Everyone will always remember him as T-1000 in Terminator 2, but I don't think he gets enough credit for his other roles. I have yet to see him give a bad performance. The X-Files, Cop Land, Walk the Line, Honest Thief, Kill the Messenger, Sons of Anarchy, Lovelace, Safe House, The Marine, Ladder 49, The Faculty, Fire in the Sky and his minor role in Die Hard 2, which I think he has one line in. Right now I am watching The Last Rampage, which is the only movie I have seen with him being the main character. As usual he doesn't disappoint. The movie itself is surprisingly decent and is directed by the director of Halloween 4. The movie also stars Bruce Davison and Heather Graham, who also give good performances.

I like him, especially in the lovely Bridge to Terabithia.

I enjoyed his performances in the newer Outer Limits series. That's all I can immediately recall seeing him in besides Terminator 2.

He had a long arc on The Sopranos.

He was also the lead in the little-known horror movie Asylum (1997) which I found surprisingly decent when I saw it eternities ago.
Also loved him in The New Outer Limits.

Nice to see Patrick landing a lead role now and then. I didn't know Heather Graham was still acting, I haven't sen her in anything for ages.

Heather Graham still acts quite a bit, though mostly in TV shows and straight-to-DVD movies.

You'd think a popular role like T-1000 would typecast him to hell, but it surprisingly hasn't.

He owned The Faculty and it was cool to see him play against type in The Sopranos. He was also a good action lead in From Dusk Till Dawn 2.
And while we're supposed to be moving away from the T-1000, Wayne's World is one of the greatest cameos ever.

Oh yeah. That man's terrific.
The Faculty is actually one of my favorite set in a high school movies. He pulls off natural born gym coach. Obviously a role is a role is a role, but I got the sense from his role in Identity Thief that he can have a good time and laugh at himself.

He reminds me of John Phillip Law crossed with Nick Adams.
It's easy to underestimate the T-1000 role but that required someone who had a silent intensity and yet might come across as a all-American policeman before you realize he's a machine. His line "No, you don't have to worry about him."
I don't remember him in the Faculty at all.
I liked his Sopranos story arc.
Someone recommended an obscure movie ALIEN TRESPASS and seeing his name in the cast made me curious to check it out.
It's on youtube.
He would have been recruited in the 60s spaghetti westerns I bet.
Appropriately, he's friends with Terminator 3's Kristanna Loken.

He’s great, and way against type, in the Sopranos as well. I think he’s only in the second season.

Yeah, it was kind of hard, to watch him from the typical alpha male or douchy/macho assholes, then turned into a whimpy and pathetic character, getting dominated by Soprano, but then again, few rarely got the better out of him in a physical hussle, and those who did, did not seem to enjoy the "victory" for much long. Anyway, Robert Patrick probably will go down, as one of the most likeable of the many unlikeable assholes, douchebags, slimy and sleazy scumbags he has portrayed, for the past 30 years, or more. However, I loved seeing him in very different kind of performances, specially on X-Files, and he has a few rather enjoyable heroic leading man roles, as well. But as with other typical vallainous guys like William Forsythe, and many others, he tend to be typecasted, for most of the time.
