Kirk was the best Captain when his series aired, and long past, and was probably never considered a great actor, though he was considered the greatest human.

Patrick Stewart became the runner-up best Captain after his series ended and the other series started airing, though was long considered the best actor in all of the series. But when his series was on, I dunno. His captain was good, sometimes great, but never approached Shatneriffic. I think Stewart is considered a great actor in spite of his Star Trek, not because of it.

"You think with a financial statement like this you can have the duck?"

He may be 72 but he still sends me into instant panty melt.
/no love for Prof Xavier?????

Anyone remember him playing a flamboyant homosexual?

He must have done too many one-armed pull ups in that gym because his arm got freakish long.

BumpInTheNight: MadSkillz: ecmoRandomNumbers: MadSkillz: No love for Patrick's performance in Jeffrey, where he played a flamboyantly gay character?

THANK YOU!

"Can I DO this, or do I look like some sort of gay superhero?"

That movie was a crazy mess.

You guys might appreciate Gazorra's mashup of that and ST:TNG: Link

/His whole series of these are hilarious

That was great, thank you.

The problem is that the miniseries wasn't as faithful as possible. Irulan had way too large a role and...well, let's just say I tuned out when I realized they had Harkonnen speaking in rhyming couplets.

For all the hatred of Brian's books, they do add background to some of the more seemingly meaningless characters. Irulan, for one. And "Hi. I'm Duncan Idaho. Oops, I'm dead again".

Has it been so long that this has been forgotten?

That was my first thought when I saw this list!

His one-man version of Christmas Carol should be number 1.

YES! Amazing.

I read Dune, and I loved it. I've read it many, many times.

I read Children of Dune once and thought something along the lines of "dear lord, that was terrible."

I've never read another book in the series, nor do I plan to. :)

So i've seen most of those, but I've never even heard of "Stark Trek".

Come now, nary a mention of the Fall Of Eagles?

Lenin was the role he was BORN to play:

Ahem.

Whether you like the movie or not, he pretty much kicked ass in the role.

ATOMICS!

List fails without the letter B.

Has anyone mentioned the Gazorra/Jandrew edits, yet? Those things are awesome. Especially the "flauting danger" one.

No Gunmen? It's one of the most enjoyable terrible movies ever.

How about as a person controlled by a naked alien succubus?



/giggity

waffledonkey: Thought for sure they would list his "Macbeth" from PBS' Great Performances (2007) on there.

I liked it, anyway. Great interpretation and styling!

This.

And if you think "Sarek" was good, you should see the performance he gave in "Life-Force" when the female alien with great tits from Halley's comet took over his mind.

CSB time:

I got to see him play Othello where the races of the cast were reversed. This was at the Shakespeare Theater in Washington D.C. when I was in high school. One of the better plays I've seen.

/end csb time.

Dayum. I like the movie but if I didn't I'd have that to drool over.

Amusingly enough, another local theatre about 2 months after Stewart's "photo negative" Othello, mounted thier own production of Othello- this time with Avery Brooks in the lead role.


Stewart has said that was one of the most intimidating shows he ever did because virtually every other man cast in the play (since they were all black) had at some point in their career performed as Othello, so anytime he flubbed a line he'd hear twenty people calling out a correction.

Saiga410: No love for Gurney? For shame.

You're not paying attention (5 posts above yours).

SSB: I had tickets to Patrick's Stewarts "A Christmas Carol" solo performance and was going to take the woman who I would later marry (and divorce). A family tragedy came up and I had to give them to a friend.

(reads article) I didn't know he did a movie version, I must find this.

"you'll get nothing and like it!"

Saw it front the front row years ago. Bragged that he was close enough to spit on us.

I'll just leave this here (SFW). Link

United!! United!!

First off Happy Birthday Sir Stewart! that picture you signed will be a great surprise gift for my Dad when it is his birthday.

Second off, before I met the guy, I had this entire spiel I wanted to say to him. You know something like : "Thank you so much for the positive influence you've been on my family over the years. We've enjoyed everything you've been in etc, etc, etc" then I heard him speak at one of those convention discussions thingys about how self conscience his accent has made him feel. ...how he had change his voice and all.

My entire speech went out the window, so when I met him I just told him that I thought he sounded great, and I don't know what he sounded like beforehand but he sounds fine now.

Before him, I had never met anyone whom I've both admired and felt bad for at the same time.

/tl;dr: Something Patrick Stewart at a convention said made me feel bad for him, so I tried to cheer him up.

Soooo, you like Llamas? I like... Knockin the boots... The sex with adult women... Ummm... JENSEN!!!

Here are two tickets to Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. Mr. Jackson thanks you for your time.

CSB: Got to see Patrick Stewart at Pepperdine in a one-man show around the same time as this SNL episode. It was him alone on stage for about 90 minutes talking about his life in the theater and talking about how actors should constantly explore all of the different ways they could play a given role. He was so good that he even made that dry material seem riveting. I still remember it 20 years later.

Seeing him keep a straight face through that whole SNL episode was one of my all-time favorites.

No Moby Dick?

I just realized... if he was just a little younger, he would have been a perfect Master on Dr. Who.

MMMMMMMmmmmm. Make it so :)

Someone send Sir Patrick Stewart to my house, if you can't send him then send Beyonce.


/Seriously, the guy is fabulous.

randomscribbles: Has it been so long that this has been forgotten?

People don't watch SNL.

How about "LifeForce" with the lovely Matilda May as a very shapely and always naked Space Vampire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifeforc e_(film)

He was the mad house curator who became possessed by the Space Vampire, had a few raucous scenes with him making out with Steve Railsback

I think it was his first movie,

It could still happen. In fact, it SHOULD happen.

Perchance, do you have any Gatorade? It seems that I left all of my electrolytes with your daughter


The shiat they get him to say on that show is farking amazing.

I remember some Discovery channel Sunday special on geology that he narrated. Great to watch just to hear him say stuff like "tectonic plates" and "magma eruptions".

Karla-never said a word, in either series.

Was at UCSB. That year is possible. I'd need to look it up.

He was so wonderfully malevolent as Sejanus in I Claudius.

Happy birthday to one of the world's best actors!

No mention of the Stonecutters?? Blasphemy!!

Tonight we are here to commemorate our glorious society's 1500th anniversary, and in honor of this momentous occasion ... we're having ribs.

Remove the stone of shame. Attach the boulder of TRIUMPH!

"It also featured a young Mr. Stewart (with hair, no less)"

Hairpiece worn for the role. Stewart went bald at age 19.
