Patrick Stewart never really considered himself a funny guy. After commanding a starship and a team of mutants in sci-fi and superhero franchises, Stewart's newest mission is starring in his first-ever TV comedy. With his role in Starz' "Blunt Talk" as naughty newsman Walter Blunt, the classically trained theater actor is discovering at age 75 that he can make folks laugh. "It's a fairly recent development," Stewart said earlier this summer on the show's set during a break from filming a scene with guest star Jason Schwartzman. Stewart said "It's no different, it's just a lot more fun. I was talking about this with Jason. The fundamentals don't change because going for truth, realism and spontaneity is all still the objective, but now it's also about going for humor. I've found the more serious you play the words from the script, the funnier they can become, so to my relief, it works."
