In all Patrick has overcome many of life obstacles, he suffered a broken leg on the movie set Letters from a Killer (1997) and an alcohol problem that he remedied in 1993 when he checked himself into rehab at a Sierra Tucson clinic in Arizona.
This year (June, 2000) he survived his own plane crash and walked away. He has exhibited some violent behavior due to drinking - at one point it involved a .357 Magnum. He credits his life to his steadfast marriage and strong love for his wife, Lisa. Their long-term marriage has survived Hollywood's scrutiny.
Patrick summed it up very well within in interview with Melina Gerosa (celeb on the web) - "the way to screw up somebody's life is to give them what they want." Sometimes success is not always a blessing but his love for Lisa has been.
