Will Wheaton Gets a Little 'Leverage'
Former Trek actor on the Portland sets of the TNT drama
By Robert Falconer | Monday, June 15, 2009
Former Star Trek: The Next Generation alum Will Wheaton has made a career in recent years of doing voiceover work for a number of animated projects, from Teen Titans and Legion of Superheroes, to Ben 10: Alien Force. But today Wheaton dished about spending time on the Portland set of the TNT series Leverage, where he is guest-starring.
Wheaton added: "Um, I need to just get this out of the way now: Leverage is the first non-animated show I've worked on in years where I'm such a huge fan, I've already watched every episode and know all the characters. It was a challenge, but I did a good job of not losing my shit while I talked with them, just like I did when I met Beth Riesgraf (Parker) right before I went into the wardrobe fitting. We only talked for a few minutes before I had to get out of the stage and do some prop stuff, but I liked them right away. I left the stage feeling pretty confident that I'm going to have a great time while I'm here."
No specifics on the episode number or storyline, as one might expect; Wheaton would be sworn to secrecy. Still, it should be interesting to see him on the series, which returns to television for its second season commencing July 15.

"Greetings from Portland," Wheaton said. "I'm here for the next few days to work on an episode of Leverage, playing a character who I have a few things in common with, as evidenced by something that happened earlier today during my costume fitting."
