What if someone else was cast to play the role of Picard? Who likely could have captured Picard as well as Patrick Stewart and were there others who could have potentially fit the role, if for whatever reason Patrick Stewart never wanted the role?

I'd say the short answer is "TNG would have been a little different, but not necessarily in a bad way".
Yaphet Kotto would have been such a bold choice and it really could have worked.
If I could go for another British actor, who was at a pretty similar point in their career to do something like TNG I might consider Anthony Hopkins.

I know Patrick Bauchau from "The Pretender" so it's wild to think of Sydney being Picard. He's who I often think of most as an alternate version of the captain, Julien Picard.
Let's not forget Stephen Macht, who would have been great in the role.
