Patrick shot to fame by starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day. He played the T-1000, a Terminator that assumed human form but was made of a substance that could imitate anything it touched; his character fought against Schwarzenegger's now 'good' T-800.

In 2000, Patrick appeared in several episodes of The Sopranos as a store owner struggling with gambling debts owed to DiMeo Crime Family soldier Richie Aprile.

Patrick also became well-known on the small screen in his role as Agent John Doggett from 2000 to 2002 in the final two seasons of The X-Files.

More recently, in 2005's Walk the Line, Robert Patrick plays the faulty father of Johnny Cash. He currently has a regular role on The Unit.
