Patrick Faucette was born and raised in Willingboro, New Jersey, where his passion for performing was evident from a young age. Before pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, Patrick's first love was music, and he spent his teenage years playing the bass guitar in several bands. After graduating from Cinnaminson High School, Patrick's athletic prowess led him to earn a football scholarship to Boston University, where he majored in Physical Therapy.
After completing his degree, Patrick moved to San Francisco and began his career as a Physical Therapist. However, the influence of his roommates and his own love of performing soon led him to take up acting in local theaters, commercials, and print advertisements. This marked the beginning of his journey to bring characters to life on screen.
Patrick's decision to move to Los Angeles to pursue his passion for acting proved to be a wise one, as he soon acquired a range of notable film and television credits. Some of his notable roles include Walk Hard, Teenage Bank Heist, "The Office," "Southland," "Hot in Cleveland," and "CougarTown."
However, it was his breakout role in OWN's highest-rated drama "The Have's and the Have Nots" that truly showcased his talent. Written and directed by Tyler Perry, Patrick played the role of Tony Watson, the long-lost father of Benny Young (Tyler Lepley). Tony's character created quite a stir in the lives of the "have nots" with his renewed interest in the life of his son.
