Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3 gave Patrick Stewart a chance to embrace his extensive history as a Shakespearean actor. Before taking on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Patrick Stewart had been a longstanding member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and had starred in numerous Shakespearean productions. Patrick Stewart made Captain Picard one of the most beloved Star Trek characters of all time, and Stewart’s own love of Shakespeare was incorporated into Picard as a character. Although Picard regularly quoted the Bard, one TNG episode gave Patrick Stewart the chance to deliver a true Shakespearean performance.
