Patrick Stewart, who plays Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, talks about the show being the highlight of his career, and how he was virtually unknown until he signed up for the series. From Subspacecomms.com:

The Captain revealed that he is learning the harmonica, has been in 28 of the 37 known Shakespearean plays, and that TNG "changed everything" in his life and career.

Patrick Explains; "Right up until 1987, when I went to Hollywood to start filming Star Trek: The Next Generation, if you didn't go to the Royal Shakespearan Company you'd never heard Patrick Stewart"

When asked if there had been a highlight in his career, Patrick added; "It would have to be Star Trek: The Next Generation... After that series was such a huge success, which it was immediately, everything was changed for me."

I read a next generation/ x-men crossover written before the x-men movies. It was quite awkward imagining him in both the picard and professor x roles

I still remember him playing a character in Dune. He is probably one of my favorite actors.
