He is most widely known for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' and its successor films, as Professor Charles Xavier in the ''X-Men'' film series of superhero movies (2000–present), his prolific stage roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and his many voice acting roles, most notably as CIA deputy director Avery Bullock in ''American Dad!''. In 1993, ''TV Guide'' named him the best dramatic television actor of the 1980s. ==Early life== Patrick Stewart〔''People of Today'': Debrett, London, 2007〕 was born on 13 July 1940 in Mirfield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. He is the son of Gladys (née Barrowclough), a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army. He has two older brothers, Geoffrey (b. 28 January 1925, Mirfield) and Trevor (b. 10 August 1935, Mirfield).〔("Mirfield star Sir Patrick Stewart delves into family history" ) 2 September 2012 ''Dewbury Reporter''.〕〔Patrick Stewart – Who Do You Think You Are (UK) S09E03. Accessed 19 January 2015.〕 Stewart grew up in a poor household with domestic violence from his father, an experience which later influenced his political and ideological beliefs. He spent much of his childhood in Jarrow.〔(Family detective - Telegraph )〕 Stewart's father served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and was Regimental Sergeant Major of the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment during the Second World War, having previously worked as a general labourer and as a postman. As a result of his wartime experience during the Dunkirk evacuation, his father suffered from what was then known as combat fatigue (related to what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder). In a 2008 interview, Stewart said, "My father was a very potent individual, a very powerful man who got what he wanted. It was said that when he strode onto the parade ground, birds stopped singing. It was many, many years before I realized how my father inserted himself into my work. I've grown a moustache for ''Macbeth''. My father didn't have one, but when I looked in the mirror just before I went on stage I saw my father's face staring straight back at me." Stewart attended Crowlees Church of England Junior and Infants School.〔("Heartfelt hello from an old pal... Hollywood star Patrick calls after message" ), Jenny Parkin, The Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 19 December 2003〕 He attributes his acting career to an English teacher named Cecil Dormand who "put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand () said, 'Now get up on your feet and perform. In 1951, aged 11, he entered Mirfield Secondary Modern School,〔Revealed in interview on the 'Parkinson' show, ITV-1, 12 May 2007〕 where he continued to study drama. At age 15, Stewart left school and increased his participation in local theatre. He acquired a job as a newspaper reporter and obituary writer at the ''Mirfield & District Reporter'', but after a year, his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism. He quit the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart would attend rehearsals during work time and then invent the stories he reported. Stewart also trained as a boxer.〔 He lost his hair at the age of 18. The traumatic experience made Stewart timid, and he found that acting served as a means of self-expression. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Patrick Stewart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
