I suppose his signature shaved head look staying essentially the same for all these decades made it easy to forget that he was actually ageing. I've only watched a little of TNG, but the role was iconic enough for me to know his name back in the Eighties. Even then, he was fan favourite to play Charles Xavier, so it was exciting when that came to fruition many years later... and yes - he was the perfect casting.</blockquote>
