Star Trek: The Next Generation and X-Men: Days of Future Past star Patrick Stewart has "ended" the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, writing an undisclosed check to charity and then pouring himself a drink rather than pouring an ice bucket over his head.

The challenge, which has gone viral with seemingly countless celebrities doing it, has drawn some criticism since, nominally, it's meant to "avoid" donations to charity. Many of the participants have donated anyway.

Stewart, though? In a short, quiet, classy video, he's put the focus squarely on the charitable aspect.
