Day 20: Patrick Stewart Campaigns with Assisted Dying Supporters
Actor Patrick Stewart joins campaign for ‘assisted dying’
BBC News (July 18, 2014)
Somehow, and I don’t entirely know the reasons, I completely missed these interviews with actor Patrick Stewart on the recent House of Lords assisted dying debate.
He’s got clearly articulated personal reasons for supporting Lord Falconer’s bill and understands how the proposed legislation would work. I also give him credit for supporting a cause that I can imagine some talent agents might suggest you avoid.
That said, he’s the kind of actor (and big name movie star) who doesn’t flinch when it comes to supporting causes he believes in.
Good interviews to watch.
