In 2003, Stewart appeared in two high profile stage productions: Ibsen's The Master Builder in London's West End and most recently he completed a run of Harold Pinter's drama The Caretaker on Broadway with fellow “Mysterious Island” star Kyle MacLachlan. Stewart is well-known for his roles in two hit movie franchises. He stars as Professor Charles Xavier in 20th Century Fox's "X-Men" and "X-2" both directed by Bryan Singer. He also stars as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the "Star Trek" feature films, a role he played on television for six years. Stewart earned both Emmy® and Golden Globe nominations for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series or Mini-Series for his role as Captain Ahab in USA Network's “Moby Dick,” opposite Gregory Peck and Henry Thomas. In 1998, Stewart received critical notice for his portrayal in the title role of Othello at the Shakespeare Theater in Washington, DC. On television, Stewart originated the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard in the hit series "Star Trek: The Next Generation" which aired from 1988 to 1994; this role earned him Best Actor nominations from the American TV Awards and the Screen Actors Guild. In addition to his starring role, he also directed several episodes, one of which ("A Fistful of Datas") received an Emmy®. Stewart reprised the role of Captain Picard for Paramount Pictures in the motion pictures "Star Trek: Generations" (which also starred William Shatner and Malcolm McDowell), "Star Trek: First Contact," "Star Trek: Insurrection" and "Star Trek: Nemesis." Stewart's additional film credits include the film adaptation of Paul Rudnick's play, "Jeffrey," "Hedda," "Dune," "Lady Jane," "Excalibur," "LA Story," "Death Train," "Robin Hood: Men In Tights," "Gunmen," "Masterminds," "The Pagemaster," "Conspiracy Theory," "Safe House" and "Dad Savage."

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

Box 338 Kingston, RI 02881 401-783-8853 2 Stuart Chases’s Use Of Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, (1874) There are two very specific reasons why this piece was researched and written. The first is a continuation of my work done on Stuart Chase (various publications). I am still hopeful my efforts will inspire an historian to do a 1000 page biography on Stuart Chase. The second is further example why my idea of using Verne’s book as the basis for a one-day management seminar is worth trying. I’ve explored this idea with a number of friends and hope that this piece will take at least one of them to try this idea. I am classifying this as a casual piece and have no interest in this being written for a vigorous academic review.

  • Kyle Maclachlan
    KYLE MACLACHLAN ACCLAIMED ACTOR KYLE MACLACHLAN has brought indelible charm and a quirky sophistication to some of film and television’s most memorable roles. Since 2005, MacLachlan has channeled his strong interest in the world of wine into a second, equally satisfying professional pursuit. A native of Yaki- ma, Wash., located in the heart of the Columbia Valley wine appellation MacLachlan has produced three highly-rated Columbia Valley wines: Pursued by Bear Cabernet Sauvignon, Baby Bear Syrah and his most recent, Blushing Bear Rosé. What began as an unabashed love for his home state and a desire to stay connected to his family roots has become a true passion and dedication to the craft of winemaking. MacLachlan has be- come an advocate and evangelist for the unique properties and flavor profile of Washington state wines. He is personally involved in every aspect of Pursued by Bear wines. MacLachlan sees a connection between acting and winemaking in terms of the combination and balance of process, patience and creativity. He chose to call his wine Pursued by Bear as an homage to perhaps the most famous of all stage directions, “exit, pursued by bear,” from Act III, scene iii of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale. It’s a funny and unexpected phrase that’s not only a nod to his theatrical roots but also plays to his sense of humor. “It just seemed to fit what I was trying to do,” he said. MacLachlan is perhaps best known for his performance as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper in David Lynch’s ground-breaking series Twin Peaks, for which he received two Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe Award.
