Patrick Stewart Goes All-In on Gay Indie Film

love that scene from Lifeforce! @3:14

He was so funny on American Dad, probably one of the best characters on the show. And he said it was his favourite role to play because everything he says is just so out there and different from his other more serious work

This was a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing. And I loved "Jeffrey" from the first time I saw it.

Love this tribute. Thank you, Sir Patrick, for you life on and off stage and screen. Thank you, Mr. Baume.

I've adored that man for fifty years! I was first introduced to Patrick Stewart in 1976, when he portrayed Sejanus – the evil Praetorian Prefect – in "I, Claudius" on Masterpiece Theater. He may have been a villain, but I loved him all the same. Yum! When "Jeffrey" premiered in 1995, I was 32 and thrilled to see Stewart as part of the cast. I viewed his performance as fun, campy, and endearing – very "Wink, wink. Nudge. nudge." I gained a whole new level of respect for him – not only for taking the role, but for the robust fun he had with it. I saw it as a celebration of his love for gay people, not a stereotype at all.

I remember seeing Jeffrey in the theaters… loved it and sobbed at the ending.

And this is gonna get me sobbing all over again. TNG is my Trek, Picard my captain, and Stewart an icon. Irreplaceable.

Sterling is my Spirit Guide. I held profound admiration for Sir Patrick playing that role. It felt like a gift freely given, consequences be damned. Which there were none, now it's practically de rigeur to play a gay character now

I just heard the most brilliant observation. "Captain Picard fixed the timeline" and it hit me like a truckload of Tribbles. What a wonderful tribute to an absolute legend!

Jeffrey is one of my fav lgbtq movies. I’m so glad to see you talking about it (if you have before I missed it). I never see people talking about it and it’s never included in the list of important queer films which always makes me sad. I think it’s one of the must see queer love stories. I also think it’s a really important piece of media in the AIDS discussion. A lot of the media around AIDS can be very heavy and depressing (understandably) and as such people will avoid it. This movie did handle some of the sad stuff but it came at it I think from a different place. It was basically saying don’t let all the loss and pain and the bad stuff stop you from living and being happy and most importantly from loving. When I think of Patrick Stewart this is one of the roles I will always remember him for. ❤

11:40 "Patrick Swayze" 🤦🏼 😂
Patrick Stewart was even sexier than Swayze, imho! My mom and I loved his acting, and I now admire his love for the LGBT community. RIP, Sir Patrick! 💜💜

When I was 13, my mother took me on a trip to a theatre a couple of hours train ride away, I was there for company more than anything else.
The main actor was unwell that day and Patrick Stewart stepped in at the last minute to cover.
Afterwards, a little crowd gathered to thank him for doing so and he spoke to me for a little while as I was probably 3 decades younger than everyone else.
It was mid-1988; Star Trek: The Next Generation wasn't broadcast in the UK until 1990….
"MUM!!! MUM!!!"
"What! What it is?"
"Is that..that???"
"Oh, It's Patrick Stewart. What's he doing in this nonsense?"
Something along those lines anyway, she was very much not a fan of Sci-Fi.

0:04 HUH?!? HE WAS IN OBLIVION?!?!

Growing up in a rural part of the country, I found this movie shortly after my stepfather had died with AIDS. It helped me a ton. I still think Jeffery was his most important work.

Another Matt Baum video making me cry. I love that you are making these videos when our heros pass on, I just wish it didn't take their passing to do it.
