Patrick Stewart speaks to LATimesTVLloyd about saying goodbye to his 'Star Trek' character after seven seasons of “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” four feature films, and three seasons of 'Picard.'
, brings down the curtain on the character and, in bringing back most of the original show’s cast, “The Next Generation” saga as well. I spoke with Stewart, 82, a genial, funny, casually dapper gent, at the home he shares with his wife, singer Sunny Ozell — an old Spanish-style house on a leafy Los Angeles street, purchased just before the pandemic. Stewart had watched the finale that morning, and he had thoughts and more.
Jumping forward many years, he set up a sort of institution which was run by Murph and myself and another actor, may he rest in peace, called Tony Church, and we went to Santa Barbara [where Swander taught] and did a week of classes, and we’d go to UCLA and up to Santa Cruz — it was mostly the University of California circuit. I got to know some of the teachers very well.
Patrick Stewart says he found the per-episode salary he was offered when he first took the role of Jean-Luc Picard “incomprehensible.”Impressions ... not good. What I learned many months later was that one of the producers of this new series, which I’d never heard of —I may have heard of it. When my children were young, I used to race home from the theater in Stratford after the matinee so I could help with their supper and read them a story before racing back to do an evening performance.
