Stewart has been nominated for an Academy Award, an Emmy, and for numerous Writers Guild Awards. He is the father of three, sons Dylan and Sean, and daughter Shady. He is married to artist Judith Gersten. Stewart has recently completed his screenplay An Officer and a Gentleman – The Final Act, the long- awaited sequel to his original, which will go before cameras this year, starring the original actors along with a young leading lady who will play Zack and Paula’s daughter as she relives her father’s journey from the first film.
