Patrick Stewart – 81, Mirfield
Younger audiences will recognize Sir Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier from the X-Men films. But, before becoming Hollywood’s favorite bald man, Stewart honed his skill by performing in West End productions and collaborating with the Royal Shakespeare Company. In the 1980s, he made the transition from stage to screen, and he did so with a bang: he landed his most well-known role in Star Trek: The Next Generation, as the dynamic Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Surprisingly, Stewart is currently repeating the character in the TV series Star Trek: Picard, which will return for a second season in 2022. Queen Elizabeth II knighted him in 2010.

Peter Dean – 82, Hoxton
Peter Dean, who was born and bred in London, chose to pursue acting training after being caught practicing Shakespeare at Petticoat Lane Market when he was just 16 years old. The one-and-only Prunella Scales (from Fawlty Towers) recommended him to pursue an acting career, which he did with great success. Dean has been absent from the screen since 2016, but he is rumored to be working on a new film called Freedom Dance. Dean will be remembered for his role as Pete Beale in the EastEnders soap opera, despite appearing in over 40 projects. In addition, he has appeared in Woodentop and Coronation Street.
