BBC News - HARDtalk, Sir Patrick Stewart

In a classic interview from 2012, Sarah Montague meets actor Sir Patrick Stewart.

Patrick Stewart is best known as Captain Jean-Luc Picard. But he's turned his back on Hollywood to return to the theatre. Why choose small audiences over the glamour of Hollywood?

Patrick Stewart will be instantly recognisable to millions around the world as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the USS Enterprise. Or as Professor Charles Xavier of X-Men. But after 17 years in Hollywood, he's turned his back on it to return to England and to venues like London's Young Vic - to his first love - Shakespeare and the theatre. In his latest role he's even playing Shakespeare. So why choose small audiences in venues like this over the glamour of Hollywood?
