This lean, mean screen actor with steely blue eyes divides his time between starring in low-budget fare and turning in good character performances in high-end films. A football hopeful in college, Robert Patrick switched to acting and moved to Hollywood in 1984, where he promptly landed a role as a beatnik in the play "Go" and later returned to the stage in "The Shawl" in 1991.

For much of his early career Patrick excelled at playing villains and bad guys as in his screen debut as a psycho biker in "Warlords from Hell" (1987). He spun his wheels for awhile as another psycho in "Equalizer 2000"
