Robert Patrick has not had the best of careers, he's been in more direct to video films then anybody with good taste (me excluded) would watch, he's been severly typecast for much of his professional life. But he's enlivened a whole heckava lotta films that are much better off due to his presence. No matter how brief the role is (did you see him in Flags of our Fathers? You must have blinked), or how obscure the film is, the guy brings his A-game out every time and is always a welcome ingredient to any cinematic stew.
So lets celebrate Robert Patrick, the guy who even made the Double Dragon movie not only watchable, but somewhat entertaining.
That's right Rob, somebody actually liked you in that movie.
Some favorite roles
X-Files, episodes Medusa, Scary Monsters
The X-Files was a great show in spite of itself. With a convoluted and usually unsatisfying overrarching storyline, the episodes most people like best are the one-offs. Two of the best the show produced made excellent use of John Doggett's character, who was a pretty good, stabilizing addition to the cast. Would the last two seasons of the show had been as good as they were without Patrick? I can't say for sure, but I sure liked him. Especially in the two aformentioned episodes, which bring the awesome to the table in generous servings.
The Sorpranos
Briefly seen, but he was funny and affecting in a few episodes as a guy who can't keep a lid on his weaknesses.
and the villian calvacade of Terminator 2, Copland, The Faculty, The Marine, and the 40 seconds he was in Die Hard 2.
lets give the man a hand.
"Ah, thanks guys, you're too kind, really."
