Go ahead and tell actor Patrick Stewart to "make it so." You'll make his day.
Stewart, 60, became closely identified with the phrase uttered by Capt. Jean-Luc Picard to crew members of the starship Enterprise on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." It's as recognizable as William Shatner's "Beam me up, Scotty" in the original "Star Trek" TV series.
"It's charming. I'm happy and altogether pleased about that," he told the Associated Press.

Stewart, who is performing with Mercedes Ruehl in Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" at the Guthrie Theater, will begin work this fall on the next installment of the "Star Trek" movie series. Next year, he'll start work on the sequel to "X-men."
