[edit] OBE = knighthood?
The Order of the British Empire page says that OBEs and MBEs entail knighthood, so is Patrick Stewart really Sir Patrick Stewart? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by W00t-on-a-shtick (talk • contribs).
- Yes.--WhereAmI 04:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
No. Different species of knighthood.
- Well... It really is the same type of knighthood/peerage, but as a OBE(officer) he is not entitled with the "sir" prefix yet, for that he will need to be a KBE.
[edit] New Star Trek Movie
Hey, according to some news from http://www.cinematical.com/2005/12/03/patrick-stewart-talks-up-new-trek-film/, Patrick Stewart is willing to renew his role in a possible future Star Trek film. He also stated he would only do it though, after he fulfilled his commitments to the Shakespeare group he is involved with (that comes from another link...I just searched "Patrick Stewart" on google news) So I did add to a former line stating he did not think there would be a reprisal of his role. I basically summarized the news. BOB. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.20.179.106 (talk • contribs).
The voiceover (the voice of the Tamrielic emperor Uriel Septim VII) on the E3 TESIV: Oblivion trailer appears to have been done by Patrick Stewart, although I have had no luck in authenticating this. --Trithemius 16:41, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
- You're right. That's Patrick. His name was mentioned in an interview with one of the ESIV team members - I think it was Gamespy, but can't be sure. TaintedMustard 07:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- If you want rumor buzz, the director of the Transformers Movie that will soon be out is interested in making a new Star Trek movie. Depending on how well Transformers does in the theaters, it is possible to have a new Star Trek on the way. Let this be the official, new Star Trek Movie Thread, assuming it is true.--WhereAmI 04:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Supporter of the BNP?
Is Patrick Stewart really a supporter of the BNP? --81.129.106.127 22:02, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
Nope, but as the artilce says, he is a supporter of The Labour Party. Evil Eye 12:50, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
The article says that "Stewart is a lifelong supporter of the British National Party" not the labour party. Is this a mistake? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.235.200.132 (talk • contribs).
I think the article says "Stewart is a lifelong supporter of the British Labour Party" and uses 'British' to distingiush from the other Labour parties aroun the world (Australian, Canadian etc). Evil Eye 07:31, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
- Looks like vandalism. Having known Patrick since we were both teenagers, students and roomates at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, I can affirm categorically that the BNP and all it stands for are anethema to him. — kintak 14:24, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
Added clean-up tag as there is no structure to the page and it needs a filmography etc. Marskell 09:55, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gratuitous comment?
The end of the first para on this page referred to Patrick Stewart's baldness as a "trademark". Since he did not choose to shave his head as part of his public persona (unlike, for example, the late Telly Savalas or Yul Brynner), I have deleted this. It looked rather like a gratuitous comment that was not really appropriate in an encyclopaedia, as opposed to an article by a popular press journalist. At any rate, it did not add anything to the article. Any comments or objections? — kintak 15:21, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
It doesn't seem gratuitous, but you're right in that his baldness is not a trademark. So I've put the comment back, but changed "trademarks" to "most recognised traits". -67.142.130.11 07:17, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Although in fairness, not everyone with male pattern baldness choses to shave the fringe of hair round the sides and back of their head like Stewart does. He has used this in many films, so it does seem to be as much a trademark as, say, Burt Reynolds's moustache. Dave 21/2/'07
[edit] Filmography
can someone add a complete filmography for patrick stewart —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.205.69.116 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Good Job
Patrick Stewart is an accomplished actor with roles from Excalibur, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Dune, X-Men, and many other roles. Patrick Steward has done so well he has proven that actor's abilities come from within with the power to communicate and dress for the role. Good Job. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.190.138.54 (talk • contribs).
This could bee because he is the greatest human being alive 65.126.173.217 17:29, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
He also played Captain Nemo, in the movie Mysterious Island 2005
[edit] Stewart Trivia
I'm not sure where (or if) there's a proper place for this, whether it be Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Jean-Luc Picard, or Patrick Stewart. But it is an interesting note that Picard was stabbed by the Nausicaans (a reference to Hayao Miyazaki I believe) and Stewart went on to do voice acting for the US release of Nausicaa. Should this be noted in one of the three articles? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bmalicoat (talk • contribs).
[edit] Internet Fenomena
Has the man ever made any comment about his status as a internet cult figure? Anybody who knows?
[edit] My New Face
A moving, if not brilliantly produced, programme entitled, "My New Face", was aired on Channel 4 discussing plastic (reconstructive) surgery on children with facial disfigurements. Although a bit sad (and humbling), the overall tone and outlook was quite optimistic. The narrator was one Patrick Stewart. Perhaps this very respectable and commendable act should be noted in his entry?
[edit] Reported death
Some joker has edited the Patrick Stewart entry with the claim that Patrick Stewart died yesterday. So far as I can see, this is untrue. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.38.21.67 (talk • contribs).
- All of that was reverted last night. I see nothing in the article now. -- cmhTC 18:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
It was there around midday today (GMT), but it's gone now. Had me searching the BBC and CNN websites when I read that one!

- This article is/was the most likely source of the claim http://www.lahontanvalleynews.com/article/20061201/News/112010033 Gnangarra 23:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Primeval
I thought I read that Stewart was to be the lead in ITV's sci-fi drama Primeval. This hasn't happened - was it just a rumour or did I mis-understand? Dave 21/2/'07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.44.214.197 (talk) 23:31, 21 February 2007 (UTC).
