Robert’s breakthrough role came as the legendary T-1000 in Terminator 2. He was the first actor in the history of motion capture and since then, he has worked on iconic films and television shows including Die Hard 2, Wayne’s World, Last Action Hero, Fire in the Sky, Cop Land, The Faculty, Walk the Line, Bridge to Terabithia, Spy Kids, Flags of Our Fathers and on the television hits The Sopranos, The Outer Limits, Elvis, The Unit, The X-Files and Sons of Anarchy. He starred as Agent Cabe Gallow in Scorpion for CBS for four seasons. He most recently was seen in the 3D re-release of T2 and the dark drama thriller Last Rampage, based on the real life prison escape and murderous rampage of Gary Tison. Of his acting in the film, which he also executive produced, Deadline wrote “Patrick is one of those actors who, like Gary Oldman, completely immerses himself into a role, no matter its size. In Last Rampage, he has a tour-de-force turn on the big screen in a true story portraying psychopath Gary Tison. One of these days, the Academy voters will perk up to just how good Patrick really is.”
On the small screen, Robert was a series regular on Season 6 of HBO’s True Blood and also appeared in the final season. He had a memorable role in the final season of Sons of Anarchy, did a cameo role on the cult favorite Community and had a supporting role in Season 1 of Robert Rodriguez’ From Dusk til Dawn for the El Rey Network.

In addition to his acting, Patrick is a lifelong supporter of the military and the USO. The grandson of an Army veteran, who served during World Wars I and II and the Korean War, Patrick grew up with a profound respect for troops. Devoted to giving back, he regularly goes on USO hospital visits and has participated in four USO tours to seven countries since 2008, visiting more than 8,100 service members and military families.
