IDK, for Graham Chapman (Monty Python) most of his best bits were mercilessly lampooning authoritarian men like his policeman father, and others of their generation who fought in the war. He amplified these traits to make them look absurd. e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colonel_(Monty_Python) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Colonel_(Monty_Python) Graham Chapman was also an alcoholic. Sir Patrick Stewart played Captain Picard as a better man, compassionate, fair and sincere, only stern when necessary, and not a reflexively violent authoritarian. And he seems to be doing fine. Maybe moving to California and getting therapy was the right move for him.
