}}Ilan Mitchell-Smith (born June 29, 1969) is an American academic and former actor best known as the co-star of the film Weird Science (1985).[1]

Acting career

Mitchell-Smith's very first passion was ballet. He studied as a child and even won a scholarship to dance with the School of American Ballet. While there on his scholarship, he was discovered by a casting director and his film career began in 1982 at age 12 when he played a younger version of the title character in Sidney Lumet's Daniel. After a starring role in the 1984 film The Wild Life, he was cast as Wyatt Donnelly in the 1985 teen classic Weird Science by writer/director John Hughes. The film focuses on two nerdy teenage boys who create a woman of their own (played by Kelly Le Brock), as they are unable to find girlfriends.

Mitchell-Smith starred in several other films and TV series, most notably The Chocolate War[2] and Superboy; none of these brought him the same degree of recognition. He decided to leave acting entirely in 1991, his final role being a guest appearance on Silk Stalkings. Recently Mitchell-Smith has done select voice over work (recording for two episodes -- "Moon Warriors" and "Heads Will Roll"—of Fox ADHD's "Axe Cop").

Mitchell-Smith guest starred in The Goldbergs season 5 episode 1 playing science teacher Mr. Connelly. The episode was based on the movie Weird Science in which Barry Goldberg believes he can make a girlfriend in the same manner as the movie.[3]

Academic career

Mitchell-Smith received his BA in Medieval Studies from UC Davis and his MA in Medieval Studies from Fordham University. He received a doctoral degree from Texas A&M University in 2005, and he is currently an associate professor in the English department at California State University, Long Beach.[4] For several years prior to his appointment at Cal State, he was a professor at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas.[5] Mitchell-Smith publishes on chivalry in the later Middle Ages, and he also publishes on cinematic, television, and video game versions of medieval culture.

Table top gaming

Mitchell-Smith has published on Dungeons & Dragons,[6] and is a staff writer for Talk Wargaming[7] and writes a column for Forces of Geek called "Playing the Nerd".[8] He works as a technical writer and editor for smaller independent game producers, and he is an active table-top gamer and an organizer of tabletop game events in Southern California.

Personal

Mitchell-Smith met Susannah Demaree at Santa Monica College in Santa Monica, California. They were married in 1995. They have two children, born in 1998 and 2000.
