Today, Huffington Post announced that Sir Patrick Stewart has been knighted by the Queen of England.
“This is an honor that embraces those actors, directors and creative teams who have in these recent years helped fill my life with inspiration, companionship and sheer fun,” says Stewart.
Guess who also was knighted? Peter Jackson! New Zealand has their own honors list for knighthood, which is then approved up by the Queen.
Sir Peter Jackson is currently working on The Hobbit.
Puts tears in a geek’s eyes. He was recognized not only for his work with Star Trek, but also for his stage work, including his Tony nominated performance for MacBeth.
Some of my favorite things aren’t in film or stage. I love his reading of The Last Battle, written by C. S. Lewis. He does additional audio books as well.
