Patrick Stewart

Sir Patrick Stewart OBE is an English actor with a six-decade career in theatrical performances, television, cinema, and video games. He has received Olivier, Tony, Golden Globe, Emmy, Screen Actors Guild, and Saturn Award nominations. Stewart's roles as Captain of the USS Enterprise and Professor Xavier alone would make him one of today's most well-known thespians. With almost two decades in each of these companies, his presence has a sensitivity and a true feeling of time.

His recent chilly and pragmatic turn in the persistently tense Green Room is just another reminder that he is a multifaceted talent who cannot be boxed in. Stewart is more known for his theatrical work, although outside of his two series, he isn't a particularly prolific film actor. A ranking this high demonstrates how well-liked his roles in the Star Trek franchise and the X-Men flicks are.
