11 Years Later, Patrick Stewart's Near-Perfect Siege Thriller Is Officially Free on Streaming
Check out one of Stewart's rare villain roles in Jeremy Saulnier's grimy crime film
Eleven years have passed since Patrick Stewart portrayed a neo-Nazi druglord in Jeremy Saulnier's rural thriller, Green Room. The late actor, best known for his heroic roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Professor Charles Xavier, was not often seen as a villain on screen or stage. In Green Room, however, Stewart took on the role of Darcy, a skinhead bar owner who decides to kill his guests to protect his illegal activities.
This performance was a stark departure from Stewart's usual roles as kings, leaders, and heroes, and showed his ability to play the banality of evil. The film, which is about a group of punks caught in a violent situation, is described as grimy and brutal, with no one left unscathed. Stewart's role as the villain was a significant one, showcasing his flexibility as an actor. The film is currently streaming for free on Tubi.
