Robert Patrick shares a story of James Cameron giving him the confidence to advance his career, along with the role of T-1000 in Terminator 2.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Robert Patrick (Peacemaker, Terminator 2) joins us this week and shares his unique perspective in this industry with a forty year tenure, no practical training, and missed opportunities before he found sobriety. Robert opens up on how despite how iconic his character as T-1000 was in Terminator, and how he owes his career to James Cameron, he had to change his appearance to distance himself from the character. We also talk about his chemistry and bond with John Cena, how Demi Moore’s psychic helped save his life, and how Robert got Clint Eastwood to break on set uncontrollably.

How James Cameron gave Robert Patrick his career by casting Terminator 2 #insideofyou #robertpatrick #terminator
No one could have played T-1000 better than Robert Patrick. He gets the honor of being in possibly the greatest movie of the 90s.
Not just being in....but being THE antagonist
Of all time
He is one of the most ominous, menacing, creepy antagonists of all time. Besides maybe Darth Vader or Michael Myers, no other villain embodies the fear and angst that he did as the T-1000.
@@silentk59 I think T-1000 was scarier than Darth Vader because he (it) looked more like us and it came coming at us. That's what nightmares are made of . . .
Theirs tons of people who could have played it, its just he was cast almost perfectly and gave it its best.
The T-1000 was absolutely terrifying. He was cold, smooth, and sinister all at once He ran with such inhuman speed and grace while maintaining an emotionless yet relentlessly focused stare. The T-1000 running after you is the stuff of nightmares. The way Robert brought the character to life was mesmerizing.
I was in the forth grade when I saw T2 in cinemas. Had nightmares for weeks, and had to close my eyes every time Robrer was in the scene, I can still clearly remember the fear, when the sound design and this menacing thing walked into a scene. Holly shit. It also taught me you don't need a hideous monster to create horror...
Those "being chased" nightmares are some of the worst! Thank God I never had one where the T-1000 was chasing me! I would've pissed in my jammies! 😆😳
There's something about how they had to change how things were shot because he was running to fast
I recently rewatched T2 and it's aged extremely well. Still looks great and terrifying as hell. Too bad The Sarah Conner Chronicles didn't last more than 2 seasons.
yes exactly, i was a young teen when that movie came out and I was definitely terrified every time he came on screen
He talks about kindness and he was one of the kindest celebrities I have ever met. Met him on a uso and he was one of two guys that stayed and took pictures with whoever wanted. Even retook photos after mine was jacked up. He practices what he preaches.
But damn was he an asshole in The Peacemaker series, shows how much he's a great actor as well
Same... I did Security Escort for him and his other co-stars of The Unit in Kandahar '09. He is a good dude.
I had the same experience. I met him at a comicon and he talked with everyone. He was super kind and wanted to chat with everyone. I'm a fan for life after that day.
He sure dropped a lot of f-bombs in a 3 minute interview. LOL! I'm glad to hear he's a good guy. The world needs as many of those as possible!
@@abn3r507 and gave me nightmares as a kid as the T1000.
His "Last Action Hero" cameo was gold!
Lol
Waynes world 2
@@gamleskalle1 both
and the music video for Broken from NIN :D
That movie was so underrated, it should have been one of Schwarzenegger's biggest movies.
I met him at a comic con. The nicest celebrity I've ever met by far. Actually took the time to have a conversation with me and made me feel like I was just talking to a friend. Even asked me questions about myself. Such a genuinely nice guy.
Thanks for sharing that story.😊👍
I Truly love to hear things like this. GOD bless you both.
amazing, hope to meet him someday. Super real
I met him too in Montreal, he was super nice 👍
Robert Patrick will always be my favourite villian from the big screen. Iconic role.
He is and always will be my favorite villain as the T-1000, he is a legend.
My favorite Villain(ess)is that FINE chick? in T3!!😍.
@@rudygracia5573 True, Kristanna Loken is awsome. Even in crap and sh*t movie "Bloodrayne".
Whenever I see Robert Patrick in a show or movie or what not, I always say, "Hey it's the T-1000!" 😅😅😅
Loved Robert Patrick in the X-Files, often overshadowed or overlooked but he really did a great job pulling the whole saga together, took a while but once his character was properly fleshed out he was a great addition to the series and felt very natural.
Doggett was a great character indeed.
I completely agree. I love his performance. Great addition to the universe.
Yes. By that time the series had went way off the rails. Robert Patrick was the saving Grace to in those last 2 seasons.
I agree....I liked his character
John and Monica deserved a few more seasons. I loved Doggett from the end of his first episode and Reyes got so strong in the one season in which she had full billing. They would have been perfect to carry the series forward after the effective retconning of the William debacle... the mythology just collapsed under its own weight.
Sold him cigars once. He stayed and smoked one, talked with everyone and was just incredibly nice, open and genuine. Great dude!!!
Underrated and criminally underused actor.
🥱
Agree 💯. He has been in some bad movies but he is always believable.
@@nathanabney3847 Exactly. This guy and M.Biehn should off been in many more movies.
Robert is known for being one of the nicest and most humble guys in Hollywood. The dude is always grateful for whatever role he gets big or small. Arnold said In an interview that Robert is one the most selfless people working in the industry that always takes time out of his day to speak everyone on set.
Such a brilliant piece of casting for T2. So thin and unassuming compared to Arnold's bruiser T-800, but Robert Patrick was so intense, and after he chases down the car, you never doubt that he's more than a match for the much larger T-800.
I will never forget that “whoa” feeling as a kid in the theater, when not only was he chasing John’s dirt bike on foot, he was actually keeping up.
I can not think of a better(worse or more terrifying) bad guy to have that the T-1000(not listing all the reason, many already have, we all know why the T-1000 would scare the crap out of you if it was chasing you), and add to that the way Robert played the character, was just perfect. He is by far my favourite bad guy actor, such a range in the movie for him, from having to act like a human police officer interacting with other people, to the cold merciless killing machine. Robert Patrick will always be a huge favourite of mine for this role, perfectly nailed it.
Exactly.
Perfect example of "show, don't tell". Long chases with many attempts to stop him and he just kept coming ..... with little to no dialog and you were absolutely TERRIFIED the whole way!!!!
FO SHO!!!!!!!!
Patrick had the agility of a leopard with the way he ran, also the killer instinct of a big cat. He was perfectly cast, as not many can look like they could actually take Arnold in a fight. But Partick pulled it off. A fine actor with bags of screen presence.
He was terrifying in Terminator 2. I don't scare easy but his emotionless machine was perfect.
Still the best Terminator movie , they've never been able to recreate the horror element the original 2 films had.
absolutely the best terminator film ever.. not only is is the best by far in the franchise but just in general its an almost perfect film.. the CG has stood the test of time.. this is 30 years ago we re talking about and the special effects still look amazing...the movie doesnt look dated at all.. just a timeless movie that is super rewatchable
And they never will again. T2 is the perfect end to the story. They need to stop.
@@peteyd1984 I completely agree.. they needed to stop after T2 but you know you have milk that cash cow.. it was the perfect ending to a perfect movie that didn't need all the sequels.. after T2 theres no place but down for this franchise to go..
Agreed.
One of the best films ever made let alone best Terminator movie lol
T2 is a phenomenal movie. In no small part due to an incredible villain. Just a relentless vicuous beast that haunts every moment of the story. You can't just get any old actor to play a role like that. Gotta be a special actor. And Patrick was a revelation. I often think about this movie and probably watch it once a year.
It had everything. A sequel that stuck to the rules of the first movie while subverting expectations, a heartfelt and logical script, a good hero, a GREAT villain (and neither were perfect), mind-blowing visuals, and an arc of redemption.
There is only TERMINATOR and T2. No other Terminator movies exist.
@@daynechastant yeah those two movies tell a full story. no need to go beyond that.
He gave his absolute all to this film and opportunity as well, running miles per day so he could do all his stunts and physical scenes without breaking into a sweat nor breathing heavily. Not only that, but he still got so much depth despite the stoicism required for the role, you just know that smirk and nod with the comment of "Say, that's a nice bike..." was ALL him, his subtle characteristics absolutely crushed it for this role.
dude ran so fast he could outrun a motorcycle, in the first chase of John at the Galleria he actually caught it, he was amazing
Robert is very talented and dedicated, but I honestly think his striking good looks also sealed the deal in getting him the T-1000 role.
He is absolutely amazing in the faculty
Its incredible how memorable his cameo was in Die Hard 2. It was so quick for his character to die in the story but its forever engraved the scene that he was in.
- Do you know who I am ?
- Yeah, sitting duck
He was possibly chosen from James Cameron watching die hard, sometimes that is all takes, he looked like a potential future villain. There were a few memorable bad guys in that movie.
Wouldn't really call it a cameo imo. Definitely a featured bad guy role though :)
Crazy how nice & down to earth he is in interviews he's downright terrifying in T2, Even more so than Arnold who's always robotic, but with Robert because he looks & acts somewhat human in the movie, yet has an unnerving way of moving & the way he talks to people/victims has a menacing quality to it
My favorite scene was Connor's stepdad saying there was a big guy on a bike looking for John too, and Patrick gave that little smirk. "No, I wouldn't worry about him"
It is true I’ll forever remember him as the best villain ever in a movie.. that look he gives that fast run he does the way he talks
"The Galleria?" I love his certainty for confirmation like, Are You Sure! 😆💯👍🏾
Love this man he is a sweetheart and really gives back.
Ironic considering he played such a terrifying villain!
@@pathologicaldoubt I think the best villains are played by lovely people
Loved him as John Doggett in X-Files also. Such a talented and versatile actor.
Yeah he was great as the agent.
He was awesome. A great character.
Great in Sopranos too
@@Yeast85 Good old Davey Scatino
John Barrett in Burn Notice too.
Brilliant casting. I remember like it was yesterday, seeing Robert on screen for the first time. Chilling.
I met Robert at a convention a few years ago and he was the nicest guy there. I ran into him in an airport restaurant a few years later and still the nicest person there.
Guys an absolute legend in my eyes. His performance was amazing in The Sopranos, and as a gambler myself, I really felt his pain.
OMG yes, he was amaaaazing in The Sopranos. Fantastically good. Of course, everybody's of such a high standard in that show, but Patrick stands out as a genuine genius actor who gives a world class performance. So, so good.
He's also very, VERY funny! On the director's commentary of T2 Cameron said that while they were filming the T-1000's arrival a commuter train went by. Robert Patrick stood up straight, smiled, and waved at it.
While stark naked.
And he waved without using his hands!
@@roarickshults3171 Now THAT'S TALENT!!!
@@roarickshults3171 More of a salute.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia Ok this one got me. 🤣😂
Hé was Tony Stark naked that’s the best naked I have no idea why I typed this but I did
Robert was so good in T2. The look of determination on his face throughout the movie was scary.
You can do this n you did Robert. This is the kind of guy you can't help but root for
Im brazilian. I was 13 i guess when i watched on TV, T2 for the first time, and i couldnt sleep because of this guy. Great role, great acting!
He trained so hard for T2 that during the scene where he runs after John on the dirt bike he kept catching up to John.
I have always enjoyed Mr. Patrick in the roles he played. Never really knew anything about him. It's good to read that he is a nice person.
Even heard that Edward Furlong was genuinely scared he will catch up to him again!
@@TheSwedishTraveler, I'd probably have nightmares. I'd also feel bad because Robert Patrick seems like a really nice guy.
Seriously man, Robert gave 100% and nailed it in every fucking scene he was in. ESPECIALLY shooting a goddamn Baretta in a closed room without even blinking. Show me someone else who'd train this hard to pull this off. Nobody does that. He really understood this role and really made this character feel real and menacing. THAT is why you can still watch Terminator 2 and don't feel like it's 32 years old now. I admire this guy so much and am so happy for him that it kickstarted his career. This guy worked hard as hell for it.
I see you everywhere man. I’m a big Kw fan too
@@viborgvee8399 hahaha hey there :D What can i say.... i love engaging in the comments on YT. 😋🤖
His sprint after the police car without facial expression; just looked effortless.
He blinked once in the entire film, and that when T-1000 and T-1800 first meet. Dude trained himself to do it, and when running after John who was on the dirt bike, the first take Robert actually caught Edward Furlong. Robert Patrick had to slow himself down in the scene so John Conner got away.
Worked with him several times here in Vancouver and a true fucking gem of a human being. Kind, funny and a true badass! #Shoutout Smallville cast and crew!!!
This guy has always been one of my favorite actors ever. 'Terminator 2' he was amazing and his career from that point on has been stellar. I thought he was incredible in 'Fire in the sky', Johnny Cash's dad in 'Walk the line', 'the Faculty', so forth and so on in movies. & X files is 1 of my favorite shows ever which had grown stagnant and when him and Annabeth Gish came on board and took over, their characters breathed new life into the show. I love everything this guy has ever done. Seems so cool in real life too.
I absolutely love this man! What a legend!
I appreciated Mr. Patrick in X-files.
Same here. He was great, and I loved it.
"Call to John.... I know this hurts... Call to John now"
Robert Patrick played one of the greatest villains ever.
What a compelling interview. Great energy!
Love Robert Patrick he is an Outstanding actor. God Bless him and you for putting him on the show! Loved him in Terminator and X-Files and all he has been in. :)
I was watching this guy in The Outer Limits earlier today. He's Great!
Good episode if it's the one I'm thinking of. Sad what happens to him in it...
You are right, Robert Patrick. Being kind to people cost little, but might make a tremendeous impact. Kudos to a superb actor and clearly an intelligent man.
I met Robert in Heathrow. He asked me if he needed to wear a face mask for the duration of the flight. My response: "sir I can't tell the T-1000 to cover his mouth!".
He seems to be one of the real ones
T2 is such a legendary movie. It’s what got me hooked on sci-fi and post apocalyptic genre.
Still can't get over that his brother is Richard Patrick from Filter! Very talented brothers, indeed who have had quite successful careers! Robert Patrick really fell into the roll of John Dogget in X-Files. I don't think he could have carried without Gillian Anderson, but his role and time was enjoyable!
There were definitely some good episodes after David left the show but it wasn't the same. No way he could have carried it alone. Give him a spin off maybe.
You only say that because Scully was in it from the beginning. Your used to seeing her with Mulder, so that's why you believe there should be two agents investigating, instead of one.
@@peterlenham3180 The show is based around two agents lol it doesn't work with only one and no one would want to watch it with only one. Name me one show that only has one lol There's always at least two, even if there's only one main agent or detective etc... there's always a support that's always there. The show requires two, that's why he wouldn't be able to carry it alone. Not because he's just used to seeing Scully and Mulder. Which is still a good enough reason either way, Xfiles is Scully and Mulder. There's no Xfiles without them both, that's why Scully quit shortly after because she knew it was hopeless without Mulder. Just look how much Law and Order SVU went downhill after Stabler left. Robert Patrick would never have successfully carried the show alone in a million years. Scully needs Mulder, Walt needs Jesse, Benson needs Stabler. It's just how it is.
@@peterlenham3180 Considering that the show was written to be a skeptic and a believer, balancing each other other out... yea, it should be two agents investigating instead of one. Also, Duchovny and Anderson were the central part of the show, it was their personae that made it what it was. Doggett and Reyes, while they sort of looked the part just never really captured the legacy that Duchovny and Anderson established.
@@boedye No they couldn't capture it. They'd already been together for seven seasons, so Doggett and Reyes weren't really given a chance. I do believe if they had of carried on, they still would be seen as a pale imitation. The problem is, once you see someone do something for so long, it's hard to see someone else do it when they take over.
so many childhood memories of this man glad to see he is a genuine human
One scene in T2 really exemplifies how good RP is as the T-1000. It’s a pretty simple scene when he knocks on the foster parents door and asks about John. There’s this cold menace behind his performance while he’s being polite and smiling and doing nothing threatening. He found a way for the threat to be felt while being hidden behind his words and mannerisms, more subtly than I’ve seen.
Jenette Golstein was a big part of those scenes with the foster parents to, especially when the mother was the T1000, the phone call you knew instantly it wasn't her anymore, that scene was all kinds of creepy.
Met him a few weeks ago at the airport he saw me frozen and asked I had a question for him. Started geeking out and he was so humble and approachable.
I still remember Robert Patrick from Stargate Atlantis and Walk The Line. Still one amazing actor
This guy learned how to rapid fire a handgun without blinking at all because he knew a Terminator wouldn't blink when firing. Legend.
Some people don't want to be remembered for just one role. Robert though is humbled, because while he gets a ton of T2 Questions, he knows at the same time how much he struck a fortune with it; his entire career launched from it, along with knowing that when he dies, he is immortalized by that one role. Some of the best actors make great movies, yet they never have one iconic character that people will always remember for years and years to come, but Robert knows that people will remember him for the T-1000 and that is a awesome thing to have in life.
I think his best role is actually the football coach in The Faculty. The transformation from mercurial hot head to dead even devious was just chilling.
He was the best part of that film I think personally.
i remember that movie being one of my favorites as a teenager. Forgot about Robert in that movie, always drinking the water. Yeah he was good in that movie.
I love Robert Patrick. Such a phenomenal actor and a genuine guy.
T2 was fantastic, well casted, wonderful special effects & solid acting. Robert's performance as T-1000 was fascinating & mesmerizing all together. T-1000 is the stuff that nightmares are made of.
His T-1000 is still my all time favorite villain, I hope we'll see more of him in the future on screen.
Such a nice guy. Great to hear. Have always loved him since saw him in Fire in the Sky
He was absolutely T-2. No one could have been as good as Patrick for that Terminator.
This guy was such an underrated actor in his time.
His time has & is now champ
He is such a down to Earth dude its refreshing.
I loved him in Fire in the Sky as well, it remains one of my favorite Sci-Fi flicks of all time.
Robert patrick is a movie icon!! T-1000 forever ♥️❤️💙
Robert has a really great range as an actor he doesn't get credit for. Usually he plays super tough guys but then he played David Scatino on The Sopranos which I think is his best acting performance.
I agree 100%, his Scatino in Sops was an incredible piece of work. He has range, no doubt, in Peacemaker he made me laugh my face off.
When he’s laying on his pool table with that .357 in his mouth 🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit didn't even put it together he was David Scatino.
I wasw thinking of his Performamnce playing the Compulsive Gambler who ran afoul of Tony Soprano and was in huge financial hole to him. I assumed from his Roles that Robert Patrick was this Tough , Macho Guy. But he defintely used his insecurites and his remembrance of being down and out in that Role in The Sopranos;.
Robert Patrick did so many things. Amazing. And then to see him in Stargate Atlantis S01E01-02 gave me a Hugh smile. Bring come quality to the series. That raspy voice. Loving it. Colonel Marshall Sumner... Too bad he had to die... but sometimes big names got to die to give more body to the story...
T2 is legendary
God damn this is a good podcast
Thank God Cameron saw in Robert the T-1000!And thank Robert for delivering a performance that will last an eternity!
This is one actor that also deserves more roles.
Humility. Not enough actors give credit to what helped and made them.
Good for you Patrick.
The fact you have great talent helps too. 😁
I've been a fan of his work for years (loved him in The X Files and Scorpion too), he always seemed like such a solid stand-up kinda guy. Glad to know he really is! Grrrrreat interview!!
Thanks Robert for this. Such a great guy and actor!
He is really good. He was terrifying as a Terminator.
He's a real one. Never full of himself, and damn iconic now. Hope to meet Robert some day!
He was good as Mike Rodgers in Fire in the Sky as well.
He was great as Master Piandao. Brought dignity, humor and warmth in his brief time as TLAB.
the perfect terminator villain! absolute badass when he fires the pistol without blinking.
From everything I've ever heard about him he is a humble down to earth guy not many like that in show biz
He was terrifying in T2. I loved his character in that movie
Robert Patrick was born to play the T1000.
It's incredible to see Robert Patrick talking and moving as swiftly as he does, it's as if he never fell into that vat of molten steel at all. Modern medicine is insanely impressive
This guy will always be the T-1000 to me. And, he's totally right about being prepared for acting. I've done a lot of amature theatre, and even in the most amature production as an actor you have to have your shit together.
Dude played the roll of the T1000 impeccably, can't imagine anyone else ever re-creating that steely, emotionless, one-track void that he so brilliantly did. He really made you believe he was an insidious machine and not just an actor.
Robert is one of the coolest and kindest actors I have ever met! Great heart
So happy finding this interview. I had no idea he was such a good guy. Be kind, say a kind word, we can all use a boost. Thanks for sharing!
It's so hard to imagine Robert Patrick having any self-doubt considering the dedication he had. Learning to fire his sidearm without blinking, chasing down the dirtbike on foot, and just the stone cold look of "I can absolutely tear Arnold Schwarzenegger in half without a second thought" on his face! I remember him giving me chills when I first saw this movie! What an amazing villain!
Robert Patrick is a legend. He's a great actor and was awesome in Dawn to dusk TV show and X-files as lieutenant Doggit and in an episode of walking dead. He's a great actor but he's best remembered as the shape shifting Terminator.
I saw him in Peacemaker and, until this video popped up, I had no idea he was the guy who played the T-1000 - normally I am REALLY good at spotting people I’ve seen before, even if they’ve changed a lot but, in my mind, the T-1000 is literally a robot that never ages; I literally could not believe this guy was the T-1000 because the T-1000 is a young guy. That film was so well made and performed; this guy’s performance was absolutely incredible.
By far one of the greatest villain performances of all time
he nailed that "a sitting duck" line though
I really liked him as John Doggett, even if the writing of those episodes wasn’t as good.
Second half of season 8 of The X-Files, when Mulder comes back, is great. The first half was just fine. He had an impossible task which was to replace Mulder and Duchovny. Nobody was ever going to survive and live up to that.
Indeed. He did a great job
Can’t imagine anyone else as the legendary T1000
T2, X-FILES, PEACEMAKER... Guy has incredible range!
I loved him as the T1000, obviously. But i got equal joy from Robert Patrick when he played agent John Dogget in the X-Files. That role as the pragmatic down to earth investigator fit him perfectly and i remember cheering for him during certain scenes.
Watching T2 as a youngster, I was legit terrified of the T-1000. But what a super nice guy. Very humble. Even 30+ years later, I would love to just meet him, talk to him for a few minutes. But goddamn if there wouldn't be a small part of me that would be terrified lol.
HE MADE THE MOVIE FRESH, WITH HIS LASER LOOK WITH SUPER FOCUS ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Genuinely the only actor to fully submerged me into the idea he was an actual robot. Incredible skill.
I am so glad to see Robert Patrick back in the game. He's aged like a fine wine.
he was T-1000.. as much as Arnold was to T-800... If you guys knew, he was also in Die Hard 2 as one of those goons in white jacket!! 🔥
Robert Patrick was the T-1000! He was amazing in that role!
I loved when he was in X-Files on the episode with a "machine man" where he says something like "a man made of metals? That belongs in a movie or something" 🤣 It was a perfect hat tip to his T-1000 role!
He can neeever be replaced . NEVER.
Robert was a f**king animal in T2 absolutely terrifying. Loved him in xfiles so underrated and again totally terrifying in Peacemaker
He also did some awesome movies after T2.
He's an amazing actor in cop/villain roles
