WIL WHEATON dot NET: 1.5

Wow. WWdN got Farked pretty quickly once the story made the main page.

But the New York Times? Fuckin' RAWK! \m/ Most people would kill to have their obituary listed in that sucker, let alone an article written about them in it. Kudos, Wil!

Yeah, I'm behind the times and don't have TiVo like everyone else. But hey, the VCR still works! And it's set for CBS, 10pm, The Wheatching Hour (which is short for Wheaton Watching)!

Wil,
That is truly badass. Great article! Sounds like they totally got you. And the comments by the producers, that's wonderful!

Can't wait to see CSI tonight. Gonna have to Tivo.

Cool, made the Times. Wil, I along with my wife would not miss the episode of CSI tonight. Enjoy watching it again with your family.

"Doin' the things that a triangle can..." (c'mon, you all were thinking it when you saw the title.)

Very nice jorb, Wil. Tonight's CSI episode is one of two things I'm TiVoing tonight.

The other is the OC. I hate the show, but (damn you Fox Broadcasting!!!) the new Star Wars trailer is airing during tonight's episode. Fortunately, I can just fast forward past the crap and get to the important part. :D

Tivo is set.

I *HATE* that the times makes me register to read anything! Now I'll NEVER get to read the article!

FARGIN SNEAKY BASTAGES!

/pouts

Wait.

I live in Manhattan.

/off to buy the paper

Congratulations Wil! It's a great article and I'm glad to see you getting your well-deserved "props".

Now I just need to find someone who will let me watch CSI tonight with them (Network TV Free Zone here in the home). It's gonna be nice seeing you on the tube again!

Congrats again!

Awww...what a great honor and compliment from The Times. I am REALLY looking forward to CSI tonight, and I hope that you and your family enjoy watching it as well. Soak it all in, you have earned it. I think is wonderful how you are refered to as a wonderful and successful writer now, and it is equally wonderful that people see how humble and real you are. WAY TO GO WIL!

Congratulations on the good press!! I'm so proud of you! I can't WAIT to see the show tonight. Oh, and I love the Triangle Man song. (Although I liked the Particle Man verse better.)

That is freaking awesome about the Times! I can't wait to see the episode. Personally, I'm at a crossroads, do I watch the new O.C. with the release of Star Wars Ep III trailer? Or do I watch CSI? Well duh, of course I'm watching CSI!

Can't wait to see the crazy Walter in action!

Great press! Congrats on the Times, can't wait to meet crazy ol' Walter tonight... I'll be making good use of my Tivo to analyze this fantastic make-up job you spoke so highly of...

--T

Heheheh, I posted the URL in one of the other blog posts - definitely a great article, Wil. My friends are still forwarding it to me as if I haven't seen it yet.

Nice plug for Acme too!

It's about bloody time that people started to see how talented you are. I'm so proud of you, sweetie.

Now I have to go bounce up and down for a while.

Check your listings, everybody! CSI is on here at 9 instead of 10. Have the VCR set already. I've made my friends nuts for a week waiting for this.

Maybe it's because it's late and I'm tired and you're wearing a shirt with eagles on it in the NYT pic but you look a little like a young Johnny Cash. In a good way ...

Perfect! We are glued to the set at my house tonight (even if we are more of CSI Miami fans). Can't get enough Wil.

Awesome article! Wow, journalists do pay attention, who knew??! ;)

Go Walter! I hope your character gets off and Baldwin's goes down (darn him for selling his soul to jesus!).

Again, awesome and well deserved article!

wil, I am so happy that they profiled you in the NY Times... you totally deserve it! congrats :>...

Wish I could see the show -- something about a lack of TV makes that a bit difficult, though. I'll just have to track it down later on. :)

Congrats on the Times article! I read it earlier when I clicked the Wil Wheaton link in your Google NEws Gets Cooler post. It was the first hit, I believe.
Anyways... you see, I told you two years ago, along with many others.. you are a great person, Wil, and the world is finally starting to stand up and take notice.

your bud, Terry

Three posts today! Someone is excitied about something. Wonder what it could be?

That quote with the writers stood out to me too. I think it shows there is a 'Weseley' type cast for you out there (aka 'non-edgy'), and that this role may be breaking that cast into tiny little plaster pieces.

And in bit of synchronicity, I used a TMBG quote for a blog title today too.

And in a bit of fandom synergy, TMBG will be playing in Los Angeles 3/24 at the House of Blues, and at a FREE 'family' show 3/25 at Amoeba Records.

The NY Times article is very good. A suprisingly nice and easy read. Great to see such a awesome event getting some press.

I will be tuning in tonight.

Now there's an article that needs to be saved, printed out, and given a prominent place in the Wil Wheaton Wonderful Memories Scrapbook. That is just plain awesome, Wil. I expect that your public profile just jumped a few points, thanks to that excellent piece.

I'll be watching CSI tonight, along with lots of others no doubt. Looking forward to it!

The article is fantastic, congrats! You deserve the attention.

I'm so excited about CSI! I have to admit that despite being 26, I squeed like a teenager when I found out you'd be on my favorite show. You and Eric Szmanda on one show, c'mon, I HAD to squee. I'm in Germany, so it won't be on TV for another six months or so. Dubbed, at that. I hope you'll get a good voice, I hate hearing actors I like with horrible dubbing voices. Anyway. First thing I'll do when I get up in the morning is get on the computer to download tonight's episode.

It was a really amazing piece, and I can't wait to see CSI tonight!

Congrats will, you deserve to have it all.

Wonderful! (NYT Article) =) I'm looking forward to seeing the episode too, as are so many around here - because you happen to be in it. =) Don't forget the popcorn... !

congratulations wil...you've had the talent to do these "meatier" type of roles for quite some time now...but now others have seen...and will see...and now you believe!...that last part maybe easier for you now...since you no longer depend upon being cast in a television or film project to define your life or career plans...seems that hollywood has come knocking on your door again...and this is likely only be the beginning.

Congrats Wil,
Gonna go out and by that paper. Never read The Times before, but it seems like a good time to start. All ready for the episode, party goin on! I cant wait, neither can my family and friends. Phone is gonna be off, and I am just gonna watch and love my new favorite episode.

AIEEEEE!!! *squeals and bounces in her seat*

This is so fucking AWESOME! I'm watching the show while I tape it, then watching it again tonight with my husband.

So proud... so proud. *wipes away tear* ;D

I am so excited for you, Wil! I have never watched CSI before, but I am tuning in especially to see you =)

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but are you aware of the livejournal feed of your blog? People comment there from time to time, and I wondered if you ever got a chance to see those comments.

Wil, I'm so happy for you! I can't believe it's already the 10th. I don't watch network TV and have never seen "CSI", even though it stars the man from the best made-for-TV-squid-movie ever, but I am begging friends to tape it for me tonight.

Have fun tonight after all the phone calls and emails start pouring in!

All this does is confirm what I've already known and seen in you, and that is that you are LOADED with creative talent, not the least of which is your ability to act.
[Suck up mode on]
You gave a powerful and convincing performance in Stand By Me and something like that isn't a lucky coincidence, or a once in a lifetime performance. Only someone with real talent, ability, and discipline could muster something like that and those qualities do not diminish. You have always had that kind of talent and you will always have that kind of talent.
[Suck up mode off]

Congratulations, Wil.

I suspect that the phrase "he really filled out what could have been a caricature" could be applied liberally across the board, be it taking on computers, writing, or fatherhood.

You've done a lot to dispel the myth that celebrity equals whatever generalization we all seem to conjure. Humanizing a character is one thing, but doing so on a wider scale is all the more impressive.

Wil,

The NEW - YORK - FREAKIN - TIMES??? You have got to be kidding! No matter what else happens in your life, I bet this is something you will never ever forget. Wow. That is way cool!!

Neat!

I can't hardly wait for CSI tonight! (and I can't hardly wait to read what you write about the whole expierence!)

Tim in Nor Cal

Well, the mainstream media SHOULD pay attention to you, Wil!!! Imagine the kind of press you'll get after the show airs!

I'm dying... just dying of anticipation until it comes on... 36 minutes and counting!!!

Hey Wil, So excited about CSI. I have been bugging my husband to death about it. I think he is sick of hearing it but I can't help it. Also, was glad to hear you like Wilco.. greatly underestimated band.

Long time reader, first time poster. Congrats Wil!

Don't forget that he refers to you as Mr. Wheaton.

That's just icing on the cake, baby.

You're probably going to get a whole pile of new posters due to your appearance tonight, enjoy the attention. :-)

Ten minutes 'til CSI airs here on the east coast, I can't wait.

Hi, Wil-

CSI is coming on in a few minutes, and I am looking forward to seeing you on it. The NYT article was excellent, and has gotten positive airplay on places like BoingBoing.

OT: I'm getting into Linux. It's your fault.

Did anyone else see the "Tiny Toon Adventures" version of Triangle Man? Plucky as Triangle Man, now that's funny. I'm recording "The Adventures of Walter the Crack Fiend" tonight. Stupid work getting in the way of my fan-boydom.

I can't wait to watch it when I get home.

It's on!!! It's on!!!

I signed up for a TypeKey account just so I could mention that I've shown my face at the Wil Wheaton CSI premiere... and I'm hella excited! Wheaton's on CSI! Wheaton's on CSI! Wheaton's on CSI! HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO.

I want to be in the posse.

Commercial break.

I'm guessing that the hotel clerk interviewed at the beginning was the part you originally auditioned for. He was pretty creepy. Perhaps he is the killer.

I'm watching CSI as I type this.. When your name came accross the screen I actually *squeed*, which was embarassing as my family walked past right at that moment.
I'm also impressed at the amount of blogging you have done in the two days I have been offline. That'll teach me to get sick!
Amazing about the NYTimes piece... I am totally linking that to my LJ tonight!
Have a great night watching your Eppy, and GOOD LUCK!!!!
Is it weird to know that you are being TiVo-ed and Recorded and such as we speak???
Jeannette

I'm one of the MANY who made a blog post about your appearance on CSI tonight. I can't wait to see it!
And that was a great NY Times article.

...aaand there he is!

This is my sweater!

I know you guys are a few hours behind on the west coast...I just wanted to say...

WIL YOU WERE AWESOME!!!! I was jumping up and down in my office going "WOOO HOOOO...Wil is BACK BABY!!!"

Damn, Wil! That is one freaky dude you are playing!

Wil!!! You look...well, I am not sure great is the right word... :)

Freaky, yes. Crack addict, yes. Scary, oh hell yes.

Good job. Can't wait to see how it turns out!!

this is awesome! as an afficianado of cop dramas, you are best freaked out, twitching, dreadlocked murderous hobo ever! baldwin is nothing next to you.

WIL! we're watching you now in NYC!

way to make a bad week much much better...

This site is really fantastic. I just found it today.

Awesome job on CSI. Your character kind of looked like Neil from "The Young Ones" (if you're into British comedies from the 1980s).

I think you and your site is great and I wish you and yours the absolute best.

Awesome JOB!

watching csi as i type. Great episode, and excellent acting. I just want to know one thing before this episode is over. Did you kill that little boy?

Wow... that was great! Wish we had been able to see more of Wil, but damn - it was great seeing him on the screen even for just a few minutes.

Dork Angel: I was kind of thinking some of the same - with a bit of Father Jack Hackett thrown in. Kept waiting for Walter to say, "Drink! Arse! Feck! Girls!"

Just watched your performance on CSI. Great work! It must have been fun to beat up the camera with a pipe for the requisite "crime scene theory" sfx shot.

Dude! I just saw it, and was thinking, "I know that voice... Who is that - WHA? That's WIL! Holy crap, that psycho crackhead hobo is WIL WHEATON! And he was doing so well..." :) But man, that was a good performance. Were it not for that definitive timbre of your voice I'd have been very hard-pressed to recognize you. Good job!

Holy crap Wil!! I don't watch CSI, but damn. That was just awesome. Oh, I left some crack under that bench in the park for ya. Yeah, that is how convinced I was.

First post AFTER THE EPISODE!!!

GREAT JOB!!!!!!

Loved it!!!!

You make one unbelievably convincing crazy guy....That was so far on the opposite spectrum of the roles I've seen you in before. It makes me wish I lived closer to the west coast so I could see you perform in person!

Wow, what a weirdo u played! Great job! Just got one question - Wil, are you on crack??

:-)

Well, I just saw the episode.

Bra-vo! Even though I knew it was you, I still had no trouble believing it was Walter.

Excellent job!

Sauja

Hi! Just watched my first ever CSI and ... Wow. Great show, great Ep and GREAT ACTING WIL! I didn't think your character did it, but like the one tech, I couldn't wrap my mind around a kid killing his little brother.

The fangirl part of me read this and screamed, "Look! Look at the awesomeness that is Wil Wheaton! Behold the special speciality of his specialness! Must print article, must find frame..."

The snarky part of me? Wondered if one should really be all that excited about having one's entire essence encapsulated in only 1000 words.

I shut the bitch up with chocolate.

Wil, you win at life.

Yay, dude! Excellent performance, Wil. I was wishing for a bit more screen time, but it was great to see you up there. Congratu-fucking-lations!

Wil had a pretty good performance tonight on CSI... I was kind of hoping for more scenes then what was shown... I didn't think really get to see the character develop more than a few angry shouts - but that's what happens when you introduce a character with only 25 minutes left on the clock :o)...

Wil, was there anything that was cut that wasn't shown tonight? I'm curious if there would have been more interaction that was reduced due to the time constraints...

Wil, just saw CSI, you are amazing. You rock my world. .....yeah.

Just watched the episode, and this is my first reply to your blog. Just wanted to say that it was a great performance... My fiance kept saying, "He's so cute." I think she was refering to Wil's ACTUAL appearance, but who knows, maybe she digs on that scuzzy homeless guy look...? I can't wait to hear about all the 'behind the scenes' info and 'deleted' scenes...

Wil... You were awesome on CSI tonight!! I'm so proud! :) Very good work indeed!!

Nice job Wil. I almost didn't recognize you at first...loved it. :-)

Just finished watching. Nice job, Wil! And what a great article in the Times.

<csi>    <goat/>
</csi>

Just watched CSI. ...dude... WOW!

Nice job! And congrats on the NYT article. Well done. And, yes, you did look a little like Father Jack.

Can't wait to hear more about what you thought of the filming process.

Well, Wil, I just finished watching your CSI episode and although I was disappointed that your role wasn't bigger I was impressed with your portrayal of 'Walter'. And OMG, I didn't know your voice was that deep; of course the last time I saw you on TV was ST:TNG so I guess I'm not the most reliable judge. I have both your books and enjoy your writing; you're the reason I started my blog. I look forward to seeing more of you on the screen, big or little.

Freak'n fantastic.
Walter scared the heck out of me.
Loved the Walter voice. Very intense.
Thanks Uncle Willie for doing such a
great job. Best part of the show.

Just caught you on CSI tonight, Wil - awesome! It was great to see you on the tube again.

Wil - terrific to see you on TV again. But I get the sense that you shot a lot more than made it into the final edit (reminded of the stunt you said you did, something to do with your hair...?) Can't wait to hear your rundown.

I've never watched a whole episode of CSI (okay I've never watched it), but I am so glad I did. I just wanted to stop back and say how awesome you were when I saw your performance.
You.. dude. There are no words.
Congrats, Wil. You must ne sooo proud.
*Proud, too*

NICE JOB WIL!!! I'm so proud! No one could have made that homeless guy any better then you!! Not only were you in my favorite Star Trek, you are in my favorite Crime Scene show!! Wow, that is great! You were wonderful!!!

Okay, that totally rocked. I mean, we aren't talking Oscar level, it was just too short. It WAS really, really creepy.

I mean, you totally nailed "frakked-up crackhead". If I hadn't known it was you, I totally would have missed it, until the part where the detective asked when you found the shirt. That was really good work. Good enough that I can't honsetly say that i would have recognized you if I hadn't KNOW it was you from the beginning.

I'm no actor, so i don't know what it's like on the inside. I don't know if you had much of clue how short the apearance would be. Judging by the pacing of the ep, I can only guess that the script gave something of an idea.

That makes all of the work you hinted at putting into Walter seem that much better.

It never, IMO, broke the fourth wall. The whole time Walter was on screen (Excellent psycho attack for the garage height simulation scene, btw), I knew it was Wil Wheaton, but I didn't see anyone but Walter.

Here's hoping they let you have some more edgy roles.

Oh, and the Hotel Clerk role...it soooo rocks that you didn't get that one. Walter was MUCH better.

You were scary! Nice job! I hope this opens up some more acting doors for you even though you are this big successful writer now and everything!

I can't wait to read more about your experiences on the set.

Good job, Wil. Very... edgy
/currently reading JAG

Tonight was the first time CSI didn't suck for a while, you can justifiably feel proud ^^

Initially, when I saw all the responses I figured I wouldn't bother adding my own but everyone in this household was so alive just seeing your name pop up I thought, "Wil needs all the encouragement he can get," so even if this comment is drowned out amongst the throngs of adoring fans, I'm going to offer my bit.

We loved your performance, Wil. There wasn't enough of you. The voice, the mannerisms, shifty eyes... amazing.

My wife's comments were, "your 'homeless' person gave me the creeps! I guess that's a... compliment?"

A M A Z I N G ! Can't wait to see more.

Great acting job! I'm not sure I'd've recognized you if I hadn't been looking for you. A much better role than the hotel clerk, for sure.

And that article was awesome!

Awesome work! Maybe the casting people can finally see you as someone other than Wesley now.

Very awesome performance Wil. Tuned in for the first time just to see ya. Crime drama's are cool. Until they did the reenactment I wasn't sure who did it.

To bad you didn't get that much screen time. I kept looking at the clock wondering when you would show up.

yeah, I did the same as spi just above me. 8:17, no Wheaton. 8:33, no Wheaton. Finally, we get Wheaton-age, and it was good, and hey, where'd he go? Ok, he's back in semi-transparent form, and then poof, fresh out of Wheaton.

Wil, you just know your adoring fans are going "Yeah, the episode was good, but we had a fever, baby, and the only prescription is more cowbell, er...Wheaton!"

My... name... is Walter. Awesome! I really liked the blue phase-shift Walter near the end. And you played it up so cool. No... not just cool. Edgy. F'ing edgy.

w00t!

Dude, you totally rocked as Walter! The rest of the episode was kinda flat (especially that Baldwin guy, is he famous or something?), but it was worth the wait to finally catch you on a quality show again!

YOU WERE GREAT!!

My mum practically watched you grow up on TV and didn't even RECOGNISE you! You *were* Walter... and you were incredibly believable.

I'm so glad it wasn't Walter who murdered the boy... I wouldn't have been able to shake your scary face from my head if that had been the case LOL.

Wil, you were soooo awesome. I made everyone at work watch the show just for you and they all agree that you did a wonderful job. We all enjoyed it very much! I tuned in to the show for the first time and I'm afraid I'm gonna get hooked.
I totally agree with Maverick's comment about knowing it was Wil Wheaton but seeing only Walter. You really got an excellent grasp on this character and portrayed him to the fullest. You rock \m/

I felt sorry for you, "Walter"...had to suffer the cold, as well as crack addiction. Glad you found that sweater... = )

Great job, Wil! Look forward to more guest appearances on other quality shows!!

Take care,

And, to add, I was quite surprised to tune in expecting you to have pitched your voice more like Wesley's only to hear Mr. Stitch...which also rawked. You're just full of surprises, Wil. \m/

Wil,

It's been great, reading about all your success as a writer and a performer. Seeing you on "CSI" tonight was great. It was nice to see that "the other guy" didn't get that part.

It's too bad "Walter" can't become a regular on the show. I liked the performance. It must have been fun to shoot.

Great article! YAY!
I missed CSI tonight but will watch it on the weekend. I'm avoiding reading spoilers until then.

Holy Crap!!! Dude, I've seen just about every single acting performance you've ever put to celluloid, and I have NEVER seen anything so intense or focused!!!

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if you start getting some more acting opportunities from this!!!

Yay, Wil.

I wish there had been more, but you could tell that you put a lot into it. That made the character pop in the short time he was there. I honestly would not have recognized Walter as you had I not known ahead of time.

Kudos, and here's hoping for more (although I enjoy your writing better - it's more...you)

Hey Wil... Looonngg time reader, first time poster. I just want to let you know how excited I am for you. I just read the article from the New York Times Website. I thought it was fantastic! I live in Lexington, KY and CSI is not on at its normal time tonight because of the SEC Baskteball tournament. I have set the ol' VCR to record CSI at 12:30 am and I can't wait to see it. I would stay up and watch it, but I gotta go to work in the morning. As much as I love reading about your (relatively) new life as a writer, I hope this role leads to bigger and better things in the acting world! You deserve all the great things that I think (and hope) will be coming your way. That's my positive Mojo for the day - aimed directly at you my friend. Best of luck! Cheers from the Bluegrass State. Hope you enjoy a nice, frothy Guiness while you're watching CSI! :)

i saw you on CSI tonight. you were great. i was hoping to see more of Walter though. you still kick ass even if you are a former child actor :)

Hi Wil,
You were great tonight on CSI. I told all my friends to watch it - It's great to show everyone that you still rock at acting, and I hope this opens the door to more spots in your future!
btw, you played your character much better than Stephen Baldwin. Thanks so much for making us fans proud!

Yay, Wil. (I guess lots of people are posting because the site is CRAWLING) :)

I wish there had been more. You did great, and you could tell that you put a lot into the role. It made it pop that much more for the time you were there. I would not have known it was you had I not been told beforehand. You certainly shed the sparkling WC persona.

Here's hoping to see more (although I favor your writing)

Hey, congratulations on making the Times and prime-time this evening. Great job. Also, thanks again for signing my old-school Newton 120!

Wow, I'm going to say it, "Geeks only say 'Da Bomb'" and Will you were Da Bomb!

WARNING SHAMELESS PLUG HERE:

I wrote a bit about it on my blog. Check it out. Just click the name. LOL

Mr. W,
Nice work on CSI tonight. I like the long 'do, you should consider keeping it. Did they let you keep the sweater at least???

It's gonna be fun dusting off Monolith Press this year, eh?

Nice jorb.

Well, after much registering, I am finally able to say how much I enjoyed your performance tonight on CSI. LOL It was really well done.

wil...excellent job on CSI tonight. I just wish there had been more of you. Nick mentioned 'the homeless guy' and my roommate and I started yelling 'Wil Wheaton Wil Wheaton!'...OK, maybe it was 'Wesl-er-Wil Wheaton Wil Wheaton!', but hey, we're two nerdy Trek girls. Anyway, you were awesome, I loved all the little things you did with the character. I hope this is the start of a slew of interesting roles, you certainly deserve them!

Hey Will -- I had never watched CSI before tonight, I am not a real big TV guy. The format of the show confused me a little, I was waiting for the two storylines to cross. Anyways, I'll echo the "good jorb" of above... very intense, very visceral. I wanted to see more, maybe an apology or the release or something. Anyways, entertaining.

BTW, why didn't Carl Johnson roll through Las Venturas and kick those cops' *ss while they were harrassing your character?

Oh you were so awesome on CSI! Fabolous job!
I must say if you hadn't said you were gonna be on the show I wouldn't have recongized you.

Anyway that was very exciting see you on the show :)

The ep will only show here in Mexico in a few weeks but just to say: I'll make sure I'll catch it.

Congrats on the NYT article. I am emitting a proud, geeky glow to actually have known most of what they write. :-)

I know that what I've got to say is just echoes of echoes of what's already been said, but... All I can say Wil is good job! I thought you did a great job with Walter. I didn't tell my wife you were on and when she saw you she said, "Hey, it's, it's... oh crap, what's his name!" She knows who you are as we both eagerly await your column in Dungeon magazine but she couldn't come up with it. I think it was the fact that she had to put up with seeing Stephen Baldwin earlier in the program. That will screw with anyone's mind. ;)

Hey, the aforementioned dialogue about how geeks should be revered and stuff -- they wrote that in 'cuz they knew you were gonna be on the show, didn't they? :-)

I thought that was the perfect setup for Walter's big scene. You were one cracked-out hobo, I tell you what. Way to freak all the kiddies out. You, sir, are da bomb.

Hi Wil! I've been reading your site for awhile but this is my first time commenting. ("Hello strong bad I'm a long time watcher first time writer.""oh a l.t.w.f.t.w.") You were incredible on CSI tonight! I wanted to watch your scenes over and over, which I probably will and show that episode to everyone I've ever met. You were totally Walter and I loved it!

thanks to you...walter was a seriously bent character...you even twitched!...great performance!

aw, wil. you were great tonight! i only wish they had actually shown you more. much better part than the hotel clerk though. very believable, very rough. and yes, i did notice the dirt under the fingernails (but i think that's just because you had mentioned it). i can't wait to see you in more stuff.

Yet another compliment - nice job tonight. Watched just for you and kept hoping you were the killer just so you'd have more screen time.

Psh, and they say you aren't 'edgy' enough.
You're an inspiration, Wil. Thanks.

Hey! We now have new Wil Trivia!

What CSI Actor is as tall as Wil Wheaton?

I suppose the answer could be called a spoiler, so I won't give it.

You did such a great job, Wil! Wow, Walter was really intense... yikes. That took some hard work! Excellent, excellent performance. *applause* :oD

Wil,

Way to go on CSI!! You were GREAT! You brought Walter to life better than anyone else could have done. It is about time they get a great actor out there. Big time congrats on the article about you in the NYT. They hit it right on the nail. That stupid Hooters waitress ought to have her words shoved up her butt. Your acting is a millon times better than these so called "Good" Actors these days. If I were an actor, you are the one I would look up too. Even though I do not know You I still look up to you as a friend. I know, it's a one sided friendship, because you do not know me. Maybe some day I hope!! Thank you for a awesome website! Again, Fantastic job tonight! The best always to you and your family!

Only one problem with tonight, Wil. You didn't get enough screen time! ;) Great job.

Good job. The last thing I saw you in was Deep Core, and let's just say you did a much better job in CSI.

Fantastic job tonight, Wil! They didn't use Walter nearly enough, though. I have to say, Walter is truly a scary sob...but there was a pitiful side of him too. Like you could feel his desperation and confusion. He's living his life the way he sees it, but what he sees doesn't have much bearing on reality. Totally believable portrayal. Kudos!

"Yesterday...A few days ago...I don't know"

i'm watching it right now!!!!!!!!! this is so cool!!!!!!!!!! you're crazy wil!!!!!!! did you do it??? i cant wait!!!!!!!!

Wow. I've heard of people losing everything in Las Vegas, but it really didn't take you long to hit the skids when you got there, did it!

Another one:

"So you must have had your vasectomy reversed..."

Wil, you were so damn scary, I totaly forgot it was you on the screen...man, Walter gave me goose bumps.

Congrats,
Al from Rhode Island

Wil, you don't know me at all, obviously, but I've been visiting here long enough that when I saw you on CSI tonight, I felt like I was watching a friend. That is the coolest.

Sincerely,
Becky

P.S. How's Sketch doing?

ok i didnt mean to post three times. sorry bout that. :)

Wil!! I also squealed when I saw your name on the screen!! You were awesome and scary! I can't wait for your next acting gig. :) Love the blog too. I check it everyday!

Walter the Crazy Homeless Guy has a posse!

You were freakin' awesome, Wil. I agree with the guy who said earlier that seeing you on TV was like watching a friend. I'm so happy for you for getting that role, and I was really entertained by your performance. ♥

intaresting

weird show

nice job

that was SO FREAKING COOL. I wanted to take a quick commercial break to post, but didn't want to risk missing anything.

Damn, that Walter was one freaky SOB. You were *totally* believable in that role... and I hope that came across as a compliment... erm... indeed.

So since I've been looking forward to this episode for weeks now, it's almost a let-down now that it's over. ~pout~

So. I guess I'll just send some karmic good vibes your way and hope I see you on the screen (small or big) veddy soon my droog.

Oh dear -- I'd love to read all 136 comments, but I just can't. Wil! You were awesome! (And I'll bet that only geeks still say "Awesome", too.) We just finished watching it. I'm so proud. I was so mesmerized enjoying your mad acting skillz during the interrogation room scene that at the end I had to TiVo back and catch all the plot stuff I hadn't been following.

Anyway -- way rad. I'm kind of sorry you weren't the Bad Guy, but I'm also glad (kind of like Wesley, who feels strange, but also good).

Now you can tell us all the stuff. Details please!

Now that CSI is over, we seem to be watching a ST:TNG re-run. Poor little abused Alexander is being his 18% Most Annoying self. Hee!

I've never before wished that a cracked-out scary person would be a recurring character. That was awesome.

That was great fun! I can see why they thought of you for the hotel clerk at first and I can really see why they decided to use you as Walter. Way to twitch! I especially liked the scene where they were reenacting the crime and had the suspects superimposed over the CSI folks, that was very creepy.

Did anyone else find that Walter was a bit more of a tragic figure than a villainous one after hearing a bit of his back story here? OK, I'm the kind of gal that takes in the "Charlie Brown" critters from the animal shelters so maybe it's just me - I kind of just wanted to clean him up and get him on the right meds. :O

Congrats on the episode Wil! We all know that you da bomb!

I flipped away from the middle of Celebrity Poker Showdown so I could see your performance on CSI, Wil. (Ah, it was a rerun anyway.)
Great job! I watched anxiously to see when they'd show your character...you were utterly believable in the role. All that preparation you did paid off, even though you didn't have a lot of screen time. On a detail-oriented show like that, details are key...and you did exactly what you seemed to be intended to do in the episode (which I'm not going to speak about for fear of spoilers). It was fun to see you stretch like that; I predict that there's other shows that'll be giving you a second look because of this, now that you've successfully played against "type" in such a high-profile environment.
Congratulations on the excellent performance! Rock rock on!

Okay, now I''m reading comments, and everyone else has said stuff I wish I'd said.

Add me to the list of people who squealed "Whoo hoo!" in their living rooms when the name "WIL WHEATON" appeared on the screen.

This was my first CSI, too. I'm a L&O addict, and can't afford to get hooked on any new drugs. But I have to admit that watching CSI tonight made me want to get hooked. We'll see if I can resist.

It's true, you do have a distinctive voice. You are also cursed with a perpetually sweet and youthful face -- you and Leonardo diCaprio, and he's doing alright for himself -- so it's to the credit of the CSI casting guys that they were able to see beyond that and give you something more gritty and -- dare I say the word? -- edgy to do.

Heh. "Finders Keepers!" That'll be our new thing we ask you to say when you come to town for book signings. (Kidding.)

Wow. Only you can make the Goddess of Justice and Vengeance squeal and clap her hands like a four-year-old, Mr. Wheaton! And I second Meerecat in the fact that I, too, shrieked with joy at your name on the screen. And your performance....

I watch an actor's eyes more than anything when I see a film or television show, and yours were just dead-on for your character! And the nervous fidgiting, especially the hands...superb. (I can't help but think of "Empire Records" when I hear the word "superb", but it applies!!) And I sincerely cringed during your "arrest" scene, in addition to screaming "Don't hurt Walter!" at the television.

I have witnesses to vouch for the idiotic grin plastered on my face every time you were on screen. Each of your scenes was greeted with applause and a happy little butt-dance. Again, I have witnesses, and I'm sure they got me on tape and will blackmail me with it later.

And yes, your posse have indeed memorized your lines and will no doubt make various references to them for the next year or more. The Goddess predicts that sweaters will figure prominently in your life for a while to come. Even during the summer.

I also second the countless others who commented that they, too, were proud of you. I was surprised that I felt the same pride for you that I feel whenever my Hubby does well on stage, even though I only know you through your blog and your books.

When the show was over, I turned to my gracious hosts and smiled. "That was my Wil," I said, in the same proud voice I use when Hubby wraps a play. (Of course, reading it here it looks very stalker-ish, but it's not meant like that at all. Really. Honest. I'm happily married!)

Congratulations, Mr. Wheaton. Feels nice, doesn't it?

Justice is served.

Herself,
The Goddess

Awesome job on Walter.

I love the energy, the life I felt coming from the screen.

I also enjoyed seeing the full character, his insanity, his confusion, his desperate needs, all present.

Thanks.

Fantastic! We had a great time watching the show tonight, and we're really proud of you! What can I say that hasn't been said already? A very rich and obviously dedicated performance. I absolutely cannot wait to hear more about your experience.

Nice interview with the NY Times but,
REALLY, really good work on CSI! This fan was impressed and even knowing you were going to be playing the part, found it hard to remember it was you; I hope the casting companies take note. Great job!

Great job, Wil! Like plate_C, I also live in Lexington, KY, where NCAA basketball is the second religion after Baptist. So I had to stay up so late to watch CSI--but it was worth it! You absolutely ruled as Walter, and I never would have guessed it was you if I hadn't known. Major props, man. May you gain many hit points from all the good mojo.

Your character had so much more energy than I expected a homeless guy to have. I guess that comes from the voices always keeping him awake and wired. Great job, I hope you get more screentime.

Wil;
The episode was great. The only thing I didn't like was that I wanted to see MORE of the homeless guy! SIGH! :) It was definitely a showstopping moment! I wouldn't be surprised if they asked you back again!

Wil rocks!

Scott

BTW...........I DID read the story in the NY Times. I was so happy to see it!

:-)

hey Wil,
Well, I had a show tonight myself, but I taped the ep and just finished it (first time, of course!) OMG! You were amazing! There really isn't much else that I can add that hasn't already been said by the rest of your amazingly awesome posse of monkeys... but who cares? You _are_ "da bomb"! Keep up the great work, both writing and acting!
Ok, four posts in one day... back to lurking now...

Terry (the handbell guy) :-)

Walter, you were awesome! I hope to see more of you on prime-time. Even my wife thought you did great. (Still trying to get her to read JAG though.)

Thanks Wal... er... Will.

AAARRRRGGGHHH!!! Your episode was on tonight!? Will it rerun? I was so psyched to come to WWDN tonight, too, because I got to work on CSI today. Granted, it was as an extra (getting those vouchers, man... tough), but all day I was going around saying, "you know, Wil Wheaton did an episode of CSI a couple weeks back. He wrote about it in his blog."

Oh, well. Congrats on the Times article. You may be surprised, but a lot of us have known for a while (I'll admit, I had to rediscover it) how talented you are. Even rewatching old TNG episodes with my neophyte roommate, I'm seeing some great acting in young you, dude.

Wow I just have to say you did a fantastic job
on CSI, the intensity and performance you put into Walter was just a pleasure to watch.

What else needs be said? You really nailed it. A triumphant outing for TV's Wil Wheaton, now I can't wait to read what Author Wil Wheaton has to say on the subject.

Thanks for bringing Walter to life for us fans Wil.

Holy sh*t! Ooh, wait... getting ahead of myself:

CSI is a great show that I DON'T watch. I've seen a few episodes... good. But I don't seek it out. Of course, I did for your performance, Wil. Got a big kick outta seeing your name in the opening credits! [rawk!]

But then, as the episode progressed... then Walter's 1st seen... DAMN! You NAILED it! Unrecognizable and friggin' intense. "POWERHOUSE" came to mind when thinking of what I thought of your performance. Then, in the later seen, I was further impressed with how well you portrayed this homeless, drug addict that was 'out of place', so to speak, in the real world.

Bravo, Wil. Bravo. [standing ovation for ya.]

Awesome job Wil. I almost missed it, because here it comes on at 8pm and I was on the computer, but fate made me look at the clock and I didn't miss it,except for the first 5 minutes, which to me weren't as important then seeing Wil Wheaton! It would be cool if they brought Walter back on for a couple more episodes. I like the show alot and I watch it and the other one. You totally brought Walter alive and you were very convincing too. Kinda scared me for a moment and then I'm like "wait that's Wil!" Hee hee hee.

Morgan

doh... "1st seen"??? uh... meant "scene" o'course.

Also, kudos to the CSI heads for seeing your talent on that audition tape and giving you the role better served to your abilities.

Well, I skimmed the comments without reading them because I still haven't seen the show yet. But Dad did remember to record it and you must have done a great job because I didn't tell him who you were playing and right now he's going back over the whole show trying to figure out who.

Finally gave him the answer over MSN messenger a minute ago. Gave him a hint and he had his doubts, so I finally told him the characters name and sent a link to this post. I still don't think he believes me. ;)

GREAT JOB! I'm looking forward to watching it tonight.

OK, the episode was pretty good. It was great to see Wil. I wish his part was a bit bigger. But, he did a GREAT job. So did Stephen Baldwin...the other top name on last nights CSI. Ironic, neither of them were the actual murders for their perspective cases. Wil...don't take sweaters that are just lying around on park benches, they get you into trouble.

Congrats on the Times article! Made sure to watch CSI lastnight usually do but at times I miss it doing other things. Wish your part had been bigger but you did a fantastic job. Was a shock to see the Baldwin in the episode as well. I have to agree my favorite lines from the show were:

"Finders-keepers"
"When did you find the sweater?"
"Yesterday...A few days ago...I don't know

Oh I am so glad we recorded that last night. We had to leave town to run some errands and I have been out of touch with the internet this week due a busy schedule. I'd have been really upset if I had missed seeing that episode. I am so looking forward to sitting down and watching it with my husband tonight after the kids go to bed.

Congratulations Wil, on a great experience and a wonderful review! I know you deserve the opportunity and the acclaim.

"Finders Keepers" - the new meme :)
Great work Wil.

One question - the other role you originally tried out for - was it the creepy clerk of the "Four Aces"? If so, I'm glad you got Walter!

I saw the link to the article on IMDB. :) It turned out great!

I found this site and thread from the NY Times article yesterday morning. I read the article and became curious.

I am a mild but life-long Star Trek fan and was curious about Wil's web site. So I am totally new to WWdN.

I enjoyed what I read yesterday, so I caught CSI last night. Great job! Now I am back today, ... is this a trend?

Just wanted to add my voice to the choir. Great job, Wil, and I hope this opens the door to many more intense roles for you!

Been reading since way back -
First comment.
Had to come out of lurkdom to say you just rock!
Congratulations Wil.
May every casting agent take note and get you more screen time.

*twitch*

"Finders Keepers"

he he he

The NYTimes article was awesome, as was your performance. Nicely done, if waaayyyy too short. i'm hoping this opens many, many minds and doors in your career.

btw: Stephen Baldwin phoned in his performance.

One word: WOW!

I've never watched CSI before, and probably won't again unless it's a rerun of this episode. You were spot-on with your characterization. I've seen 'Walters' in the parks in downtown DC that weren't as scary as you were!

Also, that is a nice article about you in NYT. I copied it to a word doc so I can send it to all my friends and family - they all think I'm a wack job for being a middle-aged woman who reads your site religiously. Matter of fact, someone I know actually started writing a short story about me... it's called "Stalking Wil Wheaton." He never finished it, sadly. The parts that I read were hilarious.

Hope this parlays into more satisfying work for you, Wil.

Congratulations!

*waves the Wil flag*

You did a great job. I've always said that based on your TNG performances, if I ever saw you, I'd have to fight the urge to run up & hug you. Now I'm gonna be conflicted: do I run up and hug "Wesley Crusher", or do I run screaming from "Walter the Homeless Guy"? Hmm. I'd better keep away from you; my head may explode from such a decision.

Then again, I intend to recieve "Just a Geek" for my birthday tomorrow--maybe after that, if I see you, I'll just grab my husband's arm and yell "HOLY CRAP, that's Wil Wheaton!" ^_^

I'm a fan of CSI, and I have to say, you're one of the best suspects they've ever had. Walter REALLY made me suspicious for a while. Wonderful, VERY convincing performance.

I'm such a boob! I missed it, and I had it marked on my calendar too. Anyone know where I might be abe to download it from?

Thanks

Hmm, tried to post this once and it didn't take. Here's try #2:

Damn, Wikipedia is fast! Check out this morning's bio on Wil Wheaton: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wil_Wheaton

Nice job on CSI, Wil! We all hope this leads to more acting work for you. I know you are enjoying writing, which is great, but you obviously also love the acting, so I want you to be able to do both.

-ross

Hey Wil,
First-time commentor, long-time reader. I watched CSI this morning--great job! I was thrilled to finally get to see you in something recent, as I live too far away to catch any of your live shows.
I can't believe no one else commented on the familiar story-line, though. Was it intentionally based on the real-life case of Stephanie and Michael Crowe? It happened in San Diego in 1998, I think. You can check out some of the details here:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/14/48hours/main649381.shtml
Again, great job, and I hope to see you in many more projects soon!!

pystol

Wil,

Ever since you told us about your CSI performance, I have TiVo'd it to get a flavor of the show. I do not normally watch network TV -- a 60 min show has about 22 minutes of relevent content and 48 minutes of 'bye me' guff that is difficult to sit thru. One reader above noted that they missed the first 5 minutes of the show. I was timing it and there were commercials for the first 6 minutes of the show -- they didn't miss a thing.

During this episode there were many Wheaton-esque subtle vibrations - BRAT on the window, two boys, one is a corpse, Da Bomb, Last of the Geeks, etc.

FINDERS KEEPERS :)

Hey great job WIL, Hope to see more of ya on the TOOB.

ALl night after the show I was saying "Finders keepers!" Looks like I wasn't the only one.

Great work, man! If that's not edgy I don't know what is. ;)

I don't watch CSI except occasionally in reruns on USA. I didn't even know what night and time it was on until yesterday. But I got home 10 minutes into the show, found it, and was very happy that I hadn't missed your part. (I also have never watched poker on TV before, but I caught one of your games flipping through channels and watched the whole thing. Nice monkey.)

You have a great voice. I think I'm scared that I just said that about a crackhead junkie homeless guy, but hey, sign of a good actor to make me think that. ;-)

Most excellent job. Here's hoping you get more jobs so we can see more of your talents!

Wil,

I saw CSI last night and you did a great job. You were really creepy and very believable as Walter.

Keep up the good work :)

nicely played. of course, now people are going to be giving you blue sweaters at cons and shit. here's to them not being stained with food coloring first.

Hello from Texas!
I just found this site through a friends livejournal, and thought I would check it out.
I have always liked your work so much, and have a real life family friend who worked with you (Tom Richmond). I am excited about the journal archives. I have, thus far, only read the intro and pge one.
Congrats~
Angela

When I was a tween girl, you were one of my first huge crushes. I was so excited for your portrayal of Walter last night, making my boyfriend laugh at how geeked out and girly I got when you finally came into the story line.
You did a fabulous job, and as an artist, I enjoyed bringing together your entries on character research with the finished product. I particulary enjoyed your vocal work and the controlled freneticism during the interrogation scene.
When the show ended, I looked to my boyfriend and said "I was hoping for more Wheaton. Damn."
Well, I'm psyched to see more in the coming future. Bravo!!
**mariposanegra**

Some one has to say it, so I'll step up to the plate. Is this a cae of the Emperor's new clothes going on here?

I'm sorry, but that was not worthy of all the praise I see here. Now through reading Wil's blog I've come to respect him as a father, husband, and writer - but what I saw last night was okay.

My thoughts are that part was written to be bigger than it was. During editing it was knocked down a bit as "Walter" just didn't work as they had planned. I hope I'm wrong but I'm thinking they weren't all that impressed.

That said, I don't think it matters because I really do think that Wil's future lies on a different course than acting. He has many more things he's better at from my point of view.

WHEATON IS LEET!

Wow, I've never watched CSI before and I still think it's a ludicrous show. BUT, I watched last night for a glimpse of Wil and he did not disappoint!

I may never watch CSI again, but at least I saw the one episode with a stellar guest actor. Here's to persistence and talent.

Rad job, Wil-dog!

Peace,
JR

Wow Wil. That was quite the creepy roll. But you pulled it off flawlessly. That was an awsom CSI Ep too. Too bad you didn't have a bigger part though, but instead they used up that time on the bonehead Baldwin brother.
Great job Wil, hope to see more of you on the TV Screen, or even better on the big screen!

I love the scene where you're bashing in the skull of the kid with a pipe! Possibly your most un-Wesley role since the great barfatorium in Stand By Me!

Keep auditioning you've made me a believer even though you are THE **BOY???!*

Hey! When I sat down to watch CSI last night, I saw your name on the opening credits. I did not realize that was you as Walter until you were in the interrogation room. Good job, man! Super convincing, well done. I came to check out your site so I could let you know I dug your performance; I will definitely be back. Cool all around.

The perks of living where I do: I got to see it on a Sacramento station at 8 p.m., and then a San Francisco station again at 9 p.m. Why watch it twice, back to back? 'Cause the first time I was able to just watch it, get sucked into the story, and have a few "you go, Wil!" moments when Walter was on the screen... The 2nd time, I sat up and watched the process...all those ticks and nuances that couldn't have been written into the character. It amazes me how much thought went into a few-minute appearance... something that, perhaps, the guy who played the desk clerk should learn (sorry, but he looked like he was scared to be there, and was reading his lines...)

You magnificent bastard! Why not steal the whole show, huh? Because of you, I had to endure an entire night of wondering, "What the @#$% happened to Walter!?!?"

You made me care, and like the Giant in that craptastic 70's PSA, I had built my wall to keep people and feelings out!

Bravo.

Bra-"the @#$%"-vo

Wil,
You did a great job! I don't normally watch CSI. It is a good show, but I just don't watch. Last night I tuned in just to see how you did. What a night it was last night....Wil Wheaton and a new Star Wars trailer! Just wanted to say you made the posse proud last night. Kudos to you Wil! Keep up the good work!

Wil,

The article in the NY Times was lovely and I'm happy to see that you are back in the public eye--and enjoying it!

I watch all of the CSI shows on a regular basis--but, last night I was hopping up and down waiting for you to come on screen. The role may not have been large, but you did a wonderful job. I especially like the voice that you chose to use.

It's lovely to see your face on screen again.

Congratulations!

Unfortunately I missed CSI last night, as I was out with a friend and I forgot to set up my VCR to record it. (No, I do not have Tivo. Yes, I love living in the early 90s. Now leave me alone, you meddling kids.)

I'm keeping my eye open for when it'll be rerun. Though with my luck, that will be the one episode that won't be rerun. I still haven't seen "My Coolest Years: The Geeks" because that's the only episode VH1 hasn't run ad nauseum.

Stupid VH1.

Coming so late to this fan-party, much of what I wanted to say has been said, so I'll just include those by reference, saving my verbosity for my uniqueness:

* long time occasional reader, first time poster

* Stephen Baldwin, who?

* Great that the NYT article was on the same day as your CSI.

* Thanks for the behind-the-scenes information. The reminder that an appearance of 20 seconds requires the same care to set-up as one of 20 minutes is timely for me, as I have an upcoming guest role in a fanfilm and I will be doing all that practice and make-up for my one line (two if you count the break for a stage directior). It is good to know that this is normal.

* not a CSI watcher, just this one for you.

* Saw your name on the front, then all these characters go by, "Where's Wil??". Then they drag that guy out in the dark, and I didn't detect Wheaton-ness until your close-up.

* I haven't heard your voice in a while, but you did a great job of sounding like a guy who has been sleeping in the park under a bush without a blanket (or a sweater!!).

* Agreed that this is a better role than the desk-clerk, though if you had gotten that part, you would have done better than that guy.

* You will definitely be getting better offers/attention/calls after this.

* It felt cool to read the NYT article and be able to verify every fact without having to go look it up. He really did clarify "who WW is now" for all those dismissers out there.

I give you kudos for your too-short performance. Here's hoping (knowing) you'll get something more significant soon.

Wil I think you're a good writer and you did a good job in Stand by Me, but I don't know what people were watching yesterday but your performance was just awful. You were by far the worst actor in the episode and I don't see why so many people were giving you praise for such sub par acting job. This is just my opinion.

Wil,

I watched CSI not realizing you were on that episode until I watched the credits at the beginning. I enjoyed your performance. I realize it is out of the norm of what I was used to seeing you do. But I liked it. Go for the parts like that. Heaven help me, I can't remember his real name, Richard something, "John Boy", ROCKED on Law & Order SVU. I love that episode. Keep breaking out of the box. You're doing great.
Chrys*

my recent travels had a bit of a wwdn-party vibe going for it. watched the csi ep [and we greatly enjoyed and cheered when we saw your name then when you appeared onscreen; again, great work & congrats.] then while out naturally picked up a nyt - always do - and over cappuccino&pastries we excitedly spied the article and read all about you right there in real-time hardcopy. yay all around.
