Son of Actress Shirley Jones and actor Jack Cassidy Patrick had focused on football and possibly college as the star quarterback for Beverly Hills High School in 1979. However, when he broke his collarbone early in the season of his senior year, he looked into the drama department and started his career. Mother Shirley Jones was pregnant with him while filming The Music Man (1962). Nobody knew she was pregnant until the footbridge scene, where Robert Preston had his arms around her and Patrick kicked him! Middle name William comes from his paternal grandfather. He and brothers Shaun Cassidy and Ryan Cassidy were delivered via Cesarean section. He and wife Melissa, plus their two sons, made a family affair of it when Patrick returned to the stage in the title role of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in 2006, first appearing in the role back in 1999. Melissa was featured as the seductive Mrs. Potiphar and the children (ages 10 and 7) appeared in the children's chorus. Along with Dean Cain, Michael McKean and Richard Gant, he is one of only four actors to appear in both "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (1993) and "Smallville" (2001).
