  Is Wil Wheaton secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Wil Wheaton is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-author Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stand by Me, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Wheaton, a cultural icon

Born Richard William Wheaton III in Burbank on July 29, 1972, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Wheaton's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Wil hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Wil Wheaton as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Wil, you're the best!
