Big shoutout to Robert Patrick this week and how much of an open book he was 👏👏 Here he talks about his struggles with substance abuse early on in his career and how he thinks it prevented the momentum of different opportunities he had available.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
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.

A sign of how good Robert Patrick was as T-1000 in T2 is that his performance, quite frankly, overshadowed one of the biggest action stars of all time in the same film. T2 is one of the greatest films of all time if you look at the whole package (acting, pacing, plot, special effects)...and it's a testament to Robert Patrick's acting that the T-1000 stands out, despite the fact that he was paired up with a man who was and still is larger than life

It increases killer t immune cell activity. I haven't been sick in 6 years.

In acting they have an "ensemble", if you watch Scorpion, whoever cast that show, each actor developed their characters so good, you would think they were really people, the humor was great too.

As amazing as Arnold was, and always will be, the reason I saw T2 multiple times was the T1000 and Robert Patrick. The action sequences to start the film off were off the charts!! It’s interesting to hear that he had to clean it up and train like that for the role. Being in my late teens when I saw the movie, I thought he was perfect. This honesty, and openness is refreshing and I feel even can help people. I honestly can’t blame him for partying after T2. If he had been at it for a while, and then hit the jackpot right around thirty years old I think that’s what everyone hopes for, and been a dream come true. I would like to hear him talk about DieHard 2, that must have been a fun shoot as well.

Robert had to work hard before he finally hit the big time. Edward Furlong, on the other hand, got it without even trying. The kid literally had a huge acting role tossed right into his lap because he was at the right place, at the right time, and noticed by the right people. He had potential for a successful acting career as an adult but blew it. At least Robert was able to make good on his success and landed many more memorable roles. Eddie is pretty much forgotten.

T2 came out at the beginning of 1991, filmed in 1990. He didn’t have another film credit until 1993. He’s right, T2 gave his career a lot of momentum and probably opened a lot of other doors but alcohol closed all of them.

Sudden fame isn't easy to handle for anyone. Robert was an adult when he hit the big time and he still had struggles. Imagine what it was like for Eddie Furlong. The kid literally ruined any chance he had at a successful acting career as an adult because of drugs and not being able to stay out of trouble.

T2 was and will always be a 1990's masterpiece. One of my BEST "adulthood / childhood" memories was the weekend in 1992 when Blockbuster Video was still a thing, no cell phones, just regular, NORMAL living, and that week on Tuesday (new release day) was T2, True Lies, and I think Tales from the Crypt, and about 10 LSD sugar cubes from San Francisco's Golden Gate Park at Haight and Stanyan near the McDonald's. That was one of THE BEST weekends of my life. SOOooo much fun hangin' with my best friends and doing the 90's thing....
