Patrick Stewart sees dead people

The ghost was probably trying to warn him that Huddersfield would lose today. 
Patrick Stewart has had an amazing career...
...but lately he's been performing on stage, which is exactly what he has wanted to get back to for a very long time...
I glimpsed 'Patrick Stewart' and 'dead' in the same headline and nearly had a heart attack. Ke-rist.
So did I.
But yeah, Stewart has been doing a lot of theatre work this last few years, from "Hamlet" (where the former "I, Claudius" actor played both Claudius as well as the Ghost, funnily enough) opposite David Tennant, to the aforementioned "Waiting For Godot" with Sir Ian McKellen (someone here I think has seen them in it when visiting London). It's his first love, really.
He picked up his third Olivier award. He's been working constantly for years, and he's been getting great reviews.
I scan read the article and mis-read the ghost actor's name as John Barrowman...
That makes three of us.

I saw it in London. 
Yes, it was good. I've never been a huge Ian McKellen fan, but he was mind bogglingly good. Patrick was very cute, and rather funny. I was sitting close enough to the stage to invoke the law that he's now my boyfriend (it was that good!).
In the paper a few days ago, in the sightings around London section, it mentioned seeing Patrick scooting around on his electric scooter. I wanted to go and try to stalk, but sadly returned to Canada.

It is interesting that nobody has any interest in the claim that he saw a ghost.
It was superb!
David Tennant saw a ghost. Admittedly, the ghost was played by Patrick Stewart too...

Oh my, thank God I didn't see it that way. Patrick Stewart is one of the most genuine people in the acting world... the way he perceives Star Trek as a cultural and political piece of history is exactly the way people will in our future... not as some petty "nerdy" science fiction, but as the "1984" for our generation. He even said that all his work on Shakespeare served to prepare him to be the Captain of the Enterprise.
Patrick Stewart may be my favorite celebrity of all time as both as both a professional and a man of character outside the stage.
Patrick Stewart was playing in the most haunted theatre in the West End:
The most genuinely haunted theatre in London is not the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, as most people believe, but the Theatre Royal Haymarket. ‘So many different people have seen exactly the same spirit,’ says (stage manager) Walsh, ‘and when they’re shown a picture of the gentleman in question, who’s called John Buckstone, all of them recognise him and say: “Yeah, that’s the man I saw”. These are people like Judi Dench and Donald Sinden, as well as the master carpenter and the chief electrician.’ Buckstone was the actor-manager of the theatre from 1853 to 1879, and apparently still likes to take an interest in the place, popping up in dressing rooms (particularly his own, Dressing Room 1), stairwells, the royal box and once even on stage during a performance.
