Noone can beat Arnolds performance as the villain in the First Terminator movie but Patrick comes pretty damn close.

Ever seen the later seasons of the X-Files? He took over Mulder's role as Agent Dogett in the last two seasons. He's a pretty cool guy.

Blast from the past, eh McFly?  

JK, Broseph. It was a good flick.

The scene in Terminator 2 where he does the mag dump with the Beretta into Arnold's back at the mall, is one of the few shooting scenes in Hollywood history where the actor doesn't flinch when the gun goes off.

And a great cameo in "Wayne's World".

He does a great mag change in that scene.

Blackhawk Down and Way of the Gun as well, they don't flinch or blink their eyes.

I remember that.  He must have practiced the hell out of that.

I saw an interview with him talking about how hard he had to concentrate to keep from blinking during those scenes.  I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that and not blink.

He's a talented character actor. He can drop in to any TV show or movie and give a solid supporting performance.

His character in the Sopranos was some of his best acting

T2 simply rocked. Pure win.

I disagree completely. Robert Patrick's work in T2 IMO is far superior to Arnolds in T1.

Yep......Patrick did a better job of controling his motions to be more machine like. The only time I remember him showing uncontrolled facial expressions was when he took the 40mm hit...and in the motten steel bath. And those where not "him" actually anyway..

He studies praying mantis head movements for months and emulated them for his role.

The only major issue with the T2 story line...was the time travel with the T-1000. I was lead to beleive that only flesh covered terminators could go through......and the T-1000 and the TX where all metal.

I read something questioning that tidbit awhile back, and supposedly Skynet developed a transporter that allowed metals to go through..........

That scene cost me a few hundred dollars.  
Bought a 92FS when I turned 21.

Absolutely. I love how he's already reached for and is retrieving the next magazine before he runs out of ammo. Perfect timing.

...and his brother is Richard Patrick, lead singer of the underrated but still awesome alt-rock band Filter

Pretty talented family there
