Laurence Olivier

Laurence Olivier (22 May 1907 - 11 July 1989) was a British actor who lived during the 20th century. He was well known for his performances in adaptions of Shakespearean plays.

After performing Act IV, Scene I of Henry V on the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)'s holodeck in 2366, Lt. Commander Data told Captain Jean-Luc Picard that he planned to discuss the performances of Olivier, Kenneth Branagh, Shapiro and Kullnark as Henry V in further his understanding of both the character and the play. However, Picard advised against it, claiming that he should discover Shakespeare through his own performance rather than by imitating others.
