He is joined by a number of TNG guest stars
Author: AntonyF

Wil Wheaton—known to TNG fans as Wesley Crusher, has been named one of twenty five new people to start a three-year term on the national board of directors for the Screen Actors Guild. He enters a very difficult time when actors and writers strikes are due to strike next year, following up on the commercial actors strike already in progress this year.

He is also joined by George Coe, Chancellor Durken in TNG`s "First Contact" episode, David Huddleston, the mad train conductor in "Emergence", and Kevin Kilner, the short-lived lead character William Boone in Trek-cousin Earth: Final Conflict. Also elected to the board was comedian Steve Allen who sadly died late last month before he could take his post.
Joining for one-year terms are Wren T. Brown, who had the dubious pleasure of transporting Lwaxana Troi in TNG`s "Manhunt", and Peter Mark Richman who played Ralph Offenhouse in TNG`s "The Neutral Zone".


According to SAG, of its new directors 25 were elected from Los Angeles, five from New York, and one each from Chicago and Washington, D.C. New directors make up approximately one-third of the entire board, which numbers more than 100.
