As an established actor best known for his villainous roles in “Terminator 2” and “Reacher,” it took a life-changing experience for Robert Patrick to throw his entire heart and soul behind his dream of becoming an actor.

Following an incident in 1984, Mr. Patrick, 65, has not only appeared in “Die Hard 2” and TV’s “The Sopranos,” but “The X-Files” and “1923.” He currently co-stars in season 2 of Prime Video’s “Reacher.”
