He has played a mutant with superhuman abilities, the captain of the Starship Enterprise and Macbeth, but fans of Patrick Stewart are now hoping the classically trained actor will take on his most difficult role to date.

After seeing a photo of Stewart in drag from last year, many on social media are urging Saturday Night Live to cast the British thespian as President Trump's White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.

That would make for the third member of President Trump's team to be played by a member of the opposite sex, with Melissa McCarthy doing guest appearances as Press Secretary Sean Spicer and Kate McKinnon playing Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

McKinnon also currently plays Conway.

Stewart was photographed in drag last April during an event for his Starz comedy 'Blunt Talk.'

He appeared in drag on an episode of the show's second season, and said at the time: 'I think I looked rather glamorous.'

Stewart also admitted that his wife had to lend him a helping hand to walk around in his heels.

Soon after the episode aired last year people began to comment on the likeness between the two, with calls for Stewart to stop by Saturday Night Live.

Then, on Monday, a Reddit user posted a screen grab that showed the photo of Stewart in drag appearing in a Google Image search for Conway.

There has been no word from Saturday Night Live or Stewart about a possible appearance, and Conway has not commented on the social media comments comparing the two.

She did however speak with TMZ over the weekend about her favorite Saturday Night Live skit this season, revealing it was the 'Day Off' sketch.

In that sketch, Conway (played by McKinnon) admits to CNN anchor Jake Tapper that President Trump is crazy.

'It's charming, Conway said of McKinnon's impression of her on the show.
