Robert Patrick is an American actor. His brother, Richard Patrick, is the singer of rock band Filter. Robert is married to actress Barbara Hooper, with whom he has two children.
He has stated:
I’m a Southern boy. I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, a Scots Irishman. My family came over on the Mayflower, the Lamark family in Scotland and the Wallace clan.
And also:
My first [favorite] film would be Braveheart. I love that film. I have Scots-Irish ancestry, and I was very intrigued with it. I’m actually a part of the Wallace clan on my grandmother’s side, so I was very intrigued with the portrayal of William Wallace, even though I’m not a direct descendant.
