good Luck!". Sounds like a great idea.

You Go Wil!!

Its a shame you aren't reading for the husband, it sounds like you would really be perfect for that role. Maybe you'll go in to read and make an impression for that role anyway! Best of luck.

Break a leg, Wil!

Woohooooo Wil! How stinkin' exciting! Break a leg!

And here I was, just telling the spouse last night that "of course, Wil would be up for returning to acting if the right opportunity came along."

Now if I could just predict the winning lottery numbers as easily...

Great going, Wil; let's hope the show's another "Everybody Loves Raymond", not "The Mullets". :P

Way to go, Wil! I'm so happy for you! Break a leg!

Best of luck Wil!!!!

I don't usually watch sitcoms, but this one I will if you get the part. Good luck, God bless.

Hey Wil, for what it's worth, I exchanged emails with Eric Garcia(who wrote Matchstick Men) and told him that they should cast you in the new Rex series that he's doing with SciFi Network. If you've not read the books, check them out. Anonymous Rex, Casual Rex, and the newly published Hot & Sweaty Rex.

Anonymous Rex is the best thing I've heard of in a LOOOONG time.

We went after it, but they want someone who is more "New York Street" and I am.

Good Luck!

Hey, good luck. I'll try to send out some good mojo for you. I really enjoyed your poker series. Will it be a recurring story or was it a one shot deal. I'd love to see you go in and clean the house out! Anyway, break certain vital body parts for your audition.

That sounds v. cool, Wil--break a leg tomorrow! Consider my fingers crossed (which is making it hard to type, but oh well).

Break a leg, Wil!

Wait...they *make* mid-sized SUVs?

Oh wow...good luck! It would be wonderful if you get cast and this pilot gets picked up by a network...then we'll see Wil on TV every week! :D

Go for it Wil! I am already visualizing you in this role. Don't be upset about not going out for the lead, this part sounds better suited for you. Break a leg, and let us all know how it went.

Wait a minute Wil, what's this playing against type?

Did you and Ann rent a mini-van for a road trip with the kids last year and *mysteriously* like it?

Wait a minute Wil, what's this playing against type?

Didn't you and Ann rent a mini-van for a road trip with the kids last year and *mysteriously* like the mini-van?

Good luck, Wil!

Well at least in playing against type, you get a chance to do ironic jabs at the stereotypical uptight conservative suburbanite.

Be the guy we love to hate! :)

We'll all know you're really still one of us... one of us... one of us...

Chris

My second thought (beyond HA-HOO!) was "Break a leg, Wil!"

My first thought was "Crap, that's gonna delay any sequel to 'Just a Geek'.

I could see you doing the uptight neighbor. I mean, it's a comedy so it'll be a satirical , stereotyped version of an uptight conservative yuppie. Yer gonna be all over that.

Oh Wil, when you become a big famous TV star (again) will you still have time blog to us little people?

Break a leg. :-)

Have wings, Wil! Much mojo coming your way from Oxford, UK!

YAY!!!! *OtterPrnicessMoJo*

Sounds very neat-o. :D

Heh. If I were even remotely talented and had an agent, *I'd* go for one of those roles. Lord knows I know how the rebel past vs. contemporary present thing feels. Hell, *right now* I've got purple "Morbid Makeup" nailpolish and rubber rings from Hot Topic on my fingers and the rest of me is Coldwater Creek! (Although it's got me thinking about the same sort of idea that a few other shows had -- remember /Family Ties/?)

Oh, congrats!

Break a leg Wil!

Cool! Good luck Wil, er... Aqualad

Break a leg, Wil! We know you'll be great.

I think I'd be worried if a bunch of people I didn't know were encouraging me to break my legs.

So instead: Good luck.

Cool! Think of how much fun you'd have taking pot-shots at yuppies! SWEET.

That part is you, somehow... don't ask me why. Perhaps because I think you'd have fun with it. Good luck.

I think the most amusing thing about you playing a conservative person is when people who don't really know you (or at least don't read wwdn) start to associate you with that role. The units of irony on this one are off the scale!

In any case, good luck thar, sir.

Break a leg!

~j

Good Luck! :)

Awesome news, Wil!
Let's hope this is the one. Good Luck!

Break a leg, Wil!

Playing against type?

Worked for Carroll O'Conner (sp?)

Damn, now I'm going to have to pay a cable bill :-)

Regards,
Bill in Bethlehem, PA

Way to go, Wil! Break a leg!

Playing against type is ... how do the youn'ung's say it..... Tha Bomb. Hope the concept works out and doesn't become "Culturally Mismatched Wacky Comedy 42." Count me in with the other poster who doesn't normally watch sitcoms, but I would tune in to this one to give it a shot.

Good luck wil! this is great news, and i hope you do really well!! we'll all be thinking of you!

go get 'em tiger!!

(did i just really say that!?!?!?!)

take care
rach

Break a leg, Uncle Willy!!

Heh, I would love to see you play that role!
Major Royal Monkey Armada Mojo to you! ;)

Break a leg, man!

Break a leg! It would be awsome to see you on tv again!

Give 'em hell, Wil! :)

break a leg, Wil! you're going to make me get a television set, aren't you? ^_^

Audition mojo coming your way!

Fuckin' sweet. Good luck.

-lk

Sounds great Wil! I'll be rooting for you. (But personally, nothing can beat the Teen Titans gig.)

it's alot more fun playing against type than to be some character nearer to your own personality...because you know all the most irritating quirks of that type of person...if you were an uptight conservative you wouldn't necessarily be able to get to the heart of such a guy.

Shine on, you crazy diamond. Rock the house, and break a leg, man!

CU

Break a leg and knock all their socks off! We'll have all our fingers and toes crossed for you tomorrow! :^)

Good luck Wil!

Best of luck with the audition - and yeah, the against-type bit is amusing. Do you want the part?

Could they have found anyone who more embodies the exact opposite of this role? I think not. If anyone can pull it off, though, it's you sir.

Break a leg.

/and a wrist
//and someone poor schlub's ribs while you're at it

Forget the starring role...the "whacky neighbor" is where it's at. Passin' the Mojo along..

Good luck, I hope you get the part!!!!

} {
^_~

Break a leg!

KICK ASS!! WOOT! Go Willie, GO!

Good luck, Wil! Keepin' those fingers crossed for you.

Mm...that sounds like it could be really good, or really bad. It'd all depend on the writing.
If you get the role though, I'll definitely check it out. I may actually have to get cale O_o

About time too!! I for one would be delighted to see you regularly on the screen again- and I doubt if I'm alone judging by all the lurrve for you on this site- don't the agents bods know about your massive follwing?? I'm sure you'll be great- Good luck honey x

That doesn't sound like West Wing at all. Hmmm...

Good luck,
Dave

I retract my statement in the last posting regarding the notion of your playing a Republican, Wil. It's not that weird to picture. You'll be great.

Good luck dude! Major mojo headed your way!

Just make sure they don't hide your face behind an article of the set every time you're on screen, like that *other* wacky neighbor ;-)

Have fun with it, Wil.

Hey, I just saw (night before last on cable here in Australia) a repeat of the Outer Limits story you were in with Robert Patrick and Graham Greene. I thought you were great in that.

Good luck man, although...doesn't this show sound a heck of a lot like the ill-fated Rock Me Baby? Well, here's to hoping not!

It's ashame there aren't any conservatives around the net for you to get inspiration from. :-)

Break a leg! Kill!

Good Luck Wil. I hope you get it.

Way to go Wil...I hope you get the part!

Heh,you are sooo not going to get it...JK.Do your best *audition mojo*

Break a leg! Holding good thoughts for you :)

As a kindness to the other folks at the audition, you'd better wear an appropriate t-shirt. ;)

Sending some Mountain Man Mojo to Wil as I open up a bag of Mountain Man Honey Roast Peanuts (the truck just came by the office). Knock 'em dead!

You go, Wil. It's you,..you do have that kinda cute nerdiness they'll be looking for. Think Wesley with an MBA.

Break both legs, dude.

I would love to see you every week on TV.
Sending major mojo and break a leg.

Way to go, Wil! I'd LOOOOOVE to see you on TV again :)

Cool! I think it'll be a riot seeing wil playing conservative after watching him here for a while. :) Go wil!

knock them dead Wil! I hope to see you more often on my new plasma flat screen!

Good luck Wil!

I think it'd be a lot of fun to see you "play against type" if you land the part!

Rock ON! Wil's got a pilot audition! Hopefully this translates to more Wheaton on my TV other than reruns of TNG on SpikeTV. Can't beat that, though, since "The Manly Geek" is on "The Manly Network..."

Oh yeah, have you called Sean yet? Call him, man, call him! The Oscar hype has to be dead by now, and if it isn't, I'm sure he'd love to hear from and old friend and co-star...

Major Mojo for Uncle Willy! I wish you the best of luck. And guess what whether or not they feel you are right for the part, we know you will have tried your best, and we will all be waiting here with smiles to congratulate you for being you!

Yippers, Wil, I'm sending all my mojo your way for the audition.

There is no playing against type for great actors, and I've seen you do some wonderful acting over the years. You can play a yuppie or a guppie.

Break a legger...

Jeff

Best of luck! It would be great to see you back on the airwaves in something more than reruns.

Good Luck and have fun.

Wil, your an actor? What have you been in, before? Just joking. Good luck. I'm sure you will be a knockout!

Break a leg Wil! If not your own, then someone elses! ^_^

Mojo from San Francisco coming your way.

lol Sounds exciting. Good luck on the audition and hope everything goes well for you.

Btw, any copies left of Dancing Barefoot? And are you still autographing them?

Most of my male buddies have called themselves "Trekkies" for as long as I can remember. And "back then" I always claimed to be one of them, although it was a well-known secret that I wasn't. I was just a *huge* Wil Wheaton fan and frankly, Wesley was my only reason for caring about that show, I admit.

A few days ago I saw one of those old Star Trek episodes again and, though I enjoy my (almost) daily visits on your site and your writing talent immensly, I found myself thinking "Gee, I'd really love to see him acting again."

My point?!

Well ... lots of good luck to you, Wil *beams*!!!!!!

*hugs from a German fan*

Good luck, Wil! I hope things go great for you. I know you'll do an awesome job.

Nothing but good karma and monkey mojo heading your way. Good luck Wil!

Break a leg, Wil!

I auditioned for a bit part in that Anonymous Rex MOW here in Toronto. Didn't get beyond the first callback, but it helped me believe that the drought in this city may finally be ending. (ok, getting off topic, I stop now)

o man wil, thats awesome! good luck! you're gonna be great. cant wait to see teen titans this weekend too.

Wil-

Congrats on the audition! Hope it goes well for you - it'd be great to see your mug on the tube again someday :>)

-L

Good luck to ya'!!

Break a leg, Will! We're all rootin for ya! :D

Yay, good luck. I'm sure you'll have tonnes of mojo!

Sounds like a middle-clas version of "Grounded For Life."

w00t! Go forth and kick ass, Uncle Willie!

Break a leg, Wil! Seeing *you* as the ultraconservative next door will add some ironic humor for those of us read WWdN. Hey, when Ed Begley Jr. (a VERY Green fellow) did his guest spot on Voyager as the eco-bashing executive, he rocked. You can play up all those stereotypes you've seen and hate. :)

Something tells me that this will be the gig that pays off for you, Wil. Let's hope it doesn't get in the way of your writing!

I read your comments and thought "Hmmm, Wil is using acting to procrastinate on his writing projects. Git back to the keyboard, Wil! You're a writer, dammit!"

Hmm... from reviewing work that you have done it seems that you have to get better representation. I sell steel drums for a living... I realize that is a completely unrelated market, but some truths remain:

You CAN get work in animated. Now animated has gone to hell lately since any guy with half an idea can produce it now using his home computer/fapping source.

You can also get middling roles in film or made for TV type stuff.

I guess what I am trying to say is that those of us in the rest of the mortal coil are sometimes forced to survival jobs... I'm a fully qualified Quality Manager and Steel specialist and I did my time checking out videos.

Point being... perhaps you should reconsider your representation. The work is out there... who would have imagined Whiny Luke Skywalker to do the magnificent job that he has done as the Joker on the Batman cartoon.

Just a thought... Good luck on everything.

Good luck Uncle Willie! Im sure you will own all other competition you have for this role. In the words of Larry the Cable Guy..."GitRDone"!

Break a leg, Wil!

Umm, was that Keith Coogan the actor? Used to see all his movies... good stuff.

Jeff

jist rembember whut happind to jesus when he wnet to b seen for a Pilate.

Just b CAREFLU!!!!!! And dnot let them get u!!!

Let us know if you tape in front of a live audience so us Angelinos can watch.

Good luck Wil!! Yay!!

Good luck with the reading! Sounds like it'll be fun.

Buenos suerte senor. Best wishes from New York. Yes I speak for New York!

Serious Mojo for you all day tomorrow, and the weekend, what the hell, for the rest of your life. All the best Wil

Break a leg!

Break a Leg Man!

Excellent! Nail that part! Then call Sean!

I'm very pleased to hear of your audition! The best of luck and breaking of a leg!

Wow! So what studio is this for, Wil? Good luck!

all I can say Wil is...

as for type casting...
I rented Jane White is Sick & Twisted last week..

WOW! I can understand everything that the movie
represents, the SUPER CAMPINESS for lack of a better word... of course, I had to fast forward through most of it... only slowing to normal to
watch your parts...

I give it 2 of 5 stars for overall "effort"

5 of 5 for it's pure "CAMPY" feel...

I also enjoyed your commentary...

I'll most likely need to tape the cartoon gig
this saturday... I'm sure to enjoy it...

Break a leg -- but if this interferes with your writing, I'll damned well break your leg ...

Best of Leg Breaking Luck - as long as you keep updating the site if you get it! If not, we'll have to send the weasels after you...

Sounds like a great part. I'd love to see you doing that. Such a contrast to what I've seen of your personality.

Good luck!

Good luck Wil !!!

Excellent news. Break a leg.

YEY!

Hey Wil-
Good luck! Please do let us know how it goes. I really hope you get the part, because I'd love to see you on TV again.
Here's a snippet of quote from your last entry:
It was quite a contrast: when someone calls out, "Hey! Wesley!" I sort of look at the ground and wish I was invisible . . .
Don't ever be ashamed of the work you did on Star Trek. I don't understand why some people hated Wesley. I loved that character! And I thought you were fabulous as Wesley. Be proud of yourself- you, as Wesley, were an inspiration for a generation of smart kids not to be ashamed of being smart. That sounds weird, but anyway, I'm sure you know what I mean. I think I haven't had enough coffee yet, but what I'm trying to say is that you should be proud of the work you did on Star Trek. All right, I'll shut up now. :)

No way do you get this part. You're too liberal to even be able to PORTRAY conservative.

When enough time passes, and when he has a success that surpasses Wesley Crusher, I think Wil might come to appreciate Wesley a little more and may not longer feel the need to lower his head. (Sorry for speaking for you Wil). If I was Wil, I'd be hanging my head for the memory of who I was a person at that time, not for the character per se. Wil's admitted to his own past 'jerkness' and how it was tied to the success he experienced ST:TNG. I suspect it's hard to mentally separate all these things. But as I said, I think time will provide that, and future success even more so. At least, that's how it seems to work for me.

Again Wil, sorry if I'm speculating on your behalf too much. I'll shut up now!

As much as I would have liked to be the first to wish you luck...I'll do it anyway. Good luck on your audition. It'll be good to see you on tv again. Just started reading your blog a few weeks back and I can't believe how good it is! Not that I thought you didn't have the writing chops, but I just didn't realize how much fun reading about the everyday life of anybody could be.

You go Wil.

This is one sitcom that I will make sure gets watched in at least 5 neilson houses...

Mine, my parents, my brothers, my cousins, and my friends!!

Break a leg!!

They'd probably get better ratings for the show, just from all your blog readers watching!

Break a Leg! I'll be sure to watch!

Break a leg, Wil! I don't normally watch TV, but I'd definately check out the show if you were in it.

Hey Wil! Good luck!! I bet it will be fun to play someone with a personality that is totally opposite from you!

(geez, I'm like commenter #135 --- do you even read this far down??)

~Janis - in Massachusetts

Awesome, Wil! Good luck!

Sending some MAJOR *MOJO* your way, Will! I am sure that they will be smart enough to hire you!

Actually sounds funny :)

Your character reminds me of a lot of early 30 somethings I know. Hope it's meant to be!

Good luck and best wishes!

Hey, playing your polar opposite is good in comedy! Break a leg.

Good luck Wil!

It's the 5th ... wonder what he's doin' now?

....

Now?

....

Now?

....

Hee hee hee. GO WIL!

Hmmm. I love you to death, Wil, but it sounds a lot like that horrible sitcom "Rock Me Baby" - only instead of heavy metal, insert punk, and remove the baby. But nothing but the best of luck to you!!!

Ah, Wesley, they hardly knew ya!

Wesley might be worried about the latests SUV. WW only knows what his step-kids tell him about vehicles. ;-)

Ah well. Playing against type is all part of the job. It's why they call it acting, right? I wish you luck. This is a damn sight better than last year or so, when you had no book out yet, no job prospects & etc. Now you have a bestselling book, another on the way, a job prospect, and you kick ass at Poker. Good fer you! Rock on, man!

The show does sound an awful lot like Rock Me Baby on UPN. Although that show hasn't really grown roots yet, so there's probably room on the block for another set of punk rock parents.

Break a leg!

Good luck, Wil. Though, I'm not so sure about the premise. I hope it's good.

Good luck Wil!

Represent, Wil! The Posse supports ya!

*mojo*

What a treat for your fans if you do get the part! I wish you the best of luck. I know that you will be outstanding in the audition.

Will, you rock - good luck and have fun! I know auditions suck but I'm sure you'll blow them all away. Especially because you fit the profile so well...;0)

Please! Like you even NEED to audition. You should walk in there and go, "I'm Wil Wheaton, HELLO? 'Stand By Me'? 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'? Where's wardrobe? What's my call time? You, with your mouth hanging open, get me an Evian!" I don't know Wheatmeister, might be time to change agents. Anyhoo, go get 'em tiger!

Billy Reno, you couldn't be more right!

dude.. so like.. tell us how it went already! the people of the WIL need to know

Hi Wil!

I read this earlier but had to leave for work. I hope the audition went well. I'm sure you did a fabulous job! It'll be a real hoot to see you playing an uptight conservative! Hope it all works out!

Hugs!
Tracey

what version of linux does wil use?

anyone??? ANYONE???

Wil,

Break a leg boy!!!! That is a show I would watch. And when the show is a hit and your getting a regular check every week...wave it under the nose of the agants who dropped you.

Bart

I'd be so excited to see you on T.V. again Wil. I just came across your blog the other day while I was pretending to do work, and I've been really impressed by it. I hope you know that you already have a huge fan base who'd be willing to support you, and that we all know you'd be great in any role you take. Good luck with the audition :)

So....how did it go? Really cant wait to find out. Was sending mojo all day. Really hope things went well, cant wait to see you on tv again. Sounds like a show I would definately be a devoted fan to. You are awesome Wil.

jay: I believe he started on Lindows, then installed Mandrake 8.2 and upgraded to 9.0 at some point. He was considering moving to Fedora Core 1 at one point a month ago. He also looked at Gentoo, and has used Knoppix.

You can verify all this by Googling for "Linux site:wilwheaton.net".

Best of luck there Wil. Just think, you might become the next Wil-son!

So, how did the audition go?

BTW, even if it didn't go your way, you did get exposure. You may be in line for another gig. In any case, I hope you get long term work soon.

Wil

Dude the part is SOoooo YOURS!! You already own it! Yours for the taking. Everything else is but a formality. Relax, focus, think on your feet, play it loose...

Sending MONDOMOJOHOOPAHLOVEAGEKARMAFESTFOO your way!

Oh and have lots of fun :)

Break a leg. Well, not literally...

A few days late...but

Go Wil! Go Wil! Go Wil!

Note to TV execs: look how many households would watch TV's Wil Wheaton. Not even counting lurkers. Nice, hm?

You Go Wil!!!!!

well, how did it go already? you are killing us here!!!!!

Break a leg Wil!

Regardless of whether or not you get the part, auditioning is always such a valuable experience for a performer. I'll keep my fingers crossed though. :)

Playing against type can be fun sometimes. Wish you the best, Wil. :)

And it went...??? Fingers still crossed, but turning blue at this point...hope all is well.

Thats totally kickass...two thumbs up for you! Good luck!

Having been caught without internet access for a few days, the best I can do is say that I hope the audition went fantabulously. And, what the hell, good luck anyway, a bit late.

Way to go, Wil! *sends mojo your way* My hubby and I will definitely tune in if you're on!

take in a pic of you with the blue hair, lol, maybe they will change thier mind on you should read for.

congrats!

Good luck with your audition; however, no matter how good this part is, assuming you get it, I still don't think that you'll ever be able to get any parts that top Gordy and Wesley...

Anyway, what's wrong with playing a conservative? Perhaps, after having to act like one, you may even move from being a far-far-far-leftist to a Dodd Democrat... ;) And, after that, you may even become more like me - a George Will Republican... :-D

Jeez - my husband needs a new on camea agent who will send him out for stuff like that!
