Patrick Stewart, who played Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, told British tabloid the Daily Express that he loved the new Star Trek so much, he took his grandchildren to see it.

“I loved it,” said Stewart “It was a very, very odd experience to be in the cinema watching a new Star Trek movie that I wasn’t in. With the exception of Leonard Nimoy (the original Spock), I didn’t know any of the cast. But it’s still Star Trek. I got a great kick out of it. [Chris Pine] was brilliant, charming, truthful, funny and utterly delightful.” More Here! »

Patrick Stewart will be lending his voice talents as Max Winters in the animated film Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT). Here’s a little more detail on Patrick’s role: “Max Winters goes mad after he was wrongfully fired and begins amassing an army of ancient monsters. Realizing his plan is succeeding, he is no longer satisfied with vengeance against his ex-employer, but now has thirst for World Domination.”

This was the last film for Oscar-nominated Mako, who will play the voice of Splinter. It was announced at San Diego Comic Con the day before he died (July 21, 2006) at age 72 of esophageal cancer. Fortunately, he had finished the majority of his acting.
