Patrick Hewes Stewart, OBE (born July 13, 1940) is an Emmy and Golden Globe-nominated English film, television and stage actor. He is also Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield.2 Stewart has had a distinguished career in theatre for nearly fifty years, including performances as various characters in Shakespearean productions. However, he is perhaps most widely known for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise in http://bestuff.com/Star Trek: The Next Generation, and as Professor Xavier in the X-Men films.
Stewart was born in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England to Gladys Barrowclough, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army who served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and previously worked as a general labourer and as a postman.3 He attended Crowlees C of E Junior and Infants School,4 and in 1951, aged 12, he entered Mirfield Secondary Modern School,5 where he continued to study drama.
At age 15, Stewart dropped out of school and increased his participation in local theatre. He acquired a job as a newspaper reporter, but after a year, his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism.6 He quit the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart would attend rehearsals during work time and then invent the stories he reported.
