Baltimore Comic-Con is just around the corner, on September 28-30, 2018, at the Inner Harbor’s Baltimore Convention Center. Tickets can be purchased online with debit or credit card now to avoid standing in additional lines. Ahead of the show, Baltimore Comic-Con has announced the addition of television, movie, and internet star Wil Wheaton as a guest of the show on both Friday and Saturday. 

Wil Wheaton is an author, actor, and producer. He is best known for his work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stand By Me, and The Big Bang Theory. He is the co-creator, with Felicia Day, of the award-winning webseries, Tabletop. Wheaton is also an award-winning audiobook narrator, with narration credits including Ready Player One, The Collapsing Empire, Red Shirts, Strange Weather, and Masters of Doom. 

As a voice actor, Wheaton has performed in Teen Titans, Stretch Armstrong and the Flex Fighters, Ben Ten: Alien Force, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and Disney’s Miles from Tomorrowland. Wheaton lives with depression and anxiety, and is an outspoken advocate for mental health care. He was the recipient of the 2014 Rona and Ken Purdy Award to End Discrimination, awarded by NAMI.

“Wil is someone we’ve wanted to have to the show for some time now,” said Marc Nathan, show promoter for the Baltimore Comic-Con. “He is such a beloved figure with our fans, from his work as a child actor in Stand By Me to his stand-out character of Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, his recurring guest starring role on The Big Bang Theory to his voice over work in animation and audiobooks. He really strikes a geek-chic chord, and our attendees are going to love having him in Baltimore!”
