Biographie
A worldly, intelligent performer who stands out in most rooms for his towering height and authoritative demeanor, Patrick can often be seen inhabiting characters that combine an aloof, stoic presence, with a complex moral compass. He has brought a powerful, uncompromising, and naturalistic style to his work on screen for playing intense antagonists, strong anti-heroes, and often very damaged characters who are at a profound crossroads in life.
Patrick appeared in 2022 as the curt pharmacist Kevin in the pilot episode of Panhandle (2022). He had recurring guest star role of Ryder, the intimidating brother of series regular Trinity Whiteside's character Preston, on Tyler Perry's Sistas on BET in 2021. Also in 2021, he appeared in the final chapter (1666) of the highly anticipated Fear Street Trilogy on Netflix. He played a powerful supporting role as the cruel Hank Beaumont, opposite star Dayo Okeniyi, in the 2020 Pre-Civil War thriller Emperor. He can also be seen in his recurring role as the eternally downbeat Ken in the 2019 hit comedy series Florida Girls opposite series creator and star Laura Chinn.
A native of Seattle, WA, he has worked in theatre and film since he was a teenager and spent most of his summers attending plays and workshops at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland. After school he worked in theatre in the Seattle area, later joining the Washington Shakespeare Festival where he received outstanding reviews for his ability to perform Shakespeare in a naturalistic and approachable style. From there, he starred in the film A Thousand Years as a young widower dealing with the emotional fallout of his wife's sudden death. He then joined the ensemble cast of the original play Odes by Nathan Auer, which premiered at the Seattle Fringe Festival to rave reviews. Again he played a young widower with a child trying to cope with modern relationships in a complex dating scene.
By the early 2000's, Patrick pursued one of his other business ventures as a master kiltmaker. He was highly regarded as an excellent craftsman and expert on tartans. Always an adventurer, upon retiring from kilt making, he traveled the world learning to dogsled in the Yukon Territory, riding camels in the Arabian desert, photographing tigers in the jungles of Central India, cage diving with Great White Sharks at Isla Guadalupe, and going on photo safaris in Southern Africa.
By 2013, he moved to the Southeast to take up acting again. In 2015 he won Best Actor for the dark comedy Behind Closed Doors for his portrayal as a bitter man going through unconventional marriage counseling. In 2016 he won Best Actor for the film Scalawag playing a Union prisoner of Southern decent who must come to terms with the consequences of his loyalties. Once again in 2017, he won Best Actor for the film In Deed playing a mysterious salesman with a checkered past seeking redemption. In 2018, he was nominated for Best Actor for the thriller Chello playing a murderous drifter who wreaks havoc in a small Southern community.
In his leisure time, he enjoys cooking, travel, photography, history, and cultural studies.
