Patrick Stewart Reflects on ‘Star Trek’ at 60: Why He Wants More Spinoffs

Few actors are as inseparable from a single role as Patrick Stewart is from Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, a character who has spanned television eras, feature films and a modern revival that expanded Star Trek’s legacy. Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2010, the British actor’s career beyond Star Trek has remained equally distinguished, ranging from acclaimed stage performances in the likes of Macbeth and No Man’s Land to voice work across animation and video games, and from major film franchises such as X-Men to his bestselling memoir, Make It So.
