Career

He made four guest appearances on Perry Mason, three of them as the murder victim: Martin Selkirk in the 1959 episode, "The Case of the Deadly Toy," Martin Somers in the 1962 episode, "The Case of the Tarnished Trademark," and golf pro Chick Farley -- an unnervingly close channelling of James Cagney -- in the 1966 episode, "The Case of the Golfer's Gambit." Among his other television appearances were the roles of Jason McGuire and Paul Stoddard in Dark Shadows, Mac in Somerset, Vaughn Leland in CBS's Dallas, and in such films as The Time Travelers (1964), Daddy's Gone A-Hunting (1969), Joe (1970), Dear Dead Delilah (1972) and Nightmare Honeymoon (1974). He also was a respected stage actor, having won the Theater World Award for his starring role in "The Liar". He also portrayed Jean Paul Marat on Broadway in Marat Sade.[1][2]

Patrick played Sheriff Patterson in the film House of Dark Shadows (1970). He was television's first vampire (as Dennis Harrison) in a 1950 episode of "Stage 13" (1950).[1]
