Early life[edit]
Patrick Stewart
.jpg/440px-Patrick_Stewart_Photo_Call_Logan_Berlinale_2017_(cropped).jpg)
Patrick Stewart was born on 13 July 1940[4][5] in Mirfield,[6] in the
West Riding of Yorkshire, England, to Gladys (née Barrowclough), a
weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a regimental sergeant
major in the British Army. He has two older brothers, Geoffrey (b. 28
January 1925, Mirfield) and Trevor (b. 10 August 1935,
Mirfield).[7][8][9] He was born with no middle name, though used the
middle name "Hewes" professionally for a while in the 1980s.[10]
Stewart grew up in a poor household with domestic violence from his
father, an experience which later influenced his political and
ideological beliefs.[11] He spent much of his childhood in Jarrow.[12]
Stewart's father served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry
and was regimental sergeant major of the 2nd Battalion, Parachute
Regiment during the Second World War, having previously worked as a
general labourer and as a postman.[13] As a result of his wartime
experience during the Dunkirk evacuation, his father suffered from
what was then known as combat fatigue (related to what is now known as
post-traumatic stress disorder).
In a 2008 interview, Stewart said, "My father was a very potent
individual, a very powerful man, who got what he wanted. It was said
that when he strode onto the parade ground, birds stopped singing. It
was many, many years before I realised how my father inserted himself
into my work. I've grown a moustache for Macbeth. My father didn't
have one, but when I looked in the mirror just before I went on stage
I saw my father's face staring straight back at me."[14]
I believed that no woman would ever be interested in me again. I
prepared myself for the reality that a large part of my life was over.
Patrick Stewart, regarding his becoming bald as a teenager[15]
Stewart attended Crowlees Church of
England

England Junior and Infants
School.[16] He attributes his acting career to his English teacher,
Cecil Dormand, who "put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand [and] said,
'Now get up on your feet and perform."[17] In 1951, aged 11, having
failed the eleven-plus examination, he entered
Mirfield

Mirfield Secondary
Modern School,[18][19] where he continued to study drama. Around the
same time he met the actor
Brian Blessed

Brian Blessed at a
Mytholmroyd

Mytholmroyd drama
course, and the two have been friends ever since.[20]
At the age of 15, Stewart left school and increased his participation
in local theatre. He gained a job as a newspaper reporter and obituary
writer at the
Mirfield

Mirfield & District Reporter,[21] but after a year
his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism,[22]
and he left the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart had been
attending rehearsals during work time and then inventing the stories
he reported. Stewart also trained as a boxer.[21] At the age of 18, he
lost his hair due to suffering from alopecia areata, an experience he
found traumatic, and became more timid. For him, acting served as a
means of self-expression.[23]
Both Stewart and his friend Blessed later received grants to attend
the
Bristol Old Vic
.jpg/500px-Bristol_Old_Vic_(750px).jpg)
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.[24]
Career[edit]
Early acting career (1966–1987)[edit]
Following a period with Manchester's Library Theatre, he became a
member of the
Royal Shakespeare Company

Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966, remaining with them
until 1982. He was an associate artist of the company in 1968.[25] He
appeared with actors such as
Ben Kingsley

Ben Kingsley and Ian Richardson. In
January 1967, he made his debut TV appearance on
Coronation Street

Coronation Street as
a fire officer. In 1969, he had a brief TV cameo role as Horatio,
opposite Ian Richardson's Hamlet, in a performance of the gravedigger
scene as part of episode six of
Sir

Sir Kenneth Clark's Civilisation
television series.[26] He made his Broadway debut as Snout in Peter
Brook's legendary[27] production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, then
moved to the
Royal National Theatre

Royal National Theatre in the early 1980s.
Over the years, Stewart took roles in many major television series
without ever becoming a household name. He appeared as Vladimir Lenin
in Fall of Eagles;
Sejanus

Sejanus in I, Claudius;[28] Karla in Tinker Tailor
Soldier Spy and Smiley's People; Claudius in a 1980
BBC

BBC adaptation of
Hamlet. He even took the romantic male lead in the 1975
BBC

BBC adaptation
of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South (wearing a hairpiece). He also
took the lead, playing psychiatric consultant Dr Edward Roebuck in
BBC's Maybury in 1981. Stewart continued to play minor roles in films,
such as King
Leondegrance

Leondegrance in John Boorman's Excalibur (1981),[28] the
character
Gurney Halleck
.jpg)
Gurney Halleck in David Lynch's film version of Dune
(1984)[28] and Dr. Armstrong in Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (1985).
Stewart preferred classical theatre to other genres, asking Doctor Who
actress
Lalla Ward

Lalla Ward why she would work in science fiction or on
television.[29] In 1987, he nonetheless agreed to work in Hollywood on
a revival of an old science-fiction television show, after Robert H.
Justman saw him while attending a literary reading at UCLA.[30][31]
Stewart knew nothing about the original show, Star Trek, or its iconic
status in American culture. He was reluctant to sign the standard
contract of six years but did so as he, his agent, and others with
whom Stewart consulted, all believed that the new show would quickly
fail, and he would return to his London stage career after making some
money.[32][33][34][35] While in Hollywood, he briefly took a middle
name, "Hewes", to differentiate himself from another Patrick Stewart
who was already a member of the Screen Actors Guild.[36]
Film and TV career[edit]
Star Trek: The Next Generation[edit]
When Stewart was picked for the role of Captain
Jean-Luc Picard

Jean-Luc Picard in
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–94), the Los Angeles Times
called him an "unknown British Shakespearean actor". Still living out
of his suitcase because of his scepticism that the show would
succeed,[35] Stewart was unprepared for the long schedule of
television production[34] that began at 4:45 am each day.[30] He
initially experienced difficulty fitting in with his less-disciplined
castmates,[32] saying that his "spirits used to sink" when required to
memorise and recite technobabble.[34] Stewart eventually came to
better understand the cultural differences between the stage and
television,[32] and his favourite technical line became "space-time
continuum".[34] He remained close friends with his fellow Star Trek
actors[32] and became their advocate with the producers when
necessary.[35]
Marina Sirtis
.jpg/440px-Marina_Sirtis_(7284908860).jpg)
Marina Sirtis credited Stewart with "at least 50%, if
not more" of the show's success because others imitated his
professionalism and dedication to acting.[37]
It really wasn't until the first season ended [when] I went to my
first
Star Trek
.jpg/440px-Star_Trek-_Discovery_(36571420635).jpg)
Star Trek convention ... [I] had expected that I would be
standing in front of a few hundred people and found that there were
two and a half thousand people and that they already knew more about
me than I could ever possibly have believed.
Stewart, on when he realised he had become famous[34]
Stewart unexpectedly became wealthy because of the show's success.[33]
In 1992, during a break in filming, Stewart calculated that he earned
more during that break than from 10 weeks of Woolf in London.[30] From
1994 to 2002, he also portrayed Picard in the films Star Trek
Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek:
Insurrection (1998) and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002); and in Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine's pilot episode "Emissary", and received a 1995 Screen
Actors Guild Award nomination for "Outstanding Performance by a Male
Actor in a Drama Series".
When asked in 2011 for the highlight of his career, he chose Star
Trek: The Next Generation, because "it changed everything [for
me]."[38] He has also said he is very proud of his work on Star Trek:
The Next Generation, for its social message and educational impact on
young viewers. When questioned about the significance of his role
compared to his distinguished Shakespearean career, Stewart has said
that: "The fact is all of those years in
Royal Shakespeare Company

Royal Shakespeare Company –
playing all those kings, emperors, princes and tragic heroes – were
nothing but preparation for sitting in the captain's chair of the
Enterprise."[39] The accolades Stewart has received include the
readers of
TV Guide

TV Guide in 1992 choosing him with Cindy Crawford, of whom
he had never heard, as television's "most bodacious" man and
woman.[15][40][23] In an interview with Michael Parkinson, he
expressed gratitude for Gene Roddenberry's response to a reporter who
said, "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century," to
which Roddenberry replied, "In the 24th century, they wouldn't
care."[41][42]
"It came to a point where I had no idea where Picard began and I
ended. We completely overlapped. His voice became my voice, and there
were other elements of him that became me" ... No director in
Hollywood wanted to cast this grand, deep-voiced, bald English guy
because everybody knew he was Picard and couldn't possibly be anybody
else. In the event, he effectively reprised the part as Professor
Charles Xavier – a grand, deep-voiced, bald English guy – in the
X-Men

X-Men films.
– Interview, The Times [33]
X-Men

X-Men film series[edit]
The success of the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV and film
franchises typecast Stewart as Picard and obtaining other roles became
difficult.[33][43] He also found returning to the stage difficult
because of his long departure.[33] He commented that he would never
have joined The Next Generation had he known that it would air for
seven years: "No, no. NO. And looking back now it still frightens me a
little bit to think that so much of my life was totally devoted to
Star Trek
.jpg/440px-Star_Trek-_Discovery_(36571420635).jpg)
Star Trek and almost nothing else."[34]
However, in the late 1990s he accepted a key role in the big-budget
X-Men

X-Men film series, as Professor Charles Xavier, founder and mentor of
the superhero team, a role similar in many ways to Picard.[33] He was
initially reluctant to sign on to another movie franchise, but his
interest in working with director
Bryan Singer

Bryan Singer persuaded him.[33]
Stewart has played the role in seven feature films (X-Men, X2, X-Men:
The Last Stand,
X-Men

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Wolverine, X-Men: Days
of Future Past and Logan) and voiced the role in several video games
(
X-Men

X-Men Legends,
X-Men

X-Men Legends II, and X-Men: Next Dimension). Stewart
announced that he is leaving the
X-Men

X-Men film franchise after Logan,
which is the final time he plays the role.[44]
Documentaries[edit]
In 2011, Stewart appeared in the feature-length documentary The
Captains alongside
William Shatner

William Shatner (who played
Star Trek
.jpg/440px-Star_Trek-_Discovery_(36571420635).jpg)
Star Trek Captain James
Kirk) – Shatner also wrote and directed the film. In the film,
Shatner interviews actors who have portrayed captains within the Star
Trek franchise. The film pays a great deal of attention to Shatner's
interviews with Stewart at his home in Oxfordshire, as well as at a
Star Trek

Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada; Stewart reveals the fear
and personal failings that came along with his tenure as a Starfleet
captain, and also the great triumphs he believes accompanied his role
as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.[45]
Other film and television[edit]
Stewart's other film and television roles include the flamboyantly gay
Sterling in the 1995 film Jeffrey and King Henry II in The Lion in
Winter, for which he received a
Golden Globe Award

Golden Globe Award nomination for his
performance and an
Emmy Award

Emmy Award nomination for executive-producing the
film. He portrayed Captain Ahab in the 1998 made-for-television film
version of Moby Dick, receiving an
Emmy Award

Emmy Award nomination[46] and
Golden Globe Award

Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance. He also starred as
Scrooge in a 1999 television film version of Charles Dickens' A
Christmas Carol, receiving a
Screen Actors Guild Award

Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for
his performance.
In late 2003, during the 11th and final season of NBC's Frasier,
Stewart appeared on the show as a gay
Seattle

Seattle socialite and opera
director, who mistakes
Frasier

Frasier for a potential lover. In July 2003, he
appeared in Series 2 (Episode 09) of Top Gear in the Star in a
Reasonably-Priced Car segment, achieving a time of 1:50 in the Liana.
In 2005, he was cast as Professor Ian Hood in an ITV thriller
4-episode series Eleventh Hour, created by Stephen Gallagher. The
first episode was broadcast on 19 January 2006. He also, in 2005,
played
Captain Nemo

Captain Nemo in a two-part adaptation of The Mysterious Island.
Stewart also appeared as a nudity-obsessed caricature of himself in
Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's television series Extras.
Stage (1990–present)[edit]
After The Next Generation began, Stewart soon found that he missed
acting on the stage.[33] Although he remained associated with the
Royal Shakespeare Company, the lengthy filming for the series had
prevented him from participating in most other works, leaving a
"gaping hole" of many years in his CV as a Shakespearean actor,
causing him to miss opportunities to play such notable roles as
Hamlet, Romeo, and Richard III.[33][32] Instead, Stewart began writing
one-man shows that he performed in
California

California universities and acting
schools. One of these—a version of Charles Dickens's A Christmas
Carol in which he portrayed all 40-plus characters—became ideal for
him as an actor as well, because of its limited performing
schedule.[47]
In 1991, Stewart performed it on Broadway,[33] receiving a nomination
for that year's
Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-Person Show.[48]
He staged encore Broadway performances in 1992 and 1994, with the 1993
run held in London and the 1996 production in Los Angeles. Stewart
brought the show back to Broadway in 2001, with all proceeds going to
charity – and the December 28th show's revenue, specifically, going
to the September 11th campaign of the Actors Fund of America.[49] A
23-day run re-opened in London's West End in December 2005. For his
performances in this play, Stewart has received the Drama Desk Award
for Best Solo Performance in 1992 and the
Laurence Olivier Award for
Best Entertainment for Solo Performance in 1994. He was also the
co-producer of the show, through the company he set up for the
purpose: Camm Lane Productions, a reference to his birthplace in Camm
Lane, Mirfield.

Shakespeare roles during this period included
Prospero

Prospero in
Shakespeare's The Tempest, on Broadway in 1995, a role he would
reprise in Rupert Goold's 2006 production of The Tempest as part of
the Royal Shakespeare Company's Complete Works Festival.[50] In 1997,
he took the role of Othello with the Shakespeare Theatre Company
(Washington, D.C.) in a race-bending performance, in a "photo
negative" production of a white Othello with an otherwise all-black
cast. Stewart had wanted to play the title role since the age of 14,
so he and director
Jude Kelly

Jude Kelly inverted the play so Othello became a
comment on a white man entering a black society.[51][52]
[London theatre] critics ... have showered him with perhaps the
highest compliment they can conjure. He has, they say, overcome the
technique-destroying indignity of being a major American television
star.
The New York Times, 2008[32]
He played Antony again opposite Harriet Walter's Cleopatra in Antony
and Cleopatra at the
Novello Theatre

Novello Theatre in London in 2007 to excellent
reviews.[32] During this period, Stewart also addressed the Durham
Union Society on his life in film and theatre. When Stewart began
playing
Macbeth

Macbeth in the West End in 2007, some said that he was too old
for the role; he and the show again received excellent reviews, with
one critic calling Stewart "one of our finest Shakespearean
actors".[33][32] He was named as the next
Cameron Mackintosh

Cameron Mackintosh Visiting
Professor of Contemporary Theatre based at St Catherine's College,
Oxford in January 2007.[53] In 2008, Stewart played
King Claudius

King Claudius in
Hamlet

Hamlet alongside David Tennant. He won the
Laurence Olivier Award for
Best Supporting Actor for the part. When collecting his award, he
dedicated the award "in part" to Tennant and Tennant's understudy
Edward Bennett, after Tennant's back injury and subsequent absence
from four weeks of
Hamlet

Hamlet disqualified him from an Olivier
nomination.[54]
In 2009, Stewart appeared alongside
Ian McKellen

Ian McKellen as the lead duo of
Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), in Waiting for Godot. Stewart had
previously appeared only once alongside McKellen on stage, but the
pair had developed a close friendship while waiting around on set
filming the
X-Men

X-Men films.[55] Stewart stated that performing in this
play was the fulfilment of a 50-year ambition, having seen Peter
O'Toole appear in it at the
Bristol Old Vic
.jpg/500px-Bristol_Old_Vic_(750px).jpg)
Bristol Old Vic while Stewart was just
17.[55] Reviewers stated that his interpretation captured well the
balance between humour and despair that characterises the work.[56]

Charity work and activism[edit]
In 2006, Stewart made a short video against domestic violence for
Amnesty International,[63] in which he recollected his father's
physical attacks on his mother and the effect it had on him as a
child. For instance, he said, "the physical harm...[was] a shocking
pain. But there are other aspects of violence which have more lasting
impact psychologically on family members. It is destructive and
tainting. As a child witnessing these events, one cannot simply help
somehow feeling responsible for them; for the pain, and the screaming,
and the misery."[64] In the same year, he gave his name to a
scholarship at the University of Huddersfield, where he is Chancellor,
to fund post-graduate study into domestic violence.[65][66] Stewart's
childhood experience also led him to become a patron of Refuge, a UK
charity for abused women.[67] In 2009, Stewart gave a speech at the
launch of Created Equal, a book about women's rights, talking again
about his personal experiences with domestic violence and the impacts
they had on him.[68] He remarked, "violence is a choice and it's a
choice a man makes...the lasting impact on my mother...and indeed on
myself...was extreme. Overcoming the lessons of that male stereotype
that I was being shown was a struggle."[68] He now hopes to set an
example of "what it has been like to be in an environment of such
violence and that it can pass and that one can survive it and even
though sometimes still a struggle."[68] Additionally, in October 2011,
he presented a
BBC

BBC Lifeline Appeal on behalf of Refuge, discussing his
own experience of domestic violence and interviewing a woman whose
daughter was murdered by her ex-husband.[69]
Stewart supports the armed forces charity Combat Stress, after
learning about his father's post-traumatic stress disorder when
researching his family genealogy for the documentary series Who Do You
Think You Are?.[70] He is patron of the United Nations Association –
UK, and delivered a speech at UNA-UK's UN Forum 2012 on Saturday 14
July 2012,[71] speaking of his father's experiences in World War Two,
and how he believed that the UN was the best legacy of that
period.[72]
Personal life[edit]
Relationships and children[edit]
Stewart at the 2010 Metropolitan Opera's opening night of Das
Rheingold
Stewart and his first wife, Sheila Falconer, divorced in 1990 after 24

Beliefs, causes and interests[edit]
Stewart's politics are rooted in his belief in fairness and
equality.[11] He considers himself a socialist and is a member of the
Labour Party.[23][81][82] He stated, "My father was a very strong
trade unionist and those fundamental issues of Labour were ingrained
into me."[81] He has been critical of the
Iraq War

Iraq War and UK government
legislation in the area of civil liberties, in particular its plans to
extend detention without charge to 42 days for terrorist suspects. He
signed an open letter of objection to this proposal in March 2008.[83]
Stewart is a distinguished supporter of Humanists UK.[84] He also
identifies himself as a feminist,[85] and has been a part of campaigns
against domestic violence.[86] Additionally, he has publicly advocated
the right to assisted suicide.[87][88] In January 2011, Stewart became
a patron for
Dignity in Dying and campaigns for an assisted dying law
in the UK.[89]
In August 2014, Stewart was one of 200 public figures who were

interview by the

hoped the US would pass stronger gun laws, but did not mention any
intention of becoming an American citizen in furtherance of that
hope.[93]
Stewart is a lifelong supporter of his local football club
Huddersfield Town A.F.C.[94] He was at Wembley Stadium in 2017 when
the club won promotion to the top division for the first time since
1972.[95] Since 2010, he has been president of Huddersfield Town
Academy, the club's project for identifying and developing young
talent.[96] In an interview with American Theatre, he stated that
"From time to time, I have fantasies of becoming a concert pianist.
I've been lucky enough through the years to work very closely with the
great Emanuel Ax. I've said to him that if I could switch places with
anyone it would be with him."[14]
Stewart is also an avid car enthusiast; he is regularly seen at
Silverstone during
British Grand Prix

British Grand Prix weekends. He conducted a podium
interview with the top 3 finishers in the 2017 Canadian Grand

July 2008. In this role, Stewart regularly attends graduation
ceremonies in the UK and Hong Kong and teaches master classes for

Notes[edit]
^ Patrick Stewart's regular
Star Trek
.jpg/440px-Star_Trek-_Discovery_(36571420635).jpg)
Star Trek character Captain Picard had no
children in the series (barring an impostor in the episode
"Bloodlines"). In the episode "The Inner Light", Daniel Stewart played
Batai, son of Kamin, an alternate persona which Picard had unknowingly
taken on for the purposes of that single episode's plot.
^ In William Shatner's 2011 film The Captains, Stewart stated: "I have
two major regrets, and they're both to do with the failure of – my
failure in – my marriages."
