Wil Wheaton interviewed on Ch. 13 News 10/14/1993

An interview with Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation) on a now non-existent local station in Los Angeles.

The clips shown during the interview are from 3rd season's "The Best of Both Worlds, Part I". The interview itself took place during the filming of 7th season's "Parallels", and was aired on October 14, 1993.

This was originally on a VHS tape recorded at the 6-hour speed, so the quality isn't THAT great, but it's OK.

Interesting that the interviewer doesn't seem to know Riker's rank after all this time, referring to him as "Lt. Cmdr. Riker". Heh...

Enjoy!

Hi are there any more behind the sceens footage of the TNG cast messing about like this?

[bnewall1]

@TheSilverangel22 I'm sure there are, but unfortunately, the ones I've posted are all the ones I have.

I think I just heard "...Jonathan Franks, who plays Lieutenant Commander Riker..."

/nerdrage!

[bnewall1]

@birdman1604 Yes, you did hear that. Oops on their part. ;)

[bnewall1]

Thanks, glad you all liked it! :) James, most of the interviews came from the news that aired on the UPN station right after TNG. Since they were right there in LA, they got to do a lot of interviews. A lot of the rest is just luck that I found! :)

They spelled Jonathan's name wrong.

Wheaton sounds so whiny at first, so self-pitying.

1:49 Wesley tells Worf it may take some time to get him back to his universe and Worf walks away in disgust at the idea of being stuck on a ship where Wesley is still around.

hahahhaha Worf dancing at 2:38

I like Will but how in the world did he get any role? The first rule of acting is that if you have a speech impediment you should not play anyone other than a character with speech impediment. Will's sigmatism is one reason why almost everyone hated Wesley.

They should seriously know better.
