Biography
As rugged as he is genteel, the six-foot two-inch 220-lb Patrick Kilpatrick has been one of the finest screen/television character actors and villains of his generation, playing against a spectrum of Hollywood's leading action heroes, while occasionally delivering the redemptive, even sensitively challenged, hard-edged heroic role.

After nearly dying in a car crash as a teenager, he instead rehabilitated to largely do his own stunts in 100+ films and TV projects. His action film appearances span a multitude of genres and embrace an international Who's Who of leading men: Replacement Killers against Chow Yun Fat; Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Caan in Eraser, Last Man Standing opposite Bruce Willis, Under Siege II opposite Segal, Presidio opposite Sean Connery and Mark Harmon, two award-winning and highly rated original cable westerns opposite Tom Selleck -- Last Stand at Saber River and Crossfire trail, one western opposite Sam Elliot and Kate Capshaw -- HBO's Premiere Films adaptation of Louis L' Amour's The Quick and the Dead, and the ever-popular action mainstay Death Warrant opposite Jean Claude Van Damme, as The Sandman. He has even done battle with the largest mammal on earth in Free Willy III. The versatile Kilpatrick has played leads in everything from "American Playhouse" to a film debut in Nick Roeg's masterwork "Insignificance", to Shakespeare's "Anthony and Cleopatra" at Los Angeles Theater Center in the hands of Academy Award-winning director Tony Richardson. His resume embraces reoccurring roles on such hit television shows as "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" and "Tour of Duty", "Dark Angel", Stephen King's popular miniseries "The Stand", HBO's "ARLI$$" and many, many more. It was his work on James Cameron's "Dark Angel" that led Spielberg to seek him out for "Minority Report".

In one year and half whirlwind period, he did five major studio films, two independents and 27 television guest star spots on 18 different shows. The pace continues to the present with appearances on "Boomtown", "Las Vegas", "Blind Justice," "CSI-Las Vegas", "24" as Secret Service Agent Dale Spaulding -- "the man who 'killed' Jack Bauer", and hit shows "Criminal Minds" and James Wood's "Shark".

He travels the world organizing film, ecological business development and acting.

UDF recently hosted the Entertainment Conservation Summit in northern California - first time assemblage of Hollywood heavyweights and representatives of global outdoor sports and ecological groups. The UDF series "Natural Laws" was presented there. Currently single, he is the father of two sons, Ben and Sam. His interests range from politics to fashion, veteran's affairs to solar/wind energy application, gun ownership to Gandhi.
