జీవిత చరిత్ర
Patrick Davey Tully was born in Aleppo, Syria to parents who were both cultural anthropologists.
In the early morning hours of his second day of life, doctors authorized a medical-evacuation. Lacking a passport, Patrick was denied an exit visa by a high-ranking airport official. Frantic phone calls produced a higher-ranking official who, while still wearing his pajamas, jumped from his limo and authorized Patrick's flight from Syria to London and eventually to Seattle, Washington where he was raised.
Ever since Patrick was a child, he figure skated regularly and was in various figure skating competitions. The adrenaline rush of competitive figure skating was addictive and it comes as no surprise that Patrick has always enjoyed performing in front of an audience.
Since elementary school, Patrick Davey Tully has performed in plays, but it wasn't until 8th grade that he was bitten by the acting bug. Notable plays have included A Midsummer Night's Dream as both Francis Flute and Thisbe, in addition to Macbeth as Thane of Ross. He also was a part of an acting ensemble at his high school, Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, that put together shows based on collaborative work. These collaborative works included interpreting paintings into improvisational performances to be developed into one play: Homeland, in addition to a daily improvised lunchtime soap opera: Knock, Knock.
Patrick Davey Tully directed and starred in two films, one receiving an Honorable Mention from The Northwest Film and Video Festival. He directed and starred in a dramatic narrative: Anxiety, which dealt with the extreme anxiety created in high school students by unreasonable expectations and pressures, filmed from the perspective of one character ("Patrick"). In another film, Zambian Memories, Patrick focused on Zambia's love of music and the integration of music in the culture using footage he filmed during one of several trips to Zambia.
Patrick has always wanted to make an audience laugh and take their minds of their troubles for a while. He is able to find humor in just about anything. Patrick also enjoys the opportunity to connect with an audience at a visceral level, allowing the audience to come to terms with their own beliefs and to move them in a new direction.
Patrick moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting as a profession and make the world laugh along the way. He is a diverse actor, who can tackle the most serious work of George Bernard Shaw and the slapstick of Shakespeare.
Patrick Davey Tully graduated from the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts acting conservatory in Los Angeles, CA. His work as Cancer Man in Holy Ghosts, Polonius in Hamlet, as well as Mr. Emanuelli in Once A Catholic are among his favorite roles at the Academy.
Patrick believes an actor can never have too much practice looking into his life and work to hone technique. His ambitions are to develop a one-man show, seek roles in television and film, as well as travel the world. He has a well-worn and up-to-date passport.
