Patrick Stewart took home the Best Actor prize for his performance in the title role of Macbeth at London's Evening Standard Theatre Awards, presented on November 27. Hairspray was named Best Musical (over Parade and Fiddler on the Roof), and A Disappearing Number by Simon McBurney and Complicite was named Best Play (defeating Rafta, Rafta and The Reporter).

When he took the Star Trek role, Stewart says he knew that his life of general anonymity was about to be changed forever. He considered taking the more-traveled Hollywood path of hiring chauffeurs and security, but thought it might eventually impede his ability to play ordinary characters. Instead he resolutely does his own shopping, driving, and other errands, keeping his familiar face tilted downward but interacting with strangers everywhere he goes. Still, Stewart is often described as taking himself a tad too seriously. On the Star Trek set, he once stalked away from scheduled interviews with Good Morning America when he thought the chat show was treating Star Trek in an undignified manner. On Broadway, he once stepped out of character to berate audience members for talking too loudly, and on another occasion he interrupted the post-performance applause to criticize the play's producers for insufficiently advertising the production.

Stewart said, a cooperative feeling began to develop during the making of "X-Men" that formed an ensemble. Every major cast member reprised their "X-Men" role for "X2," including Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto), Halle Berry (Storm), Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (Mystique), Famke Janssen (Jean Grey), James Marsden (Cyclops) and Anna Paquin (Rogue).

Patrick Stewart wasn’t a bit part player at a university before Trek–Bob Justman saw him in a reading at a university where he was helping out a friend. He was doing leading roles on the English stage, and interesting parts in American movies.
