[edit] Career

Patrick decided to get into acting after completing an internship at an advertising agency. While looking for acting courses on the internet he came across a casting call for the movie Miracle. Luckily, he caught the auditions the day before they ended. To prepare for the movie Miracle Patrick trained with the real Mike Eruzione’s hockey team. In reality Patrick only lived twenty minutes from Eruzione’s home in Winthrop, Massachusetts. After the success of Miracle Patrick moved to Sherman Oaks, California to continue his acting career. Two years after the release of Miracle Patrick only got one major role opportunity for the movie Big Bad Wolf but he turned it down. He then returned to Danvers to spend more time with his family and to re-examine his life’s goals. He worked in construction briefly but then returned to California to give acting another try. Soon after returning to California Patrick got an offer to play a major role in the movie Frail.
