I worked with Patrick on a Civic show maybe 20 years ago. The director was a divisive screamer with a knack for total verbal "evisceration". Patrick could not have been nicer or more supportive in a very unfortunate situation.

Anyone who has had even the slightest contact with Patrick knows that "bitter" and "self-righteous" are not words that even belong on the same page with a description of Patrick. I'm only sorry he had to see these words misapplied to himself.<BR/><BR/>It occurs to me that the reason Kasey and I and, no doubt, many others are able to learn so much we didn't know about Patrick through this interview is that not only is Patrick not bitter and not self righteous, but unlike many theatre people, he's not self-centered and not full of himself, and hasn't spent 99% of his time offstage talking about only himself.<BR/><BR/>Please keep up this interview series!

I hope to do more of these interviews; I'm making a call or two today to set them up.<BR/>"bitter and self-righteous" is so clearly wrong, so clearly outside reality, that I thought it was worth approving the post just to show how out-of-touch and bizarre some people's opinions are.<BR/>Patrick replied to it, and evidently hasn't gotten a response. That's because there's nothing to say to substantiate that about his character. It's not masochistic when small, clueless minds decide they need to vent.
