Sir Patrick Stewart (born July 13, 1940) is an British film, television and stage actor. He has had a distinguished career in theatre and television for around half a century. He is most widely known for his television and film roles, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and as Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films. Stewart was born in Mirfield near Dewsbury in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, the son of Gladys, a weaver and textile worker, and Alfred Stewart, a Regimental Sergeant Major in the British Army who served with the King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry and previously worked as a general labourer and as a postman. Stewart and his first wife, Sheila Falconer, have two children: Daniel Freedom and Sophie Alexandra. Stewart and Falconer divorced in 1990. In 1997, he became engaged to Wendy Neuss, one of the producers of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and they married on 25 August 2000, divorcing three years later. Four months prior to his divorce from Neuss, Stewart played opposite actress Lisa Dillon in a production of The Master Builder. The two dated for four years, but are no longer together. He is now seeing Sunny Ozell; at 31, she is younger than his daughter. "I just don't meet women of my age," he explains. Stewart has been a prolific actor in performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company, appearing in over 60 productions.
As mutants—humans born with extraordinary abilities—begin revealing themselves to the world, Professor Charles Xavier establishes the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters to train them to control their powers and coexist peacefully. Among his first students are Beast, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine, and Jean Grey, who together form the X-Men. Their mission becomes urgent when the Brotherhood of Mutants, led by the powerful Magneto, launches attacks on humans to assert mutant dominance. Mystique, Sabretooth, Rogue, and Gambit among others join his cause, forcing the X-Men into escalating battles that test their powers. Rogue and Gambit witness the consequences of Magneto’s vision and choose a new path, defecting to the X-Men and helping turn the tide. The team works together to stop the Brotherhood’s campaign, preventing widespread destruction and proving that mutants can protect humanity rather than threaten it. The X-Men are established as a heroic force, ready to defend a world that is only beginning to understand the potential—and responsibility—of mutantkind.
