I found this on yahoo and thought it was kinda funny.

So don't be expecting the "real" Jean-Luc Picard to appear in-game.

Patrick Stewart is just awesome :3

He just doesn't play them, there is a difference.

I love the fact that he doesn't play them because he knows if he did he would become... well... us.

Win.

He's my hero.

I saw him do a one-man show of A Christmas Carol in Hollywood when I was a kid...that man is made of win and awesome.

I found it while reading another article, and that's how the link was titled. I was just making fun of it.

all joking aside, it would certainly be possible to get him to do voice work for STO. He's already done voice work for video games: he was Emperor Uriel Septim in Oblivion.

Definitely. He's done tons of voicework, even for a star trek game (Legacy). He also is doing voicework for the new Castlevania game.

On a tiny derail, does anyone else find it odd that the extremely robust character creation tool actually overlooked allowing humans to be as bald as Jean-Luc?

Maybe they finally cured baldness.
