Please, please don’t ever ask Patrick Stewart this question
Stewart, who has rarely done comedy, throws himself into “Blunt Talk” with every fiber of his Royal Shakespeare training.
But why this show in particular? Blunt staggers from the first scene into his auto only to find himself suckling on the breasts of a transsexual prostitute while surrounded by cops. The show seems to feel like it needs to temper, or maybe juxtapose, Stewart’s revered nature by throwing him into weird circumstances, but Stewart rises to each challenge with apparent glee, often channeling Robin Williams as he bounces from one moment to the next with earnest gusto.
When he misses a flight to cover a hurricane in Galveston, the producers of his show, named “Blunt Talk“, try to fake it with a green screen and a yellow slicker. “But another important reason is that I had a son in that episode who was played by my son, Daniel Stewart”, Stewart said further.
Actor Patrick Stewart attends the STARZ” “Blunt Talk’ series premiere on August 10, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. “I thought, ‘Wow, Patrick Stewart would look really cool in front of such a background”. Richard Lewis as the network shrink assigned to Walter is underused here but his presence is felt, and the notion that he may be there both for the benefit of helping Walter get healthy and helping the ratings through more nefarious prescriptions was amusing. It’s a very small role in “Henry IV: Part 1” and I was to play small roles throughout that season. I was working at the time at the Bristol Old Vic company.
“We spent hours in a coffee shop on Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn, basically talking about our lives and reminiscing about past experiences”, Stewart says. Our conversation was not so much, what should “Blunt Talk” be, but we talked about our lives, personal interests, anecdotes about the past and so forth. The problem with Blunt Talk is that Walter Blunt is supposed to be the kind of man who commands respect. The great leap forward was sitting alongside Jonathan. What was your sense of the terrain? It’s a playful series, even when it’s being cynical, and could possibly be an acquired taste – the episodes do get better as they go along, and I found myself sort of relaxing and giving in to the story, as though giving up my struggle against drowning and just accepting my own doom.
One user asked about Stewart’s most favorite episode of the 1987 TV series. In terms of the news, the thing I wanted to do in our own way amidst the comedy, was bring up important issues nevertheless. So will Patrick Stewart ever reprise his tole as Captain Picard either in a future movie or television series? “Now let’s move on, shall we?” And so, after two days the poor woman was so frustrated with the service we’d been getting. If I kiss her, do I use tongue? “My favorite episode is ‘Inner Light.’ It was a lovely script, which for me was nearly entirely located away from the Enterprise – and it’s crew”, Stewart said. That was what showed me, in the massive and instantaneous reaction to that tweet, the power of the Internet. And yet, that doesn’t stop the media from implying that this is nothing more than a self-promotional matter and the celebrities are just trying to get attention.
