Will Wheaton, forever known to Star Trek geeks as Wesley Crusher, has been doing a lot of voiceover work for cartoons since the TNG show was retired. According to his blog, he’s now doing work for the Naruto dub, but he doesn’t say for which character. Any guesses?

Last week, Will wrote about his Naruto experience on his blog:

So I worked on Naruto today. I don’t think I can say what character I voiced, or what the story was about, but I’m going to be in more than one episode, and it’ll start in about a month. I’m recording again on Friday, and I’ll ask then if I’m allowed to give up any details.

Today’s entry talks about him wrapping up the arc:

This morning, I finished my arc on Naruto. I can’t say anything specific (I actually shouldn’t have said I was working on it at all until it aired. Oops.) but my shows will start airing in about a month, and I can tell some behind the scenes stuff then.

Wil’s work is pretty well respected in the U.S. cartoon circles. He’s done work for Family Guy and Teen Titans, and scores of other shows. Let’s see if he brings some much needed skill to the rather mediocre Naruto dub.
