From coaching youth community theatre to supporting Huddersfield football club and delighting sci-fi fans at graduation ceremonies, the actor is fondly remembered Patrick Stewart – a life in pictures On Star Trek, Patrick Stewart could make anyone feel hopeful for humanity Patrick Stewart brought gravitas and complexity to the screen ‘He stood for the best of us’: William Shatner and more pay tribute What I always loved about Patrick was that he genuinely seemed connected to where he came from despite his global success. Once a Yorkshireman, always a Yorkshireman. I was lucky enough to see him at the Royal Shakespeare Company performing Hamlet, Merchant of Venice, and in Godot at the Haymarket, which is the only time the play has been so brilliantly performed as to make sense to me. I loved that he supported causes he clearly believed in, such as tackling domestic violence. He remained a good old-fashioned socialist. Got to applaud that.

Not only did Craig insist his 007 die at the end of his run, but now we learn from Dench’s memoir that it was his idea to kill her off too. How will the next Bond top that? Shoot a puppy? Now that the next James Bond actor is on the brink of being unveiled , it may be a good time to take a proper look at the prior 007 with clear eyes. Because, while the reputations of all the previous Bonds have ossified over the years – in chronological order: sexy, wooden, camp, boring and silly – the Daniel Craig era is finally coming into focus. And it turns out that he was actually the angel of death. Obviously anyone who saw No Time to Die knows this, because that film ended with Bond being exploded in a hail of missile fire. But according to Judi Dench’s new memoir Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It? , it was also Craig’s decision to kill off M, too. Continue reading...

The late actor’s co-stars in Logan and Anthony and Cleopatra remember dog impressions, marching band-conducting and a fervent belief in fun I had the unbelievable privilege of working with Patrick when I was 11 [in Logan]. He was a man of extraordinary warmth, wit and generosity. He possessed that increasingly rare ability to make everyone around him feel as though they were being let in on something wonderful. To work alongside him was to be reminded, every day, of what it means to love what you do, and to share that love with others. He imparted lessons in a way that was so wise, you didn’t even realise you were being taught. Continue reading...

As Jean-Luc Picard in seven seasons, four films and a sequel, Stewart made us believe the most interesting person in the room might also be the most humane Patrick Stewart dies age 86 His life in pictures Patrick Stewart brought gravitas and complexity to the screen, from Star Trek to X-Men ‘He stood for the best of us’: William Shatner and more pay tribute What might humanity look like in 400 years’ time if we really do become wiser and more compassionate with each passing decade? The creators of Star Trek: The Next Generation clearly felt the answer closely resembled Patrick Stewart, who has died aged 86 after a short illness . Their decision may well have opened up an entirely new future for Gene Roddenberry’s enduring, resolutely utopian space saga. Prior to the casting of the classically trained Yorkshireman in 1987, Star Trek was best known for the interplay between William Shatner’s charismatic, impulsive Captain Kirk and Leonard Nimoy’s drily logical Spock. Stewart brought something of both men to the captain’s chair as Jean-Luc Picard, combining analytical rigour with a depth of feeling his imposing formality could never quite conceal.

From Jean-Luc Picard to Charles Xavier, the actor’s Shakespearean training – and that sonorous voice – made him a unique charismatic force in Hollywood Patrick Stewart dies age 86 His life in pictures O Captain, our Captain: on Star Trek, Patrick Stewart could make anyone feel hopeful for humanity ‘He stood for the best of us’: William Shatner and more pay tribute No actor showed the commercial potential of blue-chip British classical training like Patrick Stewart. With style, technique and the most minutely self-aware, almost vaudevillian sense of mimicry, Shakespearean thesps can turn their hand to American movies and high-end American television and show the American method actors how it’s done – sometimes, even, at the beginning of their screen careers, at a competitively low wage. Stewart was one of the thoroughbreds of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 1970s stage generation who had also had classy small screen roles, such as his intimidating Sejanus in I, Claudius opposite Derek Jacobi. But he effected a warp-speed leap to pop culture stardom by getting the role of Jean-Luc Picard, captain of the Federation starship USS Enterprise, in TV’s Star Trek: The Next Generation, the hugely successful reboot of Star Trek that ran from 1987 to 1994, spawning four separate feature films and then another series, Star Trek: Picard.
