Geeks everywhere will be happy hear that Star Trek star Wil Wheaton will be returning to hang out with TV’s hippest nerds on The Big Bang Theory.“We were very excited when Wil Wheaton appeared as Sheldon’s nemesis, and right now we’re looking to see if he can come back to give Sheldon an opportunity to settle the score,” Executive Producer and Co Creator Bill Prady announced to TV Guide Magazine when the Academy of Televisions Arts and Sciences hosted an Evening With the Big Bang Theory on February 18th. "Fingers crossed that we can do that, I think an arch enemy is someone who appears from time to time."
In the meantime, fans of the show will have the chance to watch Stan Lee’s cameo on the March 1st episode, as the comic book legend comes to the store to sign autographs. The Spider-Man creator was a huge hit with the cast, although Kaley Cuoco admitted that she didn’t know who he was before he came on! “Jim (Parsons) didn’t either, he had no idea who he was,” she giggled, but Kaley was quickly enamored with Lee. “I loved working with him, he was the cutest thing in the world. I got to have a scene with him, he was adorable and funny, this man has a lot to say.”
Parsons was equally impressed when he met him, and even thought he was similar to the show’s key characters. “He is honestly one of the most charming people who’ve ever had on the show. He reminded me a little bit of Sheldon and a little bit of Penny, he’s got this biting thing to him, he’s just witty.”
Prady says it was really was a dream to have such a legend appear as a guest star. “It’s one of the great things about the show because we are very geeky people ourselves, so being able to have our heroes from the worlds of science fiction and comic books come on the show is wonderful,” he explained. “He plays himself, though I think we made him a little nerdier than he actually is.”
Now his Prady’s next goal is to persuade Leonard Nemoy to guest star, which would be every geek’s dream!
