Found the full episode, which is about an hour-long. (Looks like it was the fourth episode in a nine-episode series.)

Green Room was a very different kind of role for Stewart. Rare to see him demonstrate genuine menace.

Long before Star Trek: The Next Generation, Patrick Stewart was turning up in supporting roles in quite major films: Excalibur; the mentor figure in Lynch's version of Dune; having an intense moment in LifeForce.

He also had a couple of interesting Shakespearean Revenging/Avenging Patriarch roles, playing against type as a bad guy in the great matched pair of 1997's Dad Savage and 2015's Green Room. EDIT: Ah, thirtyframesasecond beat me to it!

And there is also his appearance on the Ricky Gervais series Extras, playing a nudity-obsessed version of himself.

Bava's Baron Blood as well. Not to mention romping with Kenneth Williams in Carry On Behind, when the series tried to capitalise on the 'sexy Swedish' trend of the time!
