Sir Patrick Stewart, acclaimed thespian and A-List Hollywood star, will have to emote like never before for his next role - one for which being told his performance stank would probably be high praise.
The 76-year-old actor is to play poop in the upcoming Emoji Movie, Sony Pictures Animation announced
on Wednesday, joining a cast that includes Broad City star Ilana Glazer, and comedians James Corden and T.J. Miller.
Miller is set to star as an emoji named Gene, who, unlike his digital friends, was born with multiple facial expressions.
"Emoji are expected to be one thing their whole lives. So I thought, what if one was born with not one, but lots of expressions ... and how would that affect the status quo," director Tony Leondis said at an SPA presentation.
"Everyone has felt different; it's everyone's story."
