Sir Patrick Stewart has an acting career spanning more than 50
years.

He was an accomplished Shakepearean actor when he took on the
role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation
which brought him international acclaim.

He talks to Sarah Montague about his decision to join the Star
Trek cast and why it wasn't supposed to be successful.

victims of domestic violence.
