What role did Patrick Stewart play in Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Patrick Stewart played Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, the captain of the starship Enterprise, in Star Trek: The Next Generation. The science-fiction series, a successor to the original Star Trek (1966–69), began in 1987 and ran for seven seasons through 1994. Stewart’s cultured voice and serious presence made Picard the intelligent and deeply moral center of the show. He continued the role in four feature films released between 1994 and 2002 and later in the series Star Trek: Picard, which ran from 2020 to 2023.
