Every obit will mention his roles as Picard and Professor X. Let’s celebrate his other awesome roles, like Uriel Septim VII in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, or just being himself as he read Shakespearean sonnets each night to the world during COVID lockdown. Or my personal favorite, his scene in Extras that still makes me laugh.
And honestly, from everything I’ve heard about the man, he was just an all-around lovely person. Caring and supportive of anyone who had the good fortune to know him.
A fun fact I enjoy about his role as Uriel Septim is that apparently he was given a large booklet (90 pages apparently) of notes on his character’s background, motivations, the world’s wider lore, as well as notes that linked into roles Stewart had played before. The Oblivion team were worried that they’d overload him with too much information, but Stewart was, in fact, delighted by all the details, and remarked that he wished all of his roles would give him so much to work with.

He was a terrific Gurney Halleck in Lynch’s Dune.

My favorite role of his was Ahab in the 1998 Moby Dick.
King Leodegrance in Excalibur
Everyone seems to be forgetting he was Director Avery Bullock
I’ve seen everything.
He was actually a Shakespearean actor, but most of the World knows him for his roles on Films and TV Series.
A friend of mine saw him as Oberron in Midsummer Night’s Dream
If you sail the seas, track down Blunt Talk, he’s amazing in it.

Blunt Talk is deeply underrated.
Such an underrated show. I loved it!
This was Patrick Stewart’s best role. Sterling from the 1995 film Jeffrey.
And that time he told us all that he’s uncircumcised and didn’t know.
Thank you for that! Never seen that before.
Also check the outtakes of him trying to get through the scene with Gervais not keeping it together https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JlLbZVxRH60
Or as Pigtrick the severed pig’s head in Bait.
