Trivia[]
- Has played the same character (T-1000) in three movies: Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Wayne's World (1992) and Last Action Hero (1993).
- Immediately after being cast in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), he took a martial-arts crash course, then began exhaustive strength, endurance, and weapons-training sessions. "For three months," he says, "all I did was sleep, eat, take vitamins, and train."
- Has the distinction of being the only actor killed on screen by all three of the Planet Hollywood founders: Bruce Willis (in Die Hard 2 (1990)), Sylvester Stallone (in Cop Land (1997)), and most famously by Arnold Schwarzenegger (in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)).
- His first ten years in the film business consisted mostly of small parts in "B" pictures; he made so little money from acting that he had to take a job as a bartender to supplement his income.
- Is the older brother of successful musician Richard Patrick, the frontman for the rock band Filter and guitarist for the rock band Nine Inch Nails.
- Member of the Boozefighters Motorcycle Club.
Quotes[]
- You can't think about how people will perceive you or your character. All you can do is focus on your work. The rest is up to the universe.
- I've been acting for 16 years. I've done 55 movies and, in all seriousness, there's maybe five that are good and the rest are crap.
- I love acting, period. If I'm going to get hired as a psycho, by God I'll take the job. I am enjoying playing humans a little bit more now.
- I think every experience you have working with people you admire and respect really enriches you as an artist. I'm the kind of actor that talks to myself in a weird way to find whoever it is I'm looking for.
- If acting hadn't worked out? I never really gave that a lot of thought. Acting HAD to work out. I never gave myself another option. I had no choice.
- I think 90% of acting is makeup and wardrobe. The other 10% is what I do here in my office, bouncing off the walls.
- Acting is the only thing I have to offer so a day doesn't go by when I don't stop and appreciate this.
- I looked to animal and insect imagery to develop the lack of substance and wasted motion that my Terminator has. I tried to tap into the killer instinct inherent in animals, where they are locked onto a target and will walk through anything that gets between them and their intended target.
