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.

Another completely consistent interpretation is that his ego is too large. Consequently, he can't accept that ST:TNG will be the work he will be best known for, because he will never be an A grade actor like Olivier.
I believe Shatner has similar ego problems. Except he has come to accept his status and realizes he will never be an A grade actor- but that's ok, he can be an excellent B.
Once Stewart comes to a similar realization, I think he will be more comfortable with himself.
