Patrick Stewart is best known for playing strong and serious characters, but the actor has never wanted to be boxed in. During a conversation at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, Stewart spoke openly about his career while promoting the film Green Room. Stewart explained that his time playing Captain Jean Luc Picard played a role in how MacFarlane viewed him. In the series, Stewart played Walter Blunt, a loud and reckless TV host who believed he was helping the world by saying exactly what was on his mind. In that same Toronto Film Festival discussion, Stewart admitted he would be happy if Walter Blunt became his legacy.
