Sir Patrick Stewart lent his voice to a severed pig's head named Pigtrick in the 2026 Prime Video dark comedy "Bait." This marks one of the acclaimed actor's final television roles. The series centers on Shah Latif, a British Pakistani actor played by Riz Ahmed, who faces an existential crisis following an audition for the iconic James Bond role.
Pigtric, a hate crime accessory, manifests as Shah's self-doubt and his desire for the respect typically afforded to actors in such high-profile roles. Shah carries the severed head, hearing Stewart's voice, as his hallucinations intensify over four days.
Ahmed revealed that Stewart was drawn to the project because he found the script unprecedented. The late actor's willingness to take on unconventional roles, even in his later career, showcased his dedication to his craft.
