Robert Patrick shares what it’s like working on set with Clint Eastwood

[@PCat2385]

Clint Eastwood is the last of that special breed in Hollywood. We will never see his like again

[@ownpetard8379]

No breed. Only Clint.

Maybe Jonathan Franks (Riker in Star Trek). He is known to be the closest to Clint’s director style & approach.

Fun fact: Robert After leaving college, Patrick worked as a house painter and continued as such until a boating accident in 1984 in Lake Erie. He swam for three hours in order to save others still stranded on the accident site, and nearly drowned in doing so.[

Robert Patrick is a class act! He was probably one of the best experiences I've ever had meeting a celebrity at a convention.

I always felt Robert was under appreciated because his acting is so effortlessly natural. The T1000 was so effective because Robert did not overplay or overact. His acting is so instinctive you only see the character. Unfortunately I think this has led to him not being appreciated more which is a real shame. I loved him in Copland, a movie chock full of great performances.

I can't even imagine having like a legend in ones field, like Clint Eastwood is to acting, just go to you and say "that was great, you did great, I always had trouble with that but you did it amazing".

Robert Patrick was perfect in The Peacemaker. He gave the show the gravitas it needed to ground the silliness to a compelling story. He was essential to making that show work.

[@ckmoore101]

Very true. White Knight, best name ever for a racist "superhero". Its perfect. I always love the actors that make me really hate them (character). And those are normally the nicest ones IRL. Like first time I saw Ralph Fiennes was for Schindlers List..... how do you not need therapy after roles like that?

Robert Patrick's Clint Eastwood impression makes me realize that Clint Eastwood needs his own ASMR channel

I'd subscribe to a channel of this guy doing Clint Eastwood ASMR if the dialogue was good. Have Effemeral Rift write the material.

Patrick played one of the greatest villains of all time in T2. His physical and vocal acting performance was spot-on perfect for the character.

Robert Patrick is a friggin legend. Love this guy since Terminator but he's also been in a lot of great stuff like X-files, from dusk til dawn, the walking dead and more. Big time fan. I met him once at a convention way way back and just easy to talk to guy.

Robert Patrick is one of those actors that knows what kind of movie he is in and can calibrate what he's doing to match the material, even when the filmmaker doesn't seem to get what kind of movie he or she is making.

[@Androsynth75]

I have an old friend whose father ran a small plane charting service out of a local airport. Eastwood frequently rented through his service. My friends dad met quite a few celebs that way, and he always maintained that the three nicest were Clint, Kurt Russel and Leonard Nimoy. Eastwood was exactly as you’d expect him to be: funny, smart, personable and someone with no patience for bullshit or fools.

[@dugeniadugeniadugeniadugen5266]

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil was a great movie and had an incredible soundtrack too.

[@dangiambrone7350]

What an outstanding and versatile actor he is. He always comes across as a very decnt chap. People, rightly, bring up his performance in T2, The Unit, X-Files and many other memorable outings, but one that often gets overlooked is his appearance in the Sopranos. From what I gather, he had very little preparation time and yet blended in seamlessly and held his own against the powerhouse that was James Gandalfini.

[@TheGorillafoot]

I didn't realize Clint Eastwood did "midnight in the garden of good and evil." That movie is great. Still holds it's own even today.

[@thagrifster594]

[@kurtb8474]

I've heard this about Clint from other actors. It sounds like he's approaching his directing from an actor's standpoint. I think it really helps when a director has a lot of acting experience.

[@Soldier4USA2005]

There's a YT clip where it's explained. It's because when he was doing western TV shows, the director would yell action and it would spook the horses. So when Mr Eastwood went into directing, he never yelled. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2fHp6yvZ7WEg7s

[@invisiblekid99]

There was one story from an actor I can’t remember the name of who said he did his lines, turned to Clint and say I think I need to do that again. Clint just quietly said “Why, just to waste everyone’s time?” Clint’s directing is so effortless and that makes everyone just flow. The downside is that he makes it looks so effortless, his fold d on t always get the recognition they deserve. Ironically it’s the same with Patrick here.
