Does he talk about his affairs and his ditching his children and how he hated trekkies when doing TNG? I don't get how people cannot understand that these ACTORS are not their characters. A lot of these people are horrible people but their characters are amazing... all written by really good writers... In short , don't meet your "heroes!"
Smart people don't idolize celebrities.

Actually yes, he talks about all these there, in some detail: it's where a lot of this info comes from. But you also judge him by his worse moments, rather than what happened after:

- Affairs: yes, and repentant for it.
- Children: "ditched" is inaccurate, but he did prioritize work over them, leading to permanent rifts.
- On Trekkies: actually the evidence points otherwise, and he has also routinely expressed a love of Trek and its fans. The first season on TNG itself he was a bit of a stiff diva nightmare, but he loosened up over time. (Just ask his cast mates.)

So yes, he was flawed. Every person is. And I agree with not meeting your heroes. (I have and found them all to be... all too human.) But he was repentant, which can't be said for everyone. And he does talk about it here.

Blatant exaggerations aside, do you talk about his philanthropy (namely domestic violence and animal rescue), vocal support for inclusivity (if you're cool with that), being a general master of his craft, etc? I don't get how people cannot separate the good in people from their worst moments in life. In short, the guy's human, made mistakes, and still far better than most people out there.

Only useful comment in the thread so far 👍

We need "Deal Editors" back to fix these shortcomings. 13TU popular without this basic info is problematic. I assume that SD Labor has been restructured into shilling

Edit: are that many late comers confused about how time works? 😂 yes *NOW* eBook has been added to the post, but when the prior comment was made and my reply was made...it wasn't. that's how forums work. we were here before you were and commented on how things were at that time.

Darn! That's rather vicious! His personal life is really none of my business. I consider him a great actor on both stage and screen, and that's enough for me.

Patrick Stewart:
I will "Make It So."

[blank look from Andy]

Patrick Stewart:
You've seen "Star Trek: The Next Generation?"

Andy Millman:
I haven't, no.

Patrick Stewart:
Why? Your wife won't let you have it on?

Andy Millman:
I'm not married.

Patrick Stewart:
Oh, your girlfriend then?

Andy Millman:
I haven't got a girlfriend either. I live alone.

Patrick Stewart:
You're not married, you haven't got a girlfriend... and you've never watched "Star Trek?"

Andy Millman:
No.

Patrick Stewart:
Good Lord...
