Sir Patrick Stewart, OBE is an British-American film, television, and stage actor, and voice actor who has had a distinguished career on stage and screen. He is best known for his roles as Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard, serving aboard the NCC-1701-D Enterprise, in Star Trek: The Next Generation and its successor films, as Professor X in the X-Men films, and as John Bosley in the 2019 Charlie's Angels film. He is also known for voicing Pharaoh Seti in The Prince of Egypt, Poop in The Emoji Movie and Avery Bullock on the Fox animated sitcom American Dad! since 2005, (both of which are now owned by Disney following its acquisition of Fox) and for his prolific stage roles with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
For Disney, he voiced Mr. Woolensworth in the 2005 Disney animated feature film, Chicken Little, and The Great Prince of the Forest in the 2006 Disney direct-to-DVD film, Bambi II. He is the voice actor in Bambi II who was alive when Bambi was released in 1942. He also voiced the William Shakespeare statue in the 2011 Touchstone Pictures film, Gnomeo & Juliet.
Stewart turned down several roles during the Disney Renaissance prior to Chicken Little due to scheduling conflicts, including King Triton in The Little Mermaid, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, Zazu in The Lion King, Governor Ratcliffe in Pocahontas, and Zeus in Hercules. Stewart regards his missed opportunity with voicing Jafar in Aladdin as the greatest regret of his film career. He was mentioned in an episode of Dog With a Blog.
He also voiced Santa Claus for an additional scene in the DVD version of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
