10 Star Trek Actors Who Lent Their Voices To Family Guy
10. Wil Wheaton
Poor Wil Wheaton. Even away from his much scoffed-at tenure on Star Trek: The Next Generation, it seems that his roles will never place him anywhere but dead last.
Wheaton played the babyfaced Mary Sue, Wesley Crusher, whose youthful antics aboard the Enterprise were a constant source of irritation for Captain Picard until the boy chose to enrol at Starfleet Academy. His character matured over time, but was rarely seen after giving up his permanent place on the ship.
In the banned Family Guy episode, 'Partial Terms of Endearment', Lois agrees to carry her friend's baby, only for said friend to die in a car crash soon after, therefore leaving the Griffins with a difficult decision. Feeling that aborting the baby is the best option, Peter drives her to the clinic, where he runs into a group of anti-abortion protesters led by, you guessed it, Wil Wheaton.
The man explains the group's cause to Peter, showing him a purposefully melodramatic video in order to change his mind (which he does). It's a small part, for sure, and fans would be forgiven for glossing over it completely, but Wheaton's role is pivotal in this episode, highlighting the very real debate that likely got this episode banned in the first place.
