Similarly, Stewart has always tried to remain in touch with his theatrical roots--spending a season at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in his native Leeds, he had little time for critics who suggested that this was all the work he could find--he was doing it because [[DoingItForTheArt he]] ''[[DoingItForTheArt wanted]]'' [[DoingItForTheArt to do it]]. His various theatre roles include playing Theatre/{{Othello}} among an otherwise entirely black cast. Amusingly, at first he was one of the few TNG castmembers who [[ConsummateProfessional took their job fully seriously and didn't mess around on-set]], until he loosened up and, according to co-star Creator/LeVarBurton, would [[NotSoAboveItAll mess around and wreak havoc with the best of them]].

* MauriceChevalierAccent: Sir Patrick explained in [[https://www.npr.org/2014/12/13/370331835/not-my-job-actor-patrick-stewart-gets-quizzed-on-g-i-joe an appearance]] on ''Radio/WaitWaitDontTellMe'' that this was the real-life reason Picard had an English accent instead of a French one: in his own words he sounded "like [[Film/ThePinkPanther Inspector Clouseau]]" when he attempted one during pre-production on TNG. He went on to actually use this accent as part of a disguise when he reprised the role in ''Series/StarTrekPicard''.
