They were founded in 1889 and play their home games at Griffin Park, their home stadium since 1904. The club has a long-standing rivalry with near neighbours, Fulham. Brentford's most successful spell came during the 1930s, when they achieved consecutive top six finishes in the First Division. Since the War, they have spent most of their time in the third and fourth tiers of English football. Brentford have been FA Cup quarter-finalists on four occasions, and have three times been Football League Trophy runners-up.
There followed several seasons of the club narrowly missing out on promotion. Former Chelsea FA Cup hero David Webb was appointed manager in 1993 and twice led the side into the play-offs. In 1996-97 he led them to the play-off final at Wembley, but the side were beaten by Crewe Alexandra. The club were then relegated to the Third Division (by then the bottom division of the Football League) the following year. Brentford won promotion as champions again in 1998-99 under manager and chairman Ron Noades.
The club suffered more promotion agony in 2002 under manager Steve Coppell as they lost out to Stoke City in the play-off final having been just minutes away from automatic promotion on the final day of the season, and again under manager Martin Allen in 2004-05, on that occasion losing 3-1 on aggregate to Sheffield Wednesday in the semi-finals after finishing 4th in League One.
Former BBC Director-General and Bees fan Greg Dyke was announced as chairman of Brentford on 20 January 2006 as part of the takeover by Bees United, the Brentford Supporters Trust. On 28 January 2006, Brentford beat Premier League strugglers Sunderland 2-1 in the 4th Round of the FA Cup, but lost 3-1 to another Premier League club Charlton Athletic in the 5th Round. Brentford finished 3rd in the league and lost to Swansea City in the play-off semi-final.
On 30 May 2006 Allen announced his resignation as manager of Brentford and the club named Leroy Rosenior as his successor on 14 June 2006. On 18 November 2006, following a run of 16 matches without a win - leaving the side in the relegation zone - Rosenior was sacked as manager, after the team lost 4-0 at home to Crewe. Following Rosenior's departure, youth team coach Scott Fitzgerald was appointed manager on a full-time basis on 21 December 2006 with Alan Reeves acting as his assistant. Fitzgerald was unable to turn around the club's fortunes, and Brentford were relegated to Football League Two - English Football's 4th tier - in April 2007. Fitzgerald left the day following confirmation of Brentford's relegation, with youth team manager Barry Quin due to act as caretaker in the managerial role until the end of the season.
Ex-England captain Terry Butcher was appointed as manager on 24 April 2007. Butcher's assistant was former Brentford winger Andy Scott, who was appointed on 9 May 2007. Butcher's reign at Griffin Park was, however, not a successful one, and his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 11 December 2007, after winning just 5 matches in 23. Butcher's assistant Andy Scott was appointed as manager on 4 January 2008 following a successful caretaker spell. (Scott's assistant is the experienced coach Terry Bullivant).
On 25 April 2009 Brentford sealed the Coca-Cola League Two Championship (English Football's 4th tier) with a 3-1 win at Darlington. The Bees were awarded the Trophy in front of 10,223 fans at Griffin Park on May 2. They were the second team (after Doncaster Rovers) to win the fourth tier three times, and the first to win the tier under its three names (Fourth Division, Division Three and League Two).
Scott's excellent first calendar year in charge was recognised with an award, the BBC London 'Manager of the Year 2008'. Scott was also awarded the 'Coca Cola League Two Manager of the Month' award for April/May 2009, which recognised the above title was won in difficult circumstances; with 4 strikers hospitalised in 8 games.
During the 2008-09 campaign, three players also picked up awards:
2009-10: A total of 13 new players were bought in, mostly on free transfers.
On 5 August 2009, the amalgamation of fans' groups which help run the club - Bees United - announced they had ".. negotiated terms with Matthew Benham that will enable BU to continue in its role of ensuring the club is governed well, of protecting the long term interests of Brentford Football Club, and of giving you, our members, the right of veto over any unreasonable sale of the ground in which Brentford plays, so long as Brentford FC remains solvent".
The 2009-10 season saw the club stabalise in League One - with Brentford finishing 9th. A shaky start led to changes in personnel, notably loanees from Arsenal (Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny) and Tottenham Hotspur (winger John Bostock). While the other promoted teams struggled, Brentford thrived, thanks to good home form, (Brentford only lost four home league games in two years) and some impressive displays against the richer clubs in the division (e.g. Leeds United, Norwich City, Southampton & Huddersfield Town). A new CEO was appointed, Andrew Mills.
The 2010-11 season saw a League Cup run, with Premier League opposition - Everton - beaten at Griffin Park, and Birmingham City taken to a penalty shoot-out. The Bees' league form took a dive in January 2011 however; and manager Scott and assistant Bullivant parted company from the club on February 3; with senior pro Nicky Forster taking over as manager (with Mark Warburton, a former Watford Academy Coach as his assistant). Brentford reached the final of the Football League Trophy in which they lost 1-0 to Carlisle United.
At the end of the 2010-11 season Nicky Forster was informed that he would not be getting the manager's job on a full time basis and on the 10th June 2011 Uwe Rosler was confirmed as the new manager, on a two year contract.
In 2007 The Ealing Road end of the ground has had a roof installed after a grant by the Football Trust and makes all 4 stands of the ground covered. The Ealing Road remains a terrace but has been "given back" to home supporters and was re-opened for the first game of the season of the 2007/08 season on Saturday 11 August 2007 against Mansfield Town (4,909 watched the game).
The dug-outs were switched from the Braemar Road side of the ground to the Bill Axbey side for the 2010/11 season.
The Braemar Road stand was renamed the 'Bees United' stand for the 2010/11 season. The stand opposite is called The Bill Axbey stand. The away fans' end is known to Brentford fans as 'The Wendy House'.
The new stadium moved another step closer on 22 February 2008 when it was announced that Brentford's development partner, Barratt Homes, had acquired a regeneration site in Lionel Road, Brentford. Following this news, it was anticipated that the stadium would be completed in time for the 2012/13 season, and be used as a training venue for teams participating in the 2012 Olympic Games in London. However, due to the on-going economic downturn and fall in property prices, the club and Barratt Homes admitted in early 2009 that this date would no longer be feasible.

Brentford have a long standing rivalry with Fulham. The two local rivals competed regularly until recent years when Fulham were taken over by Egyptian millionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed. In the past this fixture has been marred by crowd violence. Fulham are considered to be Brentford's traditional rivals and vice versa.
QPR are also considered to be rivals. Brentford and QPR clashed regularly until 1966 when QPR spent many years in higher divisions. It wasn't until 2001 that they met again. The rivalry intensified in 1967 when QPR failed in an attempted takeover of Brentford which would have spelled the end for Brentford and seen QPR move into Griffin Park. As with the Fulham rivalry, this fixture sees passions run high amongst both sets of supporters with local pride at stake.
Actor and comedian, Bradley Walsh was a professional at the club in the late 1970s but never made the first team squad.
Late Jazz Band Leader, Billy Cotton, who hosted the long-running Billy Cotton's Band Show on Radio and TV, played for Brentford as an amateur in his youth.
Singer/pop icon Rod Stewart is often reported to be a former player, but this is believed to be a myth. Stewart admitted to not have been signed by Brentford in a 1995 issue of Q Magazine, but possibly had trials in 1961 and left before being offered any 'deal' to stay on.

Corrigan started his career in pornography in 2004 at Cobra Video, as a young twink model in ''Every Poolboy's Dream''. He quickly became one of Cobra's most famous performers, where his bare-back-themed movies were critically top rated and commercially top-selling. Corrigan's performing career has featured a diverse variety of sexual activity, including semen swallowing, rimming and Cobra Video's first double anal penetration ever by Chase McKenzie and Brent Everett.
In September 2005, Corrigan made the claim that he falsified his identification documents to make his first films, being under-age when these were filmed. This public statement resulted in much controversy, causing many of his films to be (voluntarily) pulled from distribution channels while concerns of paedopornography in many legal jurisdictions in the United States and abroad are settled. The statement has been a major part of a continuing legal dispute between Corrigan and Cobra Video, and of much debate amongst fans.
Both Corrigan and Cobra Video have created separate "official" websites promoting the performer.
Corrigan heads up his own production company and enjoys writing in his spare time.
After arriving in San Diego, he further states that he was abandoned by his mother, forcing him to take care of himself.
At sixteen years, he says he met and began courting an older man who introduced him to what he referred to as an unhealthy social scene.
He further claims he never met his father.
He stated in an interview that, at 16 years, he believed he "knew everything." He also believed his boyfriend's statements that fake identification was used "all the time" by underage performers and that he wasn't doing anything wrong.
Corrigan then went on to do two shoots with Cobra in 2004. The majority of these scenes were receptive, bareback, anal sex, with the exception of those starring both Corrigan and Brent Everett, where a condom was used for Corrigan's bottoming scenes. The scenes from these shoots were spread over four videos. Those videos were both critically and commercially a success, being consistently well reviewed as well as top sellers for Cobra video.
During the time these scenes were filmed, Corrigan stated that he developed a close relationship with Cobra Video owner Bryan Kocis and that the relationship eventually became sexual. Corrigan stated that he was afraid the business relationship would end unless he maintained the sexual part of the relationship.
In a July/August 2006 GayWebMonkey magazine interview, Corrigan stated that on several occasions he tried to explicitly state to this producer that he was under-age, but the producer was not interested in hearing the information or in having the information publicly disclosed. Corrigan states that "[The Cobra producer] hinted very strongly that if I was underage now or when filming the videos, I’d be the one in trouble, not him." Corrigan also stated that this Cobra video producer emailed him after the public disclosures to say that "traitors would be dealt with accordingly" and to expect lawsuits, embarrassment, and financial ruin.
On September 13, 2005, the four Cobra Video titles featuring these disputed scenes were pulled voluntarily from circulation by Cobra Video, through their distributor, Pacific Sun Entertainment. Though no prosecution or criminal charges have been filed regarding the alleged under-age scenes, copies of these disputed titles are no longer (as of 2007) available through official channels.
On December 8, 2008, Kerekes pleaded guilty to the murder of Bryan Kocis and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison without parole, avoiding a potential death sentence.
Jury selection for Cuadra's trial began February 17, 2009, and the trial began February 24. On February 27, Sean Lockhart testified for the prosecution.
On March 12, 2009, Harlow Cuadra was found guilty and convicted of first degree murder in Kocis' death. On March 16, 2009, Cuadra was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. On April 7, 2009, Cuadra appealed his life sentence.
I'm not a part of Brent Corrigan Inc any longer. I'm doing my own thing now...Yes, [this is the] third website I've been a part of developing. The big difference is this one is ALL MINE - no business partners involved.
Corrigan maintained a blog and personal website at BrentCorriganINC.com. This web site began in July 2007. Corrigan aired the new web-site because of difficulty he was having with his old web-site.
Corrigan makes his views about his old and new web-sites known to his visitors:
"Here, you’ll get it all. Just be advised, from here on out, you have absolutely no reason to continue your regular visits to BrentCorriganOnline.com. I wash my hands of that filthy failure, and I beg the same of you. I want to prove to the thieves that BrentCorriganOnline.com is nothing without Brent Corrigan. I want to see the traffic on that website plummet to the depths of hell and never return. I can accomplish that with the help of you."
Corrigan maintained a web-log at his old web-site, BrentCorriganOnline.com. He started his own adult-video production company (which, he claims, makes him the youngest producer in the adult-video industry.) Cobra Video also created a website, Brentcorriganxxx.com, which offers free downloads of clips and pictures of Corrigan's post-2004 work.
On October 9, 2006, Corrigan's web-log announced the launch of the private, adult, pay-only section of BrentCorriganOnline.com. The entry provided a link to the pay site, discussed the delays and included a video celebrating the pay site's start. It was also revealed that his web-master, Jeremy Carrson, is his second business partner in this venture. On October 11, 2006, Corrigan also claimed that a major reason for the delay of the roll-out of the members-only site was due to his contracted online billing company at first, canceling the original billing contract under legal pressure from Cobra Video.
Corrigan has appeared in several nonpornographic films. He has a small role as "Skippy" in the short film ''Tell Me'', a co-starring role (as Sean Lockhart) in the rock musical short ''Didn't This Used to Be Fun?'' and a starring role as "Press" in a short film directed by Jody Wheeler entitled ''In the Closet''. In 2009, the film appeared on a gay short film compilation ''Boys on Film 3: American Boy'' released by Peccadillo Pictures, the company that also made it possible for Corrigan to record an album with songs by the Swedish songwriter and accordionist Roland Cedermark.
He plays "Stan the Merman" in the 2008 feature ''Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild'', and as one of the people on the telephone tree in Gus Van Sant's ''Milk'', based on Harvey Milk. He has a co-starring role in the musical ''The Big Gay Musical'' as "Hustler" and he plays "Alter Boy" in the 2011 feature ''Sister Mary''. He will also be starring as "Chris Wachowsky" in the gay coming-of-age fantasy ''Judas Kiss''. Starred as "Ricky" in Chillerama (segment "I Was A Teenage Werebear") a musical, about a "closeted kid who meets these other closeted kids, who when aroused turn into leather daddy werebears". It was directed by Tim Sullivan, due for a 2011 release.
At the 2009 GayVN Awards in San Francisco, pornographic director Michael Lucas protested Corrigan's participation in the event. Later, he accused Corrigan's boyfriend of threats and filed a police report, but no charges were ever brought.

Originally a draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche, he started his NHL career with the St. Louis Blues, where he played there until he was traded during the 2003–04 season to the Phoenix Coyotes. Johnson was signed by the Vancouver Canucks prior to the start of the 2005–06 season, but was soon claimed on waivers by the Capitals, where he played behind both Olaf Kölzig and José Théodore.
Johnson is the grandson of NHL Hall of Famer Sid Abel and the son of former NHL goaltender Bob Johnson. Brent Johnson was in goal for the Capitals on February 4, 2006 when they played against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning's goaltender for the game was John Grahame, the son of former NHL goaltender Ron Grahame. According to the Capitals, this game was the first occasion where two second-generation NHL goaltenders competed against each other.
For the week ending November 9, 2008, Johnson was named the NHL Third Star of the Week by helping the Capitals collect five points in three games (each consecutive starts). He went 2–0–1 with a 1.63 GAA and a .953 save percentage.
He underwent hip surgery in February 2009 and was expected to be out of action two months.
Johnson was deemed expendable by Washington after the emergence of young goalie Semyon Varlamov. On July 21, 2009, Johnson was signed as a free agent to a one-year contract by the Pittsburgh Penguins to back-up Marc-André Fleury. After helping the Penguins to 10 wins in 23 games for the 2009–10 season he was signed to a two-year extension with Pittsburgh, through to the 2011–12 season on April 13, 2010. On February 2, 2011, Johnson had his first fight in the NHL when he engaged with Rick DiPietro in a fight after DiPietro and Matt Cooke collided near the goal crease. Johnson skated over to DiPietro, ignoring the referee waving him off, and took DiPietro down with one punch. It was later found out that DiPietro suffered facial fractures from the punch. The next game against the Islanders (9 days later), Johnson once again in goal, fought with Islanders center Micheal Haley along with Penguins forward Eric Godard who left the bench to assist his goaltender. In his first fight with Rick DiPietro he got leaving crease and game misconduct penalties. In his fight with Micheal Haley he received a 5 Fighting (major) which was served by Marc-André Fleury. In the week and two days separating the two fights there was another netminder fight, Carey Price and Tim Thomas.
On April 4, 2011, the couple welcomed their daughter, Everly Grayce.

Spiner appeared as a media technician in "The Advocates", a second season episode of the Showtime cable series ''The Paper Chase''. In 1984, he moved to Los Angeles, appearing in several pilots and made-for-TV movies. He played a recurring character on ''Night Court'' named Bob Wheeler, patriarch of a rural family. In 1986, he played a small role as a condemned soul in "Dead Run", an episode of the short-lived revival of Rod Serling's ''Twilight Zone'' series on CBS. Also in 1986, Spiner made two appearances as characters in season 3 of the television show ''Mama's Family'', playing two different characters. Spiner's first and only starring film role was in ''Rent Control'' in 1984. In the ''Cheers'' episode "Never Love a Goalie, Part II", he played the acquitted murder suspect Bill Grand. Spiner also had a role in a ''Tales from the Darkside'' episode, "A Case Of The Stubborns", playing a priest who experiences a crisis of faith. In 1986 he portrayed Jim Stevens in the made for TV movie ''Manhunt for Claude Dallas.''
In 1997, Spiner returned to Broadway, playing the leading role of John Adams in the Roundabout Theatre Company revival of the musical ''1776''. The production was nominated for a Tony Award. A cast recording was released of the revival production.
He has since had guest appearances on ''Law & Order: Criminal Intent'', ''Friends'', ''Deadly Games'', ''Mad About You'', ''Gargoyles'', ''Frasier'', ''Joey'', and ''The Outer Limits'', as well as movie roles in ''Independence Day'', ''Phenomenon'', ''Out to Sea'', ''South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut'', ''Dude, Where's My Car?'', ''The Ponder Heart'', ''I Am Sam'', ''The Master of Disguise'', and ''The Aviator''. His TV movie appearances during this period include the 2000 TV musical ''Geppetto'', and playing Dorothy Dandridge's manager/confidant Earl Mills in the HBO production ''Introducing Dorothy Dandridge''.
In 2004, Spiner returned to ''Star Trek'' when he appeared as Dr. Arik Soong, an ancestor of Data's creator Dr. Noonien Soong, whom he also played, in a three-episode story arc of ''Star Trek: Enterprise'' in "Borderland", "Cold Station 12", and "The Augments". He also briefly reprised the role of Data for the series, providing a voice-only cameo in the ''Enterprise'' finale, "These Are the Voyages...". Spiner guest-starred in ''Friends'' as a man who interviews Rachel for Gucci, and later cameoed as himself in the ''Friends'' spinoff, ''Joey''.
In 2005, Spiner began a role in a short-lived science-fiction television series, ''Threshold'', which was canceled in November of that year after 13 episodes. In 2006, Spiner appeared in a feature film comedy, ''Material Girls'', with Hilary and Haylie Duff.
During the tenth season of the sitcom ''Frasier'', in the episode "Lilith Needs a Favor", Spiner made two brief cameos as a fellow airline passenger of Frasier Crane's ex-wife, Lilith Sternin.
In March 2008, Spiner performed alongside Maude Maggart in a new radio show/musical called ''Dreamland''. This was released as a CD album. In February 2008, Spiner joined the growing league of celebrities who feature on popular online sites like MySpace, under the name of 'The Real Brent Spiner'.
In 2008, he played Dr. Strom in the feature film parody ''Superhero Movie''. In February 2009, Spiner played the role of William Quint in "The Juror #6 Job", an episode of the drama series ''Leverage'' directed by his ''Next Generation'' co-star Jonathan Frakes. That same year, he voiced himself in the ''Family Guy'' episode "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven".
In 2010, Spiner and fellow ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' star LeVar Burton made an appearance on TWiT.tv's coverage of the Consumer Electronics Show.
In April 2011, Spiner began starring in ''Fresh Hell'', a new comic webseries in which he plays a version of himself, attempting to put his career back together after falling out of the limelight.

In a 2008 interview, Stewart said: "My father was a very potent individual, a very powerful man who got what he wanted. It was said that when he strode on to the parade ground, birds stopped singing. It was many, many years before I realised how my father inserted himself into my work. I've grown a moustache for Macbeth. My father didn't have one, but when I looked in the mirror just before I went on stage I saw my father's face staring straight back at me."
Throughout childhood, Stewart endured poverty and disadvantage, an experience which influenced his later political and ideological beliefs. In 2006, Stewart made a short video against domestic violence for Amnesty International, in which he recollected his father's physical attacks on his mother and the effect it had on him as a child, and he has given his name to a scholarship at the University of Huddersfield, where he is Chancellor, to fund post-graduate study into domestic violence. His childhood experiences also led him to become the patron of Refuge, a UK charity for abused women.
}} Stewart attended Crowlees Church of England Junior and Infants School. He attributes his acting career to an English teacher named Cecil Dormand who "put a copy of Shakespeare in my hand [and] said, 'Now get up on your feet and perform'". In 1951, aged 11, he entered Mirfield Secondary Modern School, where he continued to study drama. At age 15, Stewart dropped out of school and increased his participation in local theatre. He acquired a job as a newspaper reporter and obituary writer, but after a year, his employer gave him an ultimatum to choose acting or journalism. He quit the job. His brother tells the story that Stewart would attend rehearsals during work time and then invent the stories he reported. Stewart also trained as a boxer.
He also had minor roles in several films such as King Leondegrance in John Boorman's ''Excalibur'' (1981), the character Gurney Halleck in David Lynch's 1984 film version of ''Dune'' and Dr. Armstrong in Tobe Hooper's ''Lifeforce'' (1985).
While not wealthy, Stewart had a comfortable lifestyle as an actor; however, he found that despite a lengthy career, his reputation was not great enough to bring a production of ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' to West End theatre. Stewart thus in 1987 agreed to work in Hollywood, after Robert H. Justman, producer for a revival of a long-cancelled television show, saw him while attending a literary reading at UCLA. Stewart knew nothing about the original show, ''Star Trek'', or its iconic status in American culture. He was reluctant to sign the standard contract of six years, but did so as he believed that the new show would quickly fail and he would return to his London stage career after making some money.
}} Besides making him immediately wealthy due to the show's great success—Stewart calculated during one break during filming the show that he made more money during that break than from 10 weeks of ''Woolf'' in London—Stewart received a 1995 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series". From 1994 to 2002, he also portrayed Picard in the movie spin-offs ''Star Trek Generations'' (1994), ''Star Trek: First Contact'' (1996), ''Star Trek: Insurrection'' (1998), and ''Star Trek Nemesis'' (2002); and in ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'''s pilot episode "Emissary".
When asked in 2011 for the highlight of his career, he chose ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', "because it changed everything [for me]." He has also said he is very proud of his work on ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', for its social message and educational impact on young viewers. On being questioned about the significance of his role compared to his distinguished Shakespearean career, Stewart has said that }} The accolades Stewart has received include the readers of ''TV Guide'' in 1992 choosing him with Cindy Crawford, whom he had never heard of, as television's "most bodacious" man and woman. Stewart considered this an unusual distinction considering his age and baldness. In an interview with Michael Parkinson, he expressed gratitude for Gene Roddenberry's riposte to a reporter who said, "Surely they would have cured baldness by the 24th century," to which Roddenberry replied, "In the 24th century, they wouldn't care."
}}
Stewart became so typecast as Picard that he has found obtaining other Hollywood roles difficult. The main exception is the ''X-Men'' film series. The films' success has resulted in another lucrative regular genre role in a major superhero film series. Stewart's character, Charles Xavier, is very similar to Picard and himself; "a grand, deep-voiced, bald English guy". He has also since voiced the role in three video games, ''X-Men Legends'', ''X-Men Legends II'' and ''X-Men: Next Dimension''. Other film and television roles include the flamboyantly gay Sterling in the 1995 film ''Jeffrey'' and King Henry II in ''The Lion in Winter'', for which he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance and an Emmy Award nomination for executive-producing the film. He portrayed Captain Ahab in the 1998 made-for-television film version of ''Moby Dick'', receiving Emmy Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for his performance.
In late 2003, during the eleventh and final season of NBC's ''Frasier'', Stewart appeared on the show as a gay Seattle socialite and Opera director who mistakes Frasier for a potential lover. In July 2003, he appeared as himself in Series 02 (Episode 09) of ''Top Gear'' in the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment. He achieved 1:50 in the Liana. In 2005, he was cast as Professor Ian Hood in an ITV thriller 4-episode series ''Eleventh Hour'', created by Stephen Gallagher. The first episode was broadcast on 19 January 2006. He also, in 2005, played Captain Nemo in a two part adaptation of ''The Mysterious Island''. Stewart also appeared as a nudity obsessed caricature of himself in Ricky Gervais's television series ''Extras'', as a last-minute replacement for Jude Law. For playing himself, he was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2006 for Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.
In 2011, Stewart appeared in the feature length documentary ''The Captains'' alongside William Shatner, who also wrote and directed the film. In the film Shatner interviews every other actor who has portrayed a captain within the Star Trek franchise. The film pays a great deal of attention to Shatner's interviews with Stewart at his home in Oxfordshire as well as at a Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the film Stewart reveals the fear and personal failings that came along with his tenure as a Star Fleet captain, but also the great triumphs he believes accompanied his role as Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
Shakespeare roles during this period included Prospero in Shakespeare's ''The Tempest'', on Broadway in 1995, a role he would reprise in Rupert Goold's 2006 production of ''The Tempest'' as part of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Complete Works Festival. In 1997, he took the role of Othello with the Shakespeare Theatre Company (Washington, D.C.) in a race-bending performance, in a "photo negative" production of a white ''Othello'' with an otherwise all-black cast. Stewart had wanted to play the title role since the age of 14, so he and director Jude Kelly inverted the play so Othello became a comment on a white man entering a black society.
}} His years in the United States had left Stewart a "gaping hole in his CV" for a Shakespearean actor, as he had missed the opportunity to play such notable roles as Hamlet, Romeo, and Richard III. He played Antony again opposite Harriet Walter's Cleopatra in ''Antony and Cleopatra'' at the Novello Theatre in London in 2007 to excellent reviews. During this period, Stewart also addressed the Durham Union Society on his life in film and theatre. When Stewart began playing Macbeth in the West End in 2007, some said that he was too old for the role; however, he and the show again received excellent reviews, with one critic calling Stewart "one of our finest Shakespearean actors".
He was named as the next Cameron Mackintosh Visiting Professor of Contemporary Theatre based at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford in January 2007. In 2008, Stewart played King Claudius in ''Hamlet'' alongside David Tennant. He won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor for the part. When collecting his award, he dedicated the award "in part" to Tennant and Tennant's understudy Edward Bennett, after Tennant's back injury and subsequent absence from four weeks of ''Hamlet'' disqualified him from an Olivier nomination. Stewart has expressed interest in appearing in ''Doctor Who''.
In 2009, Stewart appeared alongside Ian McKellen as the lead duo of Vladimir (Didi) and Estragon (Gogo), in ''Waiting for Godot''. Stewart had previously only appeared once alongside McKellen on stage, but the pair had developed a close friendship while waiting around on set filming the ''X-Men'' films. Stewart stated that performing in this play was the fulfilment of a 50 year ambition, having seen Peter O'Toole appear in it at the Bristol Old Vic while Stewart was just 17. His interpretation captured well the balance between humour and despair that characterises the work.
He also was a voice actor on the animated films ''The Prince of Egypt'', ''Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius'', ''Chicken Little'', ''The Pagemaster'', and on the English dubbings of the Japanese anime films ''Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind'' by Hayao Miyazaki and ''Steamboy''. He voiced the pig Napoleon in a TV adaptation of George Orwell's ''Animal Farm'' and guest starred in the ''Simpsons'' episode "Homer the Great" as Number One. Patrick also narrated the prologue and epilogue for the Disney's ''Nightmare Before Christmas'', which also appears on the movie's soundtrack.
More recently, he has played a recurring role as CIA Deputy Director Avery Bullock, lending his likeness as well as his voice) on the animated series ''American Dad!'' as well as making (as of 6 August 2011) eight guest appearances on ''Family Guy'' in various roles: first in "Peter's Got Woods", second in "No Meals on Wheels" when Peter likens something to when he once swapped voices with him for a day, third in "Lois Kills Stewie" as his ''American Dad!'' character Bullock, fourth in "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" as himself, fifth in "And Then There Were Fewer" as a cat that proclaims himself a professor , sixth in "Halloween on Spooner Street as Dick Pump, seventh in "The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair" as Susie Swanson and eighth in the DVD version of ''It's A Trap!'' as Captain Picard. In 2006, Stewart voiced Bambi's father, The Great Prince of the Forest in Disney's direct-to-video sequel, ''Bambi II''.
He lent his voice to the Activision-produced ''Star Trek'' computer games ''Star Trek: Armada'', ''Armada II'', ''Star Trek: Starfleet Command III'', ''Star Trek: Invasion'', ''Bridge Commander'', and ''Elite Force II'', all reprising his role as Captain Picard. Stewart reprised his role as Picard in ''Star Trek: Legacy'' for both PC and Xbox 360, along with the four other 'major' Starfleet captains from the different Star Trek series.
In addition to voicing his characters from ''Star Trek'' and ''X-Men'' in several related computer and video games, Stewart worked as a voice actor on games unrelated to both franchises, such as ''Castlevania: Lords of Shadow'', ''Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone'', ''Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos'' and ''The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion'' for which in 2006 he won a Spike TV Video Game Award for his work as Emperor Uriel Septim. He also lent his voice to several editions of the Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia.
His voice talents also appeared in a number of commercials including the UK TV Advert for Domestos 5x Longer Bleach, an advertisement for Shell fuel, and an American advertisement for the prescription drug Crestor. He also voiced the UK and Australian TV advertisements for the PAL version of ''Final Fantasy XII''.
Stewart used his voice for Pontiac and Porsche automobiles and MasterCard Gold commercials in 1996, and Goodyear Assurance Tires in 2004. He also did voice-overs for RCA televisions. He provided the voice of Max Winters in ''TMNT'' in March 2007. In 2008, he is also the voice of television advertisements for Currys and Stella Artois beer. In 2010, he is the voice in television advertisements for National Car Rental.
He voiced the narrator of the Electronic Arts computer game, The Sims Medieval, for the game's introduction cinematic and trailer released on 22 March 2011.
Having lived in Los Angeles for many years, Stewart moved back to the UK in 2004. In an interview with the BBC's Gavin Esler, he said this was because he was homesick and because he wanted to return to work in the theatre. In the same year, Stewart was appointed as Chancellor of the University of Huddersfield and subsequently as a Professor of Performing Arts in July 2008. In spite of his hectic acting schedule, Stewart takes his University role seriously and regularly attends graduation ceremonies in the UK and Hong Kong, as well as teaching master classes for drama students during his visits. Stewart was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2001 New Year Honours list, after receiving which he said, "I'm very touched and very pleased with this and it was a delightful morning." Stewart was made a Knight Bachelor in the 2010 New Year Honours for services to drama. He acknowledged the "unlooked-for honour" and paid tribute to his former English teacher who encouraged him to perform.
His politics are rooted in his belief in fairness and equality. He considers himself a socialist and is a member of the Labour Party. He stated, "My father was a very strong trade unionist and those fundamental issues of Labour were ingrained into me." He has been critical of the Iraq War and recent UK government legislation in the area of civil liberties, in particular, its plans to extend detention without charge to 42 days. He signed an open letter of objection to this proposal in March 2008. Stewart identifies himself as a feminist. Additionally, he has publicly advocated for the right to assisted suicide.
Stewart is president of Huddersfield Town Academy, the local football club's project for identifying and developing young talent. He is a lifelong supporter of the club. In an interview with American Theatre, Stewart was asked if he could be something other than an actor, what would he be. He stated "From time to time, I have fantasies of becoming a concert pianist. I've been lucky enough through the years to work very closely with the great Emanuel Ax. I've said to him that if I could switch places with anyone it would be with him."
Stewart's son Daniel is a television actor, and has appeared alongside his father in the 1993 made for television film ''Death Train'', and the 1992 ''Star Trek'' episode "The Inner Light" playing his son.
In July 2011 Stewart received an honourary doctorate of letters from the University of East Anglia.
Stewart returned to the Royal Shakespeare Company playing Shylock in Rupert Goold's avant garde production of ''The Merchant of Venice'' in spring 2011, and he will be reprising the role of William Shakespeare in ''Bingo: Scenes of Money and Death'' by Edward Bond at London's Young Vic Theatre in spring 2012.
