I love that story about Patrick Stewart's casting. As the story goes...

His agent is trying to convince him that this is going to be a big deal. He's hesitant to get involved in another sci-fi franchise. His agent tells him it's more than a superficial comic book stereotype and mentions the civil rights allegory. He agrees to take a look at one of the X-Men comics. He's handed one of the issues they have on hand, and gets a little mad. "Why are they already using my likeness on the cover of this?"
