Patrick Stewart Annoyed by Star Trek Association

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:51, 2 April 2006 / People

In a recent interview to the Radio Times, Star Trek The Next Generation star Patrick Stewart talks about his new series Eleventh Hour and his return to England. Here is an excerpt.

Q : Is it annoying that everyone still thinks of you as the bloke from Star Trek ?

Stewart : Yeah, very much so. I have often been irritated when I have been identified as an English actor exclusively know as Jean-Luc Picard, as though the rest of my life didn't exist at all. It continues to irritate now when I'm introduced as "Star Trek's Patrick Stewart". But let me be clear about it, it's not because I'm in any way uncomfortable about the work we did - I'm very proud of the television series and I'm proud that it will go on entertaining people for the rest of my life.

Read the full interview here.

He didn't say anything bad about Star Trek or the fans. He simply doesn't like being known for _one_ role. If you were an actor, especially an older one who's been acting for decades, you'd be frustrated about it too.

And frankly, theres a reason I dont mention Star Trek when people ask me what television and movies I like. I don't want to be mistakenly associated with the typical Trekkie, who, as a poster a couple posts above said, is "notoriously fanatical, arrogant and shortsighted".

He hasn't badmouthed anyone, dipshit. Did he say "I hate the Trekkies"? No. Did he say "I hate Star Trek?" No. Did he say he hated working on TNG? No. He doesn't like feeling as if he's only being reckognised for his one role. That's it. Of course, we've now established that you're too much of a turd to be able to comprehend that.
