69 years ago today Patrick Stewart was born in Mirfield West Yorkshire, England.

Some  favorite PS videos from youtube:

I've seen everything, I've seen it all-from Extras

About being bald and getting girls

There are four lights!!

Happy 69th birthday to one of the world's great thespians!

The star, famed for playing Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, pre-recorded the Voice of God, which has been booming out during performances of the plays, which finish their run at Monk Bretton Priory tonight.Patrick – unable to perform in person because he was too busy performing in Waiting for Godot – said: "When I was asked I knew I wouldn't be able to give a lot of participation, but knew I wanted to be involved in some way.

In honor of Patrick's birthday, July 13, this months' theme is "favorite PS photos". 
Feel free to share as many photos as many times as you like.

Here are some of mine:

The theme for June's picture post is "friends and family".  Dig out all those photos of Patrick you have with those he loved, loves and just pals around with.

Patrick Stewart and David Tennant will reprise their roles  for a new 180-minute screen version of the play, which will be aired on BBC Two later this year.

 

Patrick Stewart reprises his sugar daddy role as he steps out with a new flame less than half his age.

On stage for the London opening of Waiting For Godot this week, Patrick Stewart looked every one - and more - of his 68 years.

Yet it seems there is life in the old dog yet, if his recent romantic history is anything to go by. 

Fresh from starring as the flea-bitten tramp Vladimir in Samuel Beckett's play opposite Sir Ian McKellen, Stewart arrived at the after-show party on the arm of a second much-younger companion.

New love: Patrick Stewart, 68, attends a Waiting For Godot after-show party with 31-year-old jazz singer Sunny Ozell

Looking at the shower scene in the previous post reminded me of a couple of silly scenes from that movie. Here they are...........

This month's theme is "silly shots."  Feel free to post your favorite "silly shots"  of Patrick.

First, kudos to our co-moderator trekchic for yesterday's April Fool's funny :)

So our theme for April is Patrick and his hats. Not everyone can rock a hat, and Patrick has certainly worn quite a few styles in his film and theater work. Mostly, he seems to use the baseball cap as a means of blending into the crowd. So this month is your chance to post your favorite pics of Patrick wearing a hat. I'll post the usual Friday picspam tomorrow, but to start us off, here's one to start us off.

Today Patrick Stewart announced his engagement to his former acting coach who just happens to be 10 years his senior.

When asked to comment his publicist said "Patrick is very happy and that's all that matters. Age has never been an issue for him, but yeah most of his girlfriends are a bit younger."

When approached by this reporter his son said: "Wow I'm just really surprised that my Dad would go for a granny, not that there's anything wrong with that."

The happy couple ...

Not sure how long this is going to stay on You Tube (as they have been getting militant about video content lately)

Sorry, I have forgotten the theme for March, but here are a few recent pics. The first was from a review of the new play he is doing with Ian McKellen, the final two are courtesy of mata090680 and I think are from the Olivier Awards.

Patrick Stewart has collected the third Laurence Olivier Award of his career, winning Best Performance in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Claudius and the Ghost in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of Hamlet.
