Jonathan Frakes had to borrow Avery Brooks's uniform and LeVar Burton had to borrow Colm Meaney's uniform from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", neither of which fit the actors very well (Frakes had to roll up the sleeves and Burton's is obviously too big for him.) |

| Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season 3 [1989] |
| The original version of the Starfleet uniform was very uncomfortable for the actors, leading to a change of design from one-piece to a two-piece outfit in [Season Three]. Although the new uniforms were easier to wear, the jackets had a tendency to "ride up" when the actors were sitting down. Patrick Stewart got into the habit of straightening his jacket with a sharp downward tug as he stood up, an action that became known among the cast and crew as "The Picard Maneuver" (from a tactical maneuver mentioned in the show). |

| X-Men: First Class [2011] |
| Matthew Vaughn instructed the cast to do away with all accents in their performances. James McAvoy had planned to copy Patrick Stewart's voice (since McAvoy was going to play a younger version of Stewart's Xavier), but Vaughn quashed it; Vaughn also told Rose Byrne that Moira MacTaggart would not have her trademark Scottish accent in the film (to the Scottish McAvoy's mild disappointment). |
| X-Men: The Last Stand [2006] |
| Ian McKellen (Eric Lensherr/Magneto) and Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier) had 20 years shaved off their features for the opening sequence. The filmmakers used digital technology to match current features to those in old photos. Stewart's "de-aged" effect in the opening scene was based on publicity photos from the first season of [Star Trek: The Next Generation]. |
| X-Men: Days of Future Past [2014] |
| Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were performing in a touring production of "Waiting for Godot" when Bryan Singer approached the actors about reprising their respective roles as Professor X and Magneto. According to McKellen, both men were utterly shocked as they thought they'd passed their roles on to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, and would never play the characters again. Both Stewart and McKellen were delighted to return to two of their most popular roles, and to work with the younger actors playing the same characters as well. |
| According to Bryan Singer, he could only get the film started with confidence once Hugh Jackman and Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen agreed to return. |
| Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender, who play the future/past versions of Professor Xavier and Magneto, have all played the title role in film adaptations of Macbeth. |
| When Hank hacks the surveillance monitors, one of the shows seen on the screen is the [Star Trek] episode {The Naked Time}. Patrick Stewart would appear in [Star Trek: The Next Generation] as the second Enterprise captain Jean-Luc Picard; moreover Picard would encounter and converse with his future self in the episode {Time Squared} on averting a disaster. |
| This isn't the first time Patrick Stewart has used time travel to stop a group of robotic creatures from taking over the Earth. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Stewart) travelled back in time to stop the Borg in Star Trek: First Contact. |

| Scheduling conflicts with Star Trek: The Next Generation forced Patrick Stewart to turn down the role of King Triton. |
| Aladdin [1992] |
| Scheduling conflicts with Star Trek: The Next Generation forced Patrick Stewart to turn down the role of Jafar. He has said in interviews that this is his biggest regret. |
| Pocahontas [1995] |
| Sean Bean was considered to voice John Smith; however, Disney felt they needed an actor well known in America. Brian Cox, Rupert Everett, Stephen Fry, and Patrick Stewart were considered for the role of Governor Ratcliffe. |
| The Pagemaster [1994] |
| This movie stars four regular cast members from various Star Trek television series: Patrick Stewart; Leonard Nimoy (Dr. Jekyll has Vulcan shaped ears); Whoopi Goldberg and Robert Picardo. As well as this movie featuring four Star Trek regulars, it also starred two actors who have Star Trek connections: Christopher Lloyd, who played Klingon Commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Ed Begley Jr., who played Henry Starling in two episodes of [Star Trek: Voyager] namely {Future's End: Parts 1 and 2}. |
| Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Stewart recorded their dialogue together. |
| Chicken Little [2005] |
| This is the First Movie in the Disney Animated feature Lineup to have a character voiced by Patrick Stewart. Stewart tried out for Characters in previous Disney Animated Feature films prior, but wasn't lucky enough. These include:
*Francis in Oliver & Company
*King Triton in The Little Mermaid
*Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast
*Jafar in Aladdin
*Zazu in The Lion King
*Ratcliffe in Pocahontas
*Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame
*Zeus in Hercules
*Clayton in Tarzan |
| Tarzan [1999] |
| Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were both seriously considered for Clayton before Brian Blessed auditioned for it, the directors felt his deep booming voice would be perfect for the character. |
| Logan [2017] |
| After burying Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Logan's (Hugh Jackman) truck won't start and he beats it with a shovel, while screaming at it. This is very similar to a scene in [Fawlty Towers] where Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) beats his car with a sapling after it fails to start. |
| Sir Patrick Stewart claimed that much of the dialogue at the dinner table scene, in which Logan and Charles Xavier tell the family about the school for mutants, was improvised by the actors at the request of director James Mangold, after having filmed takes of scripted dialogue. |
| Hugh Jackman stated in an interview that the only way he would reprise his role is if a crossover between Deadpool and Wolverine would happen. On top of that, Sir Patrick Stewart recently stated on The Graham Norton Show (2017) that this would be his last appearance as Professor X. |
| When Laura and Charles are watching Shane, Charles mentions remembering seeing the film as a child in his hometown. This was entirely improvised by Sir Patrick Stewart, because Shane was one of the first memories he had at the theater as a child. |
| Sir Patrick Stewart lost 21 pounds to play Charles Xavier as elderly and sick. Stewart claimed that he had a steady weight since he was a teenager and had never deliberately lost weight before. Hugh Jackman genuinely held Stewart in all the scenes of Wolverine carrying professor Xavier. |
| Robin Hood: Men in Tights [1993] |
| Sir Patrick Stewart plays King Richard in the movie, and previously played Robin Hood in an episode of [Star Trek: The Next Generation] titled {Qpid}. |
| Sir Patrick Stewart, who plays King Richard, was born and grew up in Mirfield, a mere two miles from the reputed site of Robin Hood's final resting place in the grounds of Kirklees Hall, West Yorkshire. |
| Sir Patrick Stewart plays King Richard talking in a thick Scottish accent, a reference to Sir Sean Connery's performance in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Some critics found Connery's accent inappropriate for the role, since King Richard would not have spoken with a Scottish burr (thus providing comedic fodder for Mel Brooks). Technically, an English accent would have been no more appropriate than Sir Sean Connery's Scottish accent and a French accent would have been best for Richard (and any other nobles of the time, possibly including Robin), as "English" did not yet exist as a language and English nobles spoke Anglo-Norman, a dialect of Old French, while the common folk spoke Old-English, an Anglo-Frisian tongue that has more in common with Old Norse than with Modern English. |
| While Sir Patrick Stewart speaks with a thick Scottish accent when he first appears, it changes to his natural accent when he marries Robin and Marion. |
