Now that the Starz comedy has debuted on the silver screen - well, let's just say no one's ever seen Patrick Stewart like this before. The "Star Trek" and "X-Men" actor portrays Walter Blunt, a popular British talk show host on "Blunt Talk."
What's surprising about Stewart is his real life personality is the extreme opposite of Walter Blunt's -- and his spectacular performance of it!
Just out today, the new trailer for #BluntTalk... (Watch the full version via link in bio.) A video posted by Patrick Stewart (@sirpatstew) on Jul 31, 2015 at 1:33pm PDT
In fact, within the first ten minutes of the show's pilot episode, he says "F-king house of Windsor," in addition to almost sucking the breasts of a prostitute, rapping, beating up some police and hopping on top of a car for a "Hamlet" monologue.
Adrian Scarborough stars in the series as well, who plays Patrick Stewart's servant, Harry. E! News sat down with the actors during the Starz press tour about the new show.

When asked on what it's like to work with Patrick Stewart, Adrian Scarborough says: "Working with Patrick is an hourly pleasure."
"Because well A, he's a professional to his fingertips, and B, he's been doing it a long time and really knows what he's doing, so that' been very useful to watch and be around," Scarborough explained.

But it's not just Patrick Stewart, it's also a "combination of everybody." Scarborough even says that the show's creator, Jonathan Ames "is a phenomenon."
"He thinks outside the box, and he thinks in really interesting convoluted and wonderful eccentric thoughts," Adrian Scarborough said.
