In an exclusive excerpt from his new autobiography, 'Making It So,' the actor reveals a time when he got quite upset with his castmates at 'TNG' during the show's first season.
Is there anyone else here that feels that Patrick Stewart is violating the spirit of the SAG-AFTRA strike with his book promoting interviews?
While it’s likely his publisher wanted a fall release for the Christmas gift market, it seems really inappropriate that he’s out pitching how he wanted his show to end (with his real life wife getting another voice credit) or stories about TNG behind the scenes.
SAG members have been constrained from talking about the franchise in convention panels, or promoting their new shows, but he’s out there selling his book based on his career in the IP and distracting from Lower Decks which needs all the boost it can get.
It’s not making me admire Stewart, and settled any question of buying his book for the negative.

I can see the argument that it's splitting hairs, but he's promoting the book, not his acting work or Star Trek as a franchise.
Heh
