For Sir Patrick Stewart<\/strong>, his Star Trek<\/em> days are behind him and he’s unlikely to revisit the franchise as an actor.<\/p>\n Stewart made his comments about Star Trek<\/em> at the Chivas Legends Dinner<\/em>, where he was recognized for his film and television achievements.<\/p>\n When asked if he could ever be tempted to reprise his role in Star Trek<\/em>, Stewart said, “Well, it would have to be a very big temptation \u2013 and I’m not talking about money. I mean, it would have to be a new, exciting and unusual idea. I’m very proud of the seven years, the 178 episodes and four movies we made. I’m also proud that we’ve helped sustain the popularity of a franchise that’s still ongoing. So, if J.J. Abrams<\/strong> or Paramount<\/em> were to come up with a really novel idea, then I think it might possibly be entertaining. But I can tell you now, it ain’t gonna happen.”<\/p>\n Stewart will be seen next year on a new television comedy to be produced by Seth MacFarlane<\/strong>, called Blunt Talk<\/em>, where he will take on the role of a Stephen Colbert-<\/strong>type British TV host of a cable news show. The actor is thrilled to be working on a comedy show. “I’ve had an urge to do more comedy for years, but I was so rarely offered parts,” he said. “The most memorable figures I’ve played, from Charles Xavier of X-Men <\/em>or Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek<\/em>, are not exactly full of laughs. But in recent years, I’ve been able to show another face of Patrick Stewart, which I hope is amusing, self-mocking, irreverent and sometimes even a bit coarse.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For Sir Patrick Stewart, his Star Trek days are behind him and he’s unlikely to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[8099,2440],"class_list":["post-38291","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-chivas-legends-dinner","tag-stewart"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast & Crew","comment_count":"16","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38291"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38291\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38297,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38291\/revisions\/38297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
