Patrick Stewart's Career Highlight Is Star Trek: The Next Generation... "It Changed Everything."

Patrick Stewart's Career Highlight Was Star Trek: The Next Generation... "It Changed Everything."

We agree, completely.... In an ongoing BBC.co.uk series called "Five Minutes With:", Matthew Stadlen sits down with celebrities and news-makers to question them for exactly five minutes.  With giant clock in hand, Matthew puts Sir Patrick Stewart is in the hot seat.  The Captain revealed that he is learning the harmonica, has been in 28 of the 37 known Shakespearean plays, and that TNG "changed everything" in his life and career.  

Patrick Explains; "Right up until 1987, when I went to Hollywood to start filming Star Trek: The Next Generation, if you didn't go to the Royal Shakespearan Company you'd never heard Patrick Stewart"  

When asked if there had been a highlight in his career, Patrick added; "It would have to be Star Trek: The Next Generation... After that series was such a huge success, which it was immediately, everything was changed for me."

On his love for music, Patrick revealed that he wished that he had been a concert pianist, but instead is learning the harmonica.  "Because you put in your pocket and pull it out and play it, when people least expect it... I'm doing really badly at it."  We don't care how bad it sounds, we want to see that at your next convention.
