Patrick Stewart: Star Trek
built 232 days ago
Patrick Stewart was in a number of movies before he joined the cast of TNG. And i’m sure he’s experienced alot more in acting in his 7 years of Trek (+ 4 feature films), then most actors experience in a lifetime. Typecast or not, i’m sure he’s had an excellent career.

A compact performer with an urbane, patriarchal presence, Patrick Stewart spent many years in repertory theater before becoming a star player with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Ironically, the actor, who is so well versed in the works of the Bard, found his greatest fame bringing a Shakespearean grace to the role of Jean-Luc Picard, the serene, cerebral yet majestic captain of the Enterprise on the hit "sequel" series, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (syndicated, 1987-94). Critics and fans alike were at once enthused and skeptical about the prospect of Gene Roddenberry revamping his cult series, but Stewart helped ease doubts by making comparisons with William Shatner's much-loved Captain Kirk largely irrelevant. Before long, "Trekkers" were looking forward to Picard's own romantic and personal travails, his requests for Earl Grey tea or his command to underlings to "Make it so". His solid build, strong features, attractively balding dome and sensitive brand of authority even led him to be dubbed "Sexiest Man on TV" in 1992.

THE war of words between ex-"Star Trek" captain Patrick Stewart and the Shubert Organization could turn into a full-scale food fight today. The outspoken star of "The Ride Down Mt. Morgan," who blames Shubert for bungling the promotion of the play, will come face to face with his tormentors when he emcees the annual Drama League awards lunch at the Grand Hyatt - where the Shubert folks have booked a front row center table. If the tension gets too thick, the chrome-domed former Trekkie may want someone to "beam him up" from the soiree.
