I Don't Blame Him
By Greenspan

Look, he's not badmouthing Star Trek or wanting people to forget that he was a part of it. Only hypersenstive Trekkies would be offended by his comments. He's an actor. Actors don't want to be heavily identified with one role. Introducing him as Star Trek's Patrick Stewart instead of just as Patrick Stewart is an insult to him. It's like saying he's a nobody without Star Trek or that Star Trek is the only notable thing he's done. Actors like to be able to disappear into a role and not have the audience see them as a character they played earlier. And coming back to do another Trek movie if he's given a big fat paycheck doesn't make him a hypocrite. It just means they gave him enough money to overlook the fact that he's heavily identified with this one role. Imagine if you were the CEO of some big company like Intel and you went to work as the CEO of Sun Microsystems, but long after you joined Sun, people kept referring to you as the guy from Intel. You can be proud of your time at Intel, but you'd rather people not need that label to describe you all the time.
