British actor Patrick Stewart, renowned for his roles in the “Star Trek” and “X-Men” franchises, has died at the age of 86, according to an official statement released on Thursday.
“We announce with great sorrow the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart yesterday at his home in Los Angeles, in the loving care of his beloved wife, Sunny, following a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia,” the statement said.
Stewart, who hailed from Yorkshire in northern England, began his acting career on the British stage, performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company, before moving to the United States, where he built an acclaimed career in film, television, and theatre.
He became widely recognised for portraying Captain Jean-Luc Picard in “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and Professor Charles Xavier in several “X-Men” and related Marvel films.
His career and performances earned him a lasting place in both science fiction and Hollywood.
“His sonorous voice and singular talent will forever be synonymous with indelible performances in every genre,” the statement said.
“He explored the human condition in all its poetic complexity and brought hope not only to the far reaches of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but into science fiction’s most iconic final frontier aboard the Starship Enterprise.”
