Not Jean-Luc!!!!

I liked Patrick Stewart. He was a great actor.

Definitely the best Professor Xavier.

Rest in peace, Sir.

He was a Shakesperean to the core.

And his portrayal of MacBeth was superb.

Very talented and entertaining actor. I remember him going back about fifty years. Excalibur. The original Dune movie. Conspiracy Theory. All those X-Men movies. (To say nothing of Star Trek SNG.)

Really an international icon.
