He has two older brothers, Geoffrey ( b. 28 January 1925, Mirfield ) and Trevor ( b. 10 August 1935, Mirfield ). He was born with no middle name, though used the middle name `` Hewes '' professionally for a while in the 1980s. Stewart grew up in a poor household with domestic violence from his father, an experience which later influenced his political and ideological beliefs. He spent much of his childhood in Jarrow. Stewart 's father served with the King 's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and was regimental sergeant major of the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment during the Second World War, having previously worked as a general labourer and as a postman. As a result of his wartime experience during the Dunkirk evacuation, his father suffered from what was then known as combat fatigue ( related to what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder ). In a 2008 interview, Stewart said, `` My father was a very potent individual, a very powerful man, who got what he wanted. It was said that when he strode onto the parade ground, birds stopped singing. It was many, many years before I realised how my father inserted himself into my work. I 've grown a moustache for Macbeth. My father did n't have one, but when I looked in the mirror just before I went on stage I saw my father 's face staring straight back at me. '' I believed that no woman would ever be interested in me again. I prepared myself for the reality that a large part of my life was over. Patrick Stewart, regarding his becoming bald as a teenager Stewart attended Crowlees Church of England Junior and Infants School. He attributes his acting career to his English teacher, Cecil Dormand, who `` put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand ( and ) said, ' Now get up on your feet and perform. ' '' In 1951, aged 11, having failed the eleven - plus examination, he entered Mirfield Secondary Modern School, where he continued to study drama. Around the same time he met the actor Brian Blessed at a Mytholmroyd drama course, and the two have been friends ever since. At the age of 15, Stewart left school and increased his participation in local theatre. He gained a job as a newspaper reporter and obituary writer at the Mirfield & District Reporter, but after a year his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism, and he left the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart had been attending rehearsals during work time and then inventing the stories he reported. Stewart also trained as a boxer. At the age of 18, he lost his hair due to suffering from alopecia areata, an experience he found traumatic, and became more timid. For him, acting served as a means of self - expression. Both Stewart and his friend Blessed later received grants to attend the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Career Early acting career ( 1966 -- 1987 ) Following a period with Manchester 's Library Theatre, he became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1966, remaining with them until 1982. He was an associate artist of the company in 1968. He appeared with actors such as Ben Kingsley and Ian Richardson. In January 1967, he made his debut TV appearance on Coronation Street as a fire officer. In 1969, he had a brief TV cameo role as Horatio, opposite Ian Richardson 's Hamlet, in a performance of the gravedigger scene as part of episode six of Sir Kenneth Clark 's Civilisation television series. He made his Broadway debut as Snout in Peter Brook 's legendary production of A Midsummer Night 's Dream, then moved to the Royal National Theatre in the early 1980s. Over the years, Stewart took roles in many major television series without ever becoming a household name. He appeared as Vladimir Lenin in Fall of Eagles ; Sejanus in I, Claudius ; Karla in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley 's People ; Claudius in a 1980 BBC adaptation of Hamlet. He even took the romantic male lead in the 1975 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell 's North and South ( wearing a hairpiece ). He also took the lead, playing psychiatric consultant Dr Edward Roebuck in BBC 's Maybury in 1981. Stewart continued to play minor roles in films, such as King Leondegrance in John Boorman 's Excalibur ( 1981 ), the character Gurney Halleck in David Lynch 's film version of Dune ( 1984 ) and Dr. Armstrong in Tobe Hooper 's Lifeforce ( 1985 ). Stewart preferred classical theatre to other genres, asking Doctor Who actress Lalla Ward why she would work in science fiction or on television. In 1987, he nonetheless agreed to work in Hollywood on a revival of an old science - fiction television show, after Robert H. Justman saw him while attending a literary reading at UCLA. Stewart knew nothing about the original show, Star Trek, or its iconic status in American culture. He was reluctant to sign the standard contract of six years but did so as he, his agent, and others with whom Stewart consulted, all believed that the new show would quickly fail, and he would return to his London stage career after making some money. While in Hollywood, he briefly took a middle name, `` Hewes '', to differentiate himself from another Patrick Stewart who was already a member of the Screen Actors Guild. Film and TV career Star Trek : the Next Generation When Stewart began his role as Captain Jean - Luc Picard in Star Trek : The Next Generation ( 1987 -- 94 ), the Los Angeles Times called him an `` unknown British Shakespearean actor ''. Still living out of his suitcase because of his scepticism that the show would succeed, Stewart was unprepared for the long schedule of television production that began at 4 : 45 am each day. He initially experienced difficulty fitting in with his less - disciplined castmates, saying that his `` spirits used to sink '' when required to memorise and recite technobabble. Stewart eventually came to better understand the cultural differences between the stage and television, and his favourite technical line became `` space - time continuum ''. He remained close friends with his fellow Star Trek actors and became their advocate with the producers when necessary. Marina Sirtis credited Stewart with `` at least 50 %, if not more '' of the show 's success because others imitated his professionalism and dedication to acting. It really was n't until the first season ended ( when ) I went to my first Star Trek convention... ( I ) had expected that I would be standing in front of a few hundred people and found that there were two and a half thousand people and that they already knew more about me than I could ever possibly have believed. Stewart, on when he realised he had become famous Stewart unexpectedly became wealthy because of the show 's great success. In 1992, during a break in filming, Stewart calculated that he earned more during that break than from 10 weeks of Woolf in London. From 1994 to 2002, he also portrayed Picard in the films Star Trek Generations ( 1994 ), Star Trek : First Contact ( 1996 ), Star Trek : Insurrection ( 1998 ) and Star Trek : Nemesis ( 2002 ) ; and in Star Trek : Deep Space Nine 's pilot episode `` Emissary '', and received a 1995 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for `` Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series ''. When asked in 2011 for the highlight of his career, he chose Star Trek : The Next Generation, `` because it changed everything ( for me ). '' He has also said he is very proud of his work on Star Trek : The Next Generation, for its social message and educational impact on young viewers. When questioned about the significance of his role compared to his distinguished Shakespearean career, Stewart has said that : `` The fact is all of those years in Royal Shakespeare Company -- playing all those kings, emperors, princes and tragic heroes -- were nothing but preparation for sitting in the captain 's chair of the Enterprise. '' The accolades Stewart has received include the readers of TV Guide in 1992 choosing him with Cindy Crawford, of whom he had never heard, as television 's `` most bodacious '' man and woman. In an interview with Michael Parkinson, he expressed gratitude for Gene Roddenberry 's riposte to a reporter who said, `` Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century, '' to which Roddenberry replied, `` In the 24th century, they would n't care. '' X-Men film series `` It came to a point where I had no idea where Picard began and I ended. We completely overlapped. His voice became my voice, and there were other elements of him that became me ''... No director in Hollywood wanted to cast this grand, deep - voiced, bald English guy because everybody knew he was Picard and could n't possibly be anybody else. In the event, he effectively reprised the part as Professor Charles Xavier -- a grand, deep - voiced, bald English guy -- in the X-Men films. -- Interview, The Times The success of the Star Trek : The Next Generation TV and film franchises typecast Stewart as Picard and obtaining other roles became difficult. He also found returning to the stage difficult because of his long departure. He commented that he would never have joined The Next Generation had he known that it would air for seven years : `` No, no. NO. And looking back now it still frightens me a little bit to think that so much of my life was totally devoted to Star Trek and almost nothing else. '' However, in the late 1990s he accepted a key role in the big - budget X-Men film series, as Professor Charles Xavier, founder and mentor of the superhero team, a role similar in many ways to Picard. He was initially reluctant to sign on to another movie franchise, but his interest in working with director Bryan Singer persuaded him. Stewart has played the role in seven feature films ( X-Men, X2, X-Men : The Last Stand, X-Men Origins : Wolverine, The Wolverine, X-Men : Days of Future Past and Logan ) and voiced the role in several video games ( X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends II, and X-Men : Next Dimension ). Stewart announced that he is leaving the X-Men film franchise after Logan, which will thus be the final time he plays the role. Documentaries In 2011, Stewart appeared in the feature - length documentary The Captains alongside William Shatner ( who played Star Trek Captain James Kirk ) -- Shatner also wrote and directed the film. In the film, Shatner interviews actors who have portrayed captains within the Star Trek franchise. The film pays a great deal of attention to Shatner 's interviews with Stewart at his home in Oxfordshire, as well as at a Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada ; Stewart reveals the fear and personal failings that came along with his tenure as a Starfleet captain, and also the great triumphs he believes accompanied his role as Captain Jean - Luc Picard. Other film and television Stewart 's other film and television roles include the flamboyantly gay Sterling in the 1995 film Jeffrey and King Henry II in The Lion in Winter, for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance and an Emmy Award nomination for executive - producing the film. He portrayed Captain Ahab in the 1998 made - for - television film version of Moby Dick, receiving an Emmy Award nomination and Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance. He also starred as Scrooge in a 1999 television film version of Charles Dickens ' A Christmas Carol, receiving a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his performance. In late 2003, during the 11th and final season of NBC 's Frasier, Stewart appeared on the show as a gay Seattle socialite and opera director, who mistakes Frasier for a potential lover. In July 2003, he appeared in Series 2 ( Episode 09 ) of Top Gear in the Star in a Reasonably - Priced Car segment, achieving a time of 1 : 50 in the Liana. In 2005, he was cast as Professor Ian Hood in an ITV thriller 4 - episode series Eleventh Hour, created by Stephen Gallagher. The first episode was broadcast on 19 January 2006. He also, in 2005, played Captain Nemo in a two - part adaptation of The Mysterious Island. Stewart also appeared as a nudity - obsessed caricature of himself in Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant 's television series Extras. Stage ( 1990 -- present ) After The Next Generation began, Stewart soon found that he missed acting on the stage. Although he remained associated with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the lengthy filming for the series had prevented him from participating in most other works, leaving a `` gaping hole '' of many years in his CV as a Shakespearean actor, causing him to miss opportunities to play such notable roles as Hamlet, Romeo, and Richard III. Instead, Stewart began writing one - man shows that he performed in California universities and acting schools. One of these -- a version of Charles Dickens 's A Christmas Carol in which he portrayed all 40 - plus characters -- became ideal for him as an actor as well, because of its limited performing schedule. In 1991, Stewart performed it on Broadway, receiving a nomination for that year 's Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One - Person Show. He staged encore performances in 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996, again for the benefit of survivors and victims ' families in the 11 September attacks, and a 23 - day run in London 's West End in December 2005. For his performances in this play, Stewart has received the Drama Desk Award for Best Solo Performance in 1992 and the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment for Solo Performance in 1994. He was also the co-producer of the show, through the company he set up for the purpose : Camm Lane Productions, a reference to his birthplace in Camm Lane, Mirfield. Stewart with actors Ian McKellen and Billy Crudup at a 24 September 2013 press junket at Sardi 's restaurant for Waiting for Godot and No Man 's Land Shakespeare roles during this period included Prospero in Shakespeare 's The Tempest, on Broadway in 1995, a role he would reprise in Rupert Goold 's 2006 production of The Tempest as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company 's Complete Works Festival. In 1997, he took the role of Othello with the Shakespeare Theatre Company ( Washington, D.C. ) in a race - bending performance, in a `` photo negative '' production of a white Othello with an otherwise all - black cast. Stewart had wanted to play the title role since the age of 14, so he and director Jude Kelly inverted the play so Othello became a comment on a white man entering a black society. ( London theatre ) critics... have showered him with perhaps the highest compliment they can conjure. He has, they say, overcome the technique - destroying indignity of being a major American television star. The New York Times, 2008 He played Antony again opposite Harriet Walter 's Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra at the Novello Theatre in London in 2007 to excellent reviews. During this period, Stewart also addressed the Durham Union Society on his life in film and theatre. When Stewart began playing Macbeth in the West End in 2007, some said that he was too old for the role ; he and the show again received excellent reviews, with one critic calling Stewart `` one of our finest Shakespearean actors ''. He was named as the next Cameron Mackintosh Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theatre based at St Catherine 's College, Oxford in January 2007. In 2008, Stewart played King Claudius in Hamlet alongside David Tennant. He won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for the part. When collecting his award, he dedicated the award `` in part '' to Tennant and Tennant 's understudy Edward Bennett, after Tennant 's back injury and subsequent absence from four weeks of Hamlet disqualified him from an Olivier nomination. In 2009, Stewart appeared alongside Ian McKellen as the lead duo of Vladimir ( Didi ) and Estragon ( Gogo ), in Waiting for Godot. Stewart had previously appeared only once alongside McKellen on stage, but the pair had developed a close friendship while waiting around on set filming the X-Men films. Stewart stated that performing in this play was the fulfilment of a 50 - year ambition, having seen Peter O'Toole appear in it at the Bristol Old Vic while Stewart was just 17. Reviewers stated that his interpretation captured well the balance between humour and despair that characterises the work.

Charity work and activism In 2006, Stewart made a short video against domestic violence for Amnesty International, in which he recollected his father 's physical attacks on his mother and the effect it had on him as a child. For instance, he said, `` the physical harm... ( was ) a shocking pain. But there are other aspects of violence which have more lasting impact psychologically on family members. It is destructive and tainting. As a child witnessing these events, one can not simply help somehow feeling responsible for them ; for the pain, and the screaming, and the misery. '' In the same year, he gave his name to a scholarship at the University of Huddersfield, where he is Chancellor, to fund post-graduate study into domestic violence. Stewart 's childhood experience also led him to become a patron of Refuge, a UK charity for abused women.

He remarked, `` violence is a choice and it 's a choice a man makes... the lasting impact on my mother... and indeed on myself... was extreme. Overcoming the lessons of that male stereotype that I was being shown was a struggle. '' He now hopes to set an example of `` what it has been like to be in an environment of such violence and that it can pass and that one can survive it and even though sometimes still a struggle.
