Sir Patrick Stewart OBE is one of the most beloved English crossover actors in history. He has the unique ability to be a stage actor, a television actor and a film actor. He knows how to make people laugh and when it’s appropriate to be a stern thespian as well. Stewart is famous for his roles as Professor X in the X-Men film franchise, as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and for playing King Claudius in Hamlet on London’s West End. He has been nominated for Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys and has won a Grammy, and a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor.

Remember a couple years ago when the Ice Bucket Challenge was all over social media? The trend was an initiative to assist in ALS research and bring more light to the condition. Patrick refused to do the challenge, instead opting for the much more subdued and classic path of a YouTube video of his own, showing him sitting at a desk, drinking water from an ice bucket and writing a check for the ALS charity. Smooth move as per usual, Sir Stewart.
