John Patrick can be seen starring opposite Shailene Woodley, Gabrielle Creevy, and Betty Gilpin in the drama series “Three Women” currently airing on STARZ. John Patrick is a scene stealer as Jack, Gia’s (Woodley) love interest, who would do anything for her.
Also in television, John Patrick is often recognized for his starring role as Gabe Mitchell in Netflix’s critically acclaimed original series “Dear White People.” He also recurred as Blake Lively’s love interest on season two of “Gossip Girl,” and went on to star in VH1’s “Hindsight,” and has appeared on ABC’s “The Good Doctor,” NBC’s “Aquarius,” and Fox’s “Vanished.” Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, John Patrick grew up on the east coast and discovered his love for acting at just 12 years old. In 2000 he landed his first big break and speaking role in the critically acclaimed feature film “Almost Famous” (Dreamworks) alongside Kate Hudson, by sending director Cameron Crowe a videotape playing the guitar. Crowe loved it so much, that he wrote a part just for John Patrick. In 2004 he appeared in the sci-fi/thriller “The Butterfly Effect” (New Line Cinema) further building his film resume, and went on to land roles in “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” (Universal Pictures) opposite Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, and Anna Kendrick, Billy Bob Thornton’s “Jane Manfield’s Car,” “The Last Stand” (Lionsate), “Stick It” (Touchstone Pictures) and he starred in “The Vatican Tapes” (Lionsgate) opposite Michael Peña and Djimon Hounsou.
While working in film and television keeps John Patrick busy, one of his biggest passions is music. He regularly writes and records original tracks, with some of his songs being featured in his on-screen projects including “Dear White People” and his film “Stick It.” As a multi-instrumentalist, he’s currently writing songs on the ukulele. Over the years he has played in bands and written in several genres including Thrash Metal and Shoegaze – and notes some of his biggest influences are Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Pixies, and Daniel Johnston.
