Sir Patrick Stewart, the renowned actor known for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 'Star Trek' and Professor X in the 'X-Men' films, has died at the age of 86, CBS News reported.

A spokesperson confirmed to CBS News that Stewart passed away in Los Angeles after battling Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Stewart's career spanned decades, with more time spent on stage than on screen, as noted by the Wall Street Journal, highlighting his status as a celebrated thespian and royal knight.

In a 2020 CBS News profile, Stewart discussed returning to his iconic role in 'Star Trek: Picard' and his use of poetry as a refuge during the COVID-19 pandemic.

His death marks the loss of a significant figure in both classical theater and popular science fiction franchises, leaving a lasting legacy in entertainment.
