    Gurney Halleck gets knighted

    You may not know of him, but the guy who played Gurney Halleck is now Sir Patrick Stewart. He was in some other minor stuff too, but he's mostly famous for the Dune role in David Lynch's film.

    Engage.

    I'm pretty sure he's best known for his voice work. He plays the dad on American Dad. Or the alien. Or the talking baby? I haven't seen it.

    So, apparently being Knighted is like getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame now days, except the homeless don't piss all over your award.

    Stephen Hawking turned down knighthood because he said he dislikes the concept.

    Also, probably the whole lifting the sword and armor thing.

    I am a terrible person.

    He was also Claudius in a really excellent BBC production of Hamlet.

    Now if we see him we can challenge him to joust and he'll have to accept.

    From the comment on the page: "Worf, do NOT stun the Queen! Even though she has a sword at my throat, I'm sure she means me no harm."

    How about Gielgud in Caligula?

    Or, posthumously/digitally, Olivier in, um, damn, that airplane-fantasy adventure movie whose plot was so enormously stupid I can't remember the title?

    I actually thought he had already been knighted. Maybe being knighted will be the new RIP thread.

    "That person was still unknighted!?"
