Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton has made his stance on the HBO Harry Potter TV show very clear amid JK Rowling’s involvement.

    It’s far from the first time the actor has publicly stood up for the trans community. In a 2022 interview about his LGBTQ+ allyship, he slammed influential people who stay silent in order to protect their own careers and status.

    “Shame on every single one of those f**king cowards who is so worried and preoccupied and obsessed with their own access, their own influence, their own social standing, their own ambition, that they are willing to put all of that ahead of the fundamental right of a trans person to exist and walk down the streets feeling as safe as I,” he told Forbes,

    “That is inexcusable. That is indefensible. It enrages me.”

    What a beautiful person!

        You can just see it in his eyes. They’re so genuine and kind. That’s hard for anyone to fake, even professional actors.

        I remember watching Sheldon pester him and be an ass, and he never even got mad. He just looks at him with this pity like “I legitimately feel sorry for you.”

        I mean I know that was all scripted, but, like… his eyes! The man’s soul shines.
