He was also Uther Pendragon in Excalibur.

No he played Leondegrance, Guinevere's father. One of my top 5 favorite movies.

I'm glad you said this. I know him best as Picard and he was a big time role model for me growing up...that's corny as hell i know but sometimes you don't grow up around the best role models and you have to find what you need elsewhere. I remember reading an interview with him years ago talking about getting into acting because he'd learned at an early age to read people exceptionally well. He honed that skill as a kid so he could try and protect his mom from his dad...he'd read his dad's mood and he was going to be violent he'd try and stop it or deflect it.

He was active in domestic violence prevention/rescue and also in an organization that desls with soldiers with PTSD.

In this video, he says eloquently that he's involved with one org on behalf of his mother and another on behalf of his father. This was at a comic con when he's asked what he's most proud of.

Man, loved me some Star Trek TNG.
Such a great actor.

Someone posted this meme on some random home improvement thread a while back and I lost it. (They had put 4 lights in a book cubby or something).

RIP to a legend.

That was beautiful, thanks for sharing it.

I re-watched TNG episode "The Inner Light" (Season 5, Episode 25) and I think for the Trekkies, that's the one to watch in memory of Patrick Stewart.

Great episode. Also The Measure of a Man.

An absolute legend. For a lot of the younger Gen Xers/older Millennials, Picard is our captain.

Phenomenal legendary actor. I know he'll get mostly remembered for TNG and Prof X, but I will always remember this hilarious scene from Ricky Gervais' Extras and he just kills it.

RIP Patrick Stewart. What an actor. I still can’t believe he agreed to do this scene. And he didn’t even mind when I ruined every take. Legend. pic.twitter.com/QazyDScCOU

All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart.

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of…

This has been a rough couple of weeks, with Tom Skerritt, Walter Koenig and Patrick Stewart all gone.

My favorite scene from Picard. One of the greatest moments of the Generations crew seeing the rebuilt Enterprise D and taking her out of Space Dock to go fight the Borg one more time.

Brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it. I am thankful Stewart and the rest of the crew got to end it the right way.

I second this thanks. I came to post it and am glad to see it resonated with other people. Even with all of the great acting he did, this is still why I remember him.

Stewart was a true gentleman and a brilliant actor. He is my generations Captain of the Starship Enterprise.

All good things

Whelp…know what all I'm watching tonight while choking back tears is all of these videos…..my dad was a HUGE fan of ST:TNG so Picards passing is hitting me a bit….

Maybe my dads up there talking with him about his favorite episodes?

I don't even remember how long ago i first saw that video but it's always stuck in the back of my mind since then.

There's an eerie parallel when he gets visibly emotional talking about his parents and the way he grew up...in the famous "Chain of Command" episode referenced earlier (there are four lights!!) one of the interactions with Gul Madred is Picard saying something about seeing Madred as a helpless child because of bullies who took food from him and he uses that to steel his resolve against the torture he's going through. I can't help but think Stewart's experiences being bullied or watching his mother being abused played a role in how he approached that scene.

If you have H&I, they're running a kind of "best of Picard" marathon tonight in lieu of the usual Star Trek bloc.

Measure of a Man is up next, followed by the Drumhead, Darmonk, and Tapestry.

Guess which one is on now.
