7 Movies You Totally Forgot Patrick Stewart Was In
Professor X. Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The venerable performer of stage and screen Patrick Stewart has done a lot. Hamlet, "Frasier," video games... you name it. Can't recall all of his projects? Too lazy to IMDB him? Here are a few movies you probably forgot Patrick Stewart appeared in.
'Ted' (2012) and 'Ted 2' (2015)
Yes, that's Sir Patrick Stewart as the narrator in Seth MacFarlane's raunchy stuffed animal buddy comedy. Only a celebrated -- not to mention knighted -- Shakespearean pro would do, of course.
'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' (1993)
Stewart slipped into chainmail and a flashy crown for Mel Brooks' silly Robin Hood farce in the role of King Richard.
'LA Story' (1991)
Stewart portrayed the stuffy Maitre D' at the hilariously titled L'Idiot restaurant in Steve Martin's surrealist la la land-lampooning comedy "LA Story." Want a reservation? You'll have to get past his questions first. And don't even try ordering the duck.
'Mastermind' (1997)
An oft-forgotten ''90s action-com starring "Mad Men's" Vincent Kartheiser, "Masterminds" employs Patrick Stewart as a villainous security expert who takes a school hostage for ransom money. So it's "Die Hard" in a school. Kind of.
'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' (2009)
A recent (hate) rewatch on HBO Go reminded us that this misfire thought it was a good idea to bring back "X3's" de-aging effect on Professor X for this totally forgettable cameo. One that ultimately went nowhere in this franchise's grand scheme.
'Green Room' (2015)
The chillingly claustrophobic and under-the-radar indie horror flick "Green Room" is another menacing turn for Stewart. He plays a skinhead leader who traps a band in a club's green room after one of them witnesses a murder.
