Patrick Stewart, who plays Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men movie series, lamented at a Cannes Film Festival press conference
recently that he hasn't been asked to be in the Harry Potter films.
"Every single actor over 60 in England is in the Harry Potter movies," he replied when asked if he wanted to continue doing fantasy films. "I am still smarting from the fact that Ian McKellen starred in Lord of the Rings and apparently there was no part in it for me."
Prior to the X-Men films, Stewart was best known for his role as Jean-Luc Picard in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation.
X-Men: The Last Stand opens in theatres this weekend.
Thanks to Angie for the tip!

That is so cool that he wanted to be part of the Harry Potter movies. The bad thing is that I don't see him for any of the Harry Potter characters. too bad for him.

Dude they need to put him in. He's a better actor than some of the people they have them. It would just be a question of what part would he fit in.

Though I certainly do not hate Gambon, I do think Patrick Stewart would make a SPECTACULAR Dumbledore. I wonder if this comment will have any effect on casting of HBP.....

I whole-heartedly agree with AvalonKarma... I could totally see Patrick Stewart as Dumbledore! I think he would play DD as we all picture from JK's books.

Seems like they would be able to find him a place somewhere. He is an excellent actor. I liked him in Star Trek anyway... I am sure they can find a place for him.

Back of the line, I say. There are so people interested in being in HP, it doesn't matter if you're famous or not; you've gotta have "it" and apparently he just hasn't fit JKR or any of the director's view. Sorry, Patrick.

I adore Patrick Stewart, he can be a one-man show in himself. Maybe he could play Scrimgeour? He's pretty tall for Slughorn. Bring in Patrick Stewart!

Ohh, I feel soo sad for him, he is soo cute. Actually what he says is true, all major actors are in the movies, I hope they can make space for him.

I would LOVE it if Patrick Stewart was in the Harry Potter films. OH! I'm trying so hard to think of who he could play. Hmmm... What about Borgin? or Burke? Especially from book 6, where we see him interact with Tom Riddle.
