- Patrick reprised his TERMINATOR 2 character, the T-1000, for the theme park attraction T2-3D, a short film filmed in a new 3-D process that makes the film really appear to jump out at you.
- He appeared in Meat Loaf's Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are music video.
- Had a cameo in the movie WAYNE'S WORLD (1992) as his character of the liquid metal man from TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY (1991).
- Patrick, who plays Special Agent John Doggett in THE X-FILES (1993), is the brother of Richard Patrick, the lead singer of Filter. Filter's music has appeared on the TV soundtrack, Songs in the Key of X, and the X-FILES movie soundtrack.
- SFX crew had to incorporate his football-injury limp in their animation of the T1000. Next, they filmed the stuff with the T1000 pretending to be driving from the right-hand steering wheel (wearing a mirror-image police uniform), while the real driver was hidden under a black hood at the lowered real steering wheel. For the final film, the scenes were flipped left-to-right to make it all look right, and combined with footage shot with a normal truck driving in the drain. This was done so that Patrick could concentrate on acting rather than driving. They accidentally caught a street sign; after they mirror-imaged the scene, they digitally reversed the text on the sign so it would appear correct (TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991)).
- The badge on the T1000's uniform reads Austin (named after producer Stephanie Austin), although it is not fully visible in the film. Austin is also the name of Patrick's daughter.
- Was a track and field athlete.
- Nominated for Best Villain at MTV Movie Awards for TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1992)
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."
Awards- Saturn Award: Best Actor on Television, The X-Files (2001)
