Patrick Edward Wynne is a renowned American actor, born on October 10, 1987, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Rose (Mueller) and Peter Wynne. His parents' diverse heritage has contributed to his unique cultural background, with Irish and Dutch roots on his father's side and Mexican and Swiss-German descent on his mother's.
Growing up, Wynne developed an early fascination with music, particularly the drums, at the tender age of nine. This passion and natural talent ultimately led him to be accepted into the Fine Arts program at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, where he studied music and percussion performance. During his time at TCU, Wynne actively participated in various music ensembles, including the orchestra, concert band, percussion ensemble, jazz band, steel band, and the drumline.
As a cum laude graduate, Wynne received a Bachelor of Music Education with an emphasis in Percussion Performance in 2010. Following his graduation, he relocated to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the performing arts.
Wynne's acting career began with commercials, landing a national television spot for Nissan Heisman House on ESPN in 2012. He played a member of the drumline, a role that leveraged his natural talent. Within his first year of pursuing film acting, Wynne landed a lead role in his first feature-length film, Seventy-Nine, which premiered at Quentin Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema in Los Angeles, CA in 2013.
Prior to filming, Wynne trained privately with June Barfield from the Stella Adler Academy of Acting & Theatre. Wynne's subsequent lead role in the sci-fi short film Slumptown, directed by Bryan Costanich in 2014, earned him the Best Actor award at the Other Worlds Austin Sci-Fi Film Festival held annually in Austin, TX.
To prepare for his role as Al in Slumptown, Wynne trained with Robert Amico out of the London Theatre in North Hollywood, CA. Wynne's continued success led him to become a spokesperson for a new Android smartphone, the Sonim XP7, and he even hosted the Indiegogo campaign, which exceeded its goal of raising the funds necessary to produce the world's most rugged smartphone.
