Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 14, 2010 I was also waiting for Sir Patrick to say "Oh, hi, it's the idiot again!" or something! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted June 14, 2010 It seems as both Brent and Sir Patrick were having fun with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 16, 2010 I'm kinda frustrated that John de Lancie will show up on Thursday... I'm still waiting for someone to put these two on a stage together at a convention. Humph. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 16, 2010 Does deLance do the convention thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 16, 2010 ^ Yeah, he does. Shows up at conventions on a regular basis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) DeLancie is a real trooper at conventions too. I saw him years ago at a Chicago con held during a bad snowstorm where only 300 people showed up. He was half sick but made his con appearance. He is said to be a big hit on the Star Trek cruises too. Mrs. Picard, are you going to the Vegas con?

At this point I couldn't even afford a taxi to the nearest airport, much less a flight ticket to the US or the hopelessly expensive Vegas ticket stuff. :) (I'm not a big fan of conventions, though, it's fine that I can't go. I prefer meeting him at the stage door after a play, actually. He's a lot less stressed then.) News! Sir Patrick is in Edinburgh right now, attending a movie premiere. Here is a red carpet picture!

Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 16, 2010 ^ I know! I have a hunch that they would, at some point, fall back into their roles and start bickering. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 17, 2010 Sir Patrick appeared at the Edinburgh Film Festival again today - this time he was dressed more than just appropriately: He was wearing a kilt! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 18, 2010 And now a full body shot of Sir Patrick and his kilt! 1 CurtisEt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted June 18, 2010 It took a while for this to load on my phone. At first when you said "body shot" I thought you meant... Well, never mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted June 18, 2010 I just can not see wearing a kilt with tie and dress coat it looks odd too me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 19, 2010 Haha it did look a bit odd, but I'm quite happy about the fact that he chose to wear a kilt in the first place! :) News: He was attending the Edinburgh Film Festival yesterday again as well, which means there are pictures that can be found over here.

Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 22, 2010 Click here in order to have a look at pictures of Sir Patrick from yesterday's Q&A session at the Edinburgh Film Festival! Oh and there's a rather interesting article as well: Sir Patrick Stewart, the actor and special guest at this year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival, was visibly moved last night as he spoke of the effect he has had on the fans of his most famous role, the Star Trek captain Jean-Luc Picard. Speaking at a sold-out Bafta Scotland interview at the festival, the acclaimed stage and screen actor had tears in his eyes as he told of his “favourite ever letter”, which he received from an American police officer. Stewart, who played the character on television from 1987 until 1994, said the officer told him that the only thing that helped him deal with the feeling that evil had triumphed in the world was to reach for a Star Trek video and admire the moral, upstanding character the actor played. He was unable to continue the anecdote, as he became too upset. The 69-year-old, who was questioned on stage by Alan Morrison, arts editor of the Sunday Herald, also said: “After a while on Star Trek, it became a question of where Jean-Luc ended and I began. “Eventually I began to realise, and it never occurred to me before, that if there is not a significant part of you in the character you are going to play, then it won’t be too interesting.” He added: “There was a point where it became an albatross: a producer who I was lobbying for a part once said to me – why would I want Jean-Luc Picard in my film? “So I resisted playing another role like that, Professor X in the X-Men series, for a long time. But another actor said to me: you can never have enough franchises in your career.” Stewart, chairman of the festival’s Michael Powell Jury, which selects the best new British feature film, said he initially took the Star Trek role because he did not expect the series to last very long, and friends had told him to “go to LA, get a tan, and some cash in your pocket for a change.” Stewart said of being at the festival: “I have had one of the best weeks of my life: being in Edinburgh, in this city, with this fabulous weather, watching film after film for the jury, it has been a delight.” Asked by an audience member if there were any roles he regretted taking, Stewart said one film did not appear on his own CV: Wild Geese 2, in which he played a Russian army officer. “Hold your nose, for the smell of bad acting by me in that film,” he said. He said he took the role because it paid £2000, exactly the sum it cost to fix his leaky roof at the time. Source What the hell is it with him bashing Wild Geese II so much lately? His performance isn't THAT bad - he's barely even in the movie! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted June 23, 2010 I suspect he is the type that expects his best at all times. That is why he does so well. 1 CurtisEt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 24, 2010 Indeed. He is very critical towards himself... in this case, too critical IMO. He did fine. The Russian officer didn't even have a name, after all. He wasn't an important character or something. But then, that's Sir Patrick - expecting perfection from himself even when it comes to tiny roles... ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted June 25, 2010 Sir Patrick is now scheduled to appear at the Chicago Comic Con - click here for more information. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekz 7 Posted June 25, 2010 Thanks for the heads up on the Chicago Comic Con, another place to spend money lol! Also appearing: Linda Blair, Adam West and the last 4 Cylon actors from Battlestar Galactica. Does Patrick come to the US a lot? Is he perhaps staying a bit in August, since he is in Vegas in early August for the Star Trek con there? Or does he jet back and forth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is he perhaps staying a bit in August, since he is in Vegas in early August for the Star Trek con there? Or does he jet back and forth? He will be traveling to China next during July (University of Huddersfield business) and then he'll head back to the US at the end of July/beginning of August for a few conventions and all. He'll do a play on Broadway in NYC, rehearsals start on August 23rd (which is why he appears Friday & Saturday at Comic Con and not his usual Saturday & Sunday). He expects to be in the US for pretty much quite some time during summer/fall. And yes, he comes to the US a lot... partly for personal reasons and partly because he has to record American Dad episodes and sometimes other voicework. :) I wish he would show up at Shore Leave just once! Depends on when it is. If he can make it and if he gets an invitation, he might show up. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethlehem 7 Posted June 25, 2010 I should try too find a way too Vegas and see him. It is only 10hrs away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted June 25, 2010 Sir Patrick was once more at the Philadelphia Comic Con today - and once more Brent Spiner crashed into his Q&A session! Watch the HILARIOUS video over ! "You don't have to call me sir all the time." "Sorry, sir.""Do you live with The Queen now?" "You understand the word qualify?" - "Sir?" "It doesn't hide the fact that you are Data the android." "SIR Data the android." If the guy filming it hadn't laughed so much we might have been able to hear what was said. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Sir Patrick attended the fundraising party for the Old Vic Theatre yesterday - and he brought his son Daniel and his wife along. Click here for a picture! Edited July 3, 2010 by Mrs.Picard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Picard 12 Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Wow! is his wife hot. No wonder he was able to resist so much temptation on Star Trek LOL it's not his wife. (He is not married.)
