Robert Patrick is one of the most well-known faces in sci-fi and action cinema, thanks in large part to a career-defining villain role in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." His role as the T-1000 proving so iconic that it would pop up in cameos in both "Wayne's World" and "Last Action Hero." 

But that role by no means represents the only noteworthy moment in Patrick's extensive film career. The actor's many notable film roles include that of alien abductee victim brother-in-law Mike Rogers in "Fire in the Sky," FBI agent Jeff Douglas in the Titus Welliver and Mick Fleetwood-co-starring direct-to-video film "Zero Tolerance," and Ray Cash in "Walk the Line," as well as appearances in films like "Die Hard 2."

In addition to his film work, Patrick has also had dozens of memorable television roles. Some of the more memorable include the unlikely Scully ally John Doggett in "The X-Files," David Scatino in "The Sopranos," Cabe Gallo in "Scorpion," Jackson Herveaux in "True Blood," and Colonel Tom Ryan in David Mamet's 2006 military series "The Unit." A well-known character actor, Patrick has also had numerous guest appearances through the years in shows like "Sons of Anarchy," "Chuck," "Burn Notice," "Psych," "Community," "The Walking Dead," and "Stargate Atlantis." Patrick has also lent his voice to a number of video games including LocoCycle and Madden NFL 21 and animated shows including "Ultimate Spider-Man," "American Dad!," "Avatar: The Last Airbender," and "Ben 10," just to name a few.
