Tags: Talking Movies, Patrick Stewart



In the second of Tom Brook's Tony interviews, he chats with Patrick Stewart, who was up for a Best Actor award for his role in Macbeth. (He lost to his fellow British Shakespearean actor, Mark Rylance, and Stewart remarks that Rylance's performance was "dazzling" in Boeing-Boeing).

Seriously, the man doesn't seem to have aged since playing Captain Picard. Check him out:

If you play at that level, you've got to be pretty good at what you do. I've had a little bit of time to reflect on my career, not that I do it a great deal, and the underlying theme to all of this is, what is success? What is success? Is it being a pro player able to make a living out of the game, is it being in the top 100, the top 50, the top 10? I know that in every facet of the game, in preparation, training, tournaments, I gave 100 per cent. I got everything I could out of my career, but it's part of our culture, the environment I've been brought up in [to criticise]. I don't have a problem with it." (The Independent)

  • Viva Blackpool writer Peter Bowker has written a three-part miniseries about three British soldiers in Iraq. It will be produced by Kudos and will air on BBC1 next year. (The Stage)
