Who played the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard?

Patrick Stewart played the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Stewart first portrayed Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, which premiered in 1987. Picard commands the USS Enterprise-D and later the USS Enterprise-E, becoming one of Star Trek’s most recognizable captains through his emphasis on diplomacy, ethics, scholarship, and careful judgment.

The answer is sometimes mixed up with other Star Trek captains. William Shatner played James T. Kirk, Avery Brooks played Benjamin Sisko, and Kate Mulgrew played Kathryn Janeway. Each is associated with a different series and command crew.

Stewart continued playing Picard in four feature films and returned to the character in the television series Star Trek: Picard. Outside Star Trek, he is also widely known for playing Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films and for his extensive Shakespearean stage career.
