I removed this wick for being YMMV which shouldn\'t appear on the main page.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: A rare example of this happening to an \'\'actor\'\' rather than the character. After he left \'\'Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration\'\', especially as he didn\'t leap into another large acting job, the geek culture promptly proclaimed him to be as much of a wimp and loser as his character, Wesley Crusher. Jokes about his lack of career, and how he\'d go down in history as being one of the most insufferable characters in TV history, were plentiful. Then came his [[http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/ blog]], his [[https://twitter.com/wilw twitter feed]], appearances on TheGuild and AdamWesting taken to new and dizzying heights in TheBigBangTheory. Thanks to that, and apparently to being a genuinely nice guy at fan conventions, and not being afraid to mock his old character and perceived [[TheScrappy scrappy-ness]], Wheaton has morphed into a kind of geek god.
