He was a great Prof. X, but he'll always be Picard for me. I'm always impressed at the quality of actors who start out classically trained for Shakespeare. You can tell straight off.

He's still doing Shakespeare on stage. :) He'll be coming to town next fall with the Royal Shakespeare Company and having the lead role in two plays (Antony and Cleopatra and The Tempest). :)

I cannot wait to see him as Prospero. 8) Just the thought of him delivering those lines about drowning his book of magic with that voice of his gives me delicious shivers up and down my spine. :biggrin: The Tempest is my favorite of all of Shakespeare's plays. The thought of Patrick Stewart in it.... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Very cool that you get to see Stewart stretch his acting muscles live in the flesh, duchess. (Yes, I was trying for an awful metaphor.)

I've never read The Tempest nor have I ever seen a Shakespeare play on stage. (Maybe the latter by choice.)

I didn't know that Williamson and Mirren disliked each other. Interesting. I'm ambivalent about the movie Excalibur. At times it's magnificent, at other times it's an embarrasing parody of itself. Yep, it's a Boorman movie...

Ohhh! he was soooo EVIL in I Claudius! I love that series. I have it all on tape... haven't watched it in a long time!

He was so evil in it, that when ST:NG first came on my mom (and she was a FANATICAL Star Trek fan) could not watch for the first season because she kept seeing Stewart as that evil Roman who married one woman and had sex with the daughter...!

But I think Stewart is so good I always see him as the character. Remember him in the Mel Gibson movie 'Conspiracy Theory' ... he was Sir-Laurence-as-a-Nazi evil ....

He also played a very believable power-hungry nobleman (a true villain) in a really good little historical movie about Lady Jane Grey. Gotta say, he was very convincing. :)

...and MAN, the guy is buff! My cousin (the creative director of a Shakespearian company) has a photo of him, when he was in his early 50s, on stage wearing nothing but a loincloth (not sure what the role was), and (wow 8O ) the man is ripped!
Kinda surprised me like seeing Ricardo Montalban in 'Wrath of Khan'...!

I happen to be watching Dune (airing in high def). Seeing Patrick Stewart as Gurney Halleck again feels strange now. I half expect him to shrug off being second banana to Duke Leto and take charge. ("Mr. Data, lock phasers on the Harkonnens!")

I just find it hard to accept Stewart in a subordinate role anymore.
