Wil Wheaton has had a recurring role as himself on The Big Bang Theory since 2009.
But by the time he got past his own anxiety enough to really appreciate and enjoy the experience, the show was over.
He told Cleveland.com he worried he would be fired after every episode, and it wasn’t until this most recent appearance — his 17th episode on the show — that he realized they’re not going to hire someone else to play Wil Wheaton!
