Remember Patrick Stewart by Streaming Star Trek, X-Men and Other Genre-Defining Roles

Celebrate the life of Patrick Stewart through his iconic roles in TV and movies.

Patrick Stewart, the legendary actor known to many as Captain Jean-Luc Picard from the Star Trek universe and Professor Charles Xavier from the X-Men movie franchise, died on Wednesday at age 86. An Instagram post announcing the news says Stewart passed after a brief battle with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.

When looking back at the slate of work Stewart put out into the world, you’ll find over six decades worth of performances. The actor cut his teeth in the world of Shakespearean stage productions and smaller TV projects, mostly in the UK, before he broke out into mainstream popularity in 1987, leading the crew of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Along with Picard, he’s most known for the role of Professor Charles Xavier, the wheelchair-using leader of the X-Men. His final performance as Professor X will be seen in Avengers: Doomsday later this year.

To remember Stewart, you can tune in to many of his projects on various streaming services. Since I’ve stuck to roles that can be streamed, his memorable performances as Ebenezer Scrooge in 1999’s A Christmas Carol, John Thornton in 1975’s North & South and the ghost of Hamlet’s father in 2009’s Hamlet, for instance, aren’t listed.

Stewart made Star Trek an obsession for me growing up, and his performance as Captain Jean-Luc Picard is simply iconic.
