Patrick Stewart on saying goodbye to Star Trek: "It changed my life"

It was more than three decades ago when actor Patrick Stewart first took the reign of the USS Enterprise and helped shoot the character of Captain Jean-Luc Picard into transcendental fame. 

Stewart had already found success acting in some English theater plays prior to entering the Star Trek franchise. He said that when he was first offered the role for the revival of the series, he thought that it wouldn't last a season. But taking the role would send him on his own star-filled journey. 

"It changed my life. There was nothing in my life that was not affected," Stewart said.
