‘Star Trek’ Actor Wil Wheaton Tells Stephen Miller to Keep Patrick Stewart’s Name Out of His ‘Nazi Mouth’

Actor Wil Wheaton called out Stephen Miller for posting about Patrick Stewart’s death on social media. On Thursday, it was reported that Stewart – renowned for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and Professor Charles Xavier in the "X-Men" series – had passed away at 86 after battling Alzheimer's disease and Lewy Body Dementia.

The actor's death sparked an outpouring of tributes from admirers, including Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy. In response, Wheaton, known for his role as Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," directed a scathing comment at Miller on his Threads account. Wheaton, who once starred alongside Stewart in the popular series, disagreed with Miller's political stance and was critical of his comments about the late actor.

"Stephen Miller, on behalf of Star Trek, and everyone who knew and loved him, keep my Captain’s name out of your f–king Nazi mouth," Wheaton wrote. "He despised you, and everything you stand for." Following the news, several former "Star Trek: TNG" cast members paid tribute to Stewart, many sharing personal stories and memories of their time working with him.
