Emmy Award and Golden Globe-nominated actor Patrick Stewart stopped by THE TALK to chat about playing a complicated character named Tobi in his new movie, "Match." Later, Stewart, an Oscar voter, discusses the Oscar nominations, sharing "it's always such an exciting morning... important from an acting point of view... all of these guys are brilliant. I have to say there are some Brits... a little part of me rooting there."

Watch the clips below!

Patrick Stewart, Carla Gugino and Matthew Lillard will star in MATCH, written and directed by Stephen Belber. MATCH is based on Belber's 2004 Tony nominated Broadway play of the same title. The film centers on a reclusive, eccentric Julliard dance instructor and avformer choreographer, Tobi (Stewart), who is visited by a Seattle couple, Lisa and Mike (Gugino and Lillard) under the pretense of interviewing Tobi for Lisa's thesis on the New York dance movement in the sixties. However, as the couple's true intentions are revealed, Tobi is forced to face the impact of decisions he made long ago.

Patrick Stewart is a multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Award nominee who was last heard as the Narrator in Seth MacFarlane's hit comedy, "Ted." He recently completed production on the independent feature, "Hunting Elephants," and will soon reprise his role as 'Professor Charles Xavier' in the next installment of the hugely popular "X-Men" franchise, entitled "X-Men: Days of Future Past."
