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!

First of all, who doesn't want to be in Harry Potter movies? Still, he does a good job in X Men 3. Maybe he can still get in to the 6th or 7th film? Who knows!

maybe we should all start a petition -- get RID of Gambom as Dumbledore, to make way for Patrick Stewart. This guy LOVES sci-fi and fantasy. I'll bet he's even a closet HP fan!

Well now isn't this interesting...from Star Trek to HP...hhmmm. I need to dwell on this idea further. I love Patrick Stewart and I love HP. He has the talent and the accent! HHmmm...Still not convinced. I clearly think I need to dwell longer on this. Let me go Venn Diagram the pros and cons of Patrick Stewart in HP and get back to you on it. (Giggling wildly with amusement in myself.)

I think he would be good in the movies. I just can't think of a part he could play right now. It's cool that he wants to be in the movies. I bet the roles for the movies are really hard to get.

What part would he play? Thats the real question. That is pretty funny though, he doesn't really seem like the Harry Potter type. Well to star in the movie anyway is just kind of strange.
Long Live Dumbledore

Although he is a brilliant actor, I really can't say what role would've suited him best ... Dumbledore? Nah ... Voldemort? Never!!
