What happened

British actor Patrick Stewart, who played Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, has died at 86.

His longtime representative Kelly Bush Novak said he died at his home in Los Angeles, after a brief battle with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.

The sources differ on the day of death: The Hollywood Reporter says Wednesday, Ukrinform says Thursday, and Radio Svoboda says the day before an October 29 announcement.

Stewart spent decades in classical theatre in England, including the Royal Shakespeare Company, before Star Trek: The Next Generation made him known in America.

Producer Robert Justman cast him after catching a Shakespeare lecture Stewart gave at UCLA, despite doubts from Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry about a bald Briton leading the show.

In 2010 Stewart was knighted for services to drama, and he was nominated for a Golden Globe, an Emmy, a Tony and an Olivier Award.
