Patrick Stewart, or Sir Patrick if you will, is slowly getting used to his title.  "It's beginning to feel, day by day, a little more comfortable." He explains, "But tonight to hear my name linked like that with Sir Ian McKellen was perhaps so far the highlight of this event."

Sir Patrick was in London for the Whatsonstage.com theatre awards where he picked up 2 honors. One for supporting actor as Claudius in "Hamlet and the other he shared with fellow actor and Knight of Relm Sir Ian McKellen for "Waiting For Godot".

Patrick also confirmed that he'll be starring in two other plays this year, "Bingo" fictional account of the last days of William Shakespeare and the other as yet to be announced.

About his future theatre endeavors, Patrick says, "There's a whole list of Shakespeare roles I have never played - Falstaff, Lear, Bottom - and some that I wouldn't mind looking at again."

To bad there aren't any named Picard...
