What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admirationย for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace ๐

Just learned that Patrick Stewart has passed away. Such a sad loss. Here he is in one of the best things ever put on television, the Star Trek episode โThe Measure of a Man.โ I show it to my students in Philosophy and Science Fiction every year.
Oh no. Very sad news. A brilliant Shakespearean actor who trained at the Bristol Old Vic and would also go on to become a beloved pop culture icon. Twice. First as Captain Picard and then as Professor X. One of the greats. Condolences to his family and friends. #RIPSirPatStew

Best known as Pavel Chekov in #StarTrek but arguably his greatest role was as the charismatic devious ruthless Psi Cop Alfred Bester in #Babylon5 . Whatever. Both wonderful. #RIPWalterKoenig - No more looking for those nuclear wessels. ๐ข

Bringing style, wit and charisma to the role of Bond.
Remembering Sir Roger Moore on what would have been his 99th birthday.
RIP Eva Marie Saint. 102 years old. Beautiful and brilliant Oscar winning actress who co-starred in my favourite Hitchcock and was Superman's mum back in 2006 amongst many roles in a long and varied career. โฅ๏ธ

Only Laurel & Hardy could turn a simple dog bite into such a glorious tangle of confusion. Stanโs earnestness, and Ollieโs growing exasperation make you wonder how these two ever managed to survive a telephone call. From the film "Helpmates" (1932) - proving that with the boys, the less sense it makes, the funnier it is. One of my favorites.

Remembering lovely Jim Henson, born today in 1936.
