One comment for “X-Men professor becomes real professor”

  1. Patrick Stewart was the best actor that they could have ever got to tplay Professor X. You can say that he “embodies” role in every way. I loved his character in Star Trek and loved his character in X-Men (though I hated all the sequels past Part 1).

    He is truely one of my favorate actors. He’s a natural and unfortunately I know that he has what you cannot teach at any university.
