Patrick Kirton
- Actor
Whether you need the guy next door or the guy with a secret, look no further than Patrick Kirton.
Patrick was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and graduated from Louisiana Tech University with a degree
in art. He moved to California to pursue a career, and found early success, landing the lead in "American
Drive-in," but soon found other interests on the other side of the camera with on-set property work and set
design. Moving back to Shreveport allowed him to be closer to family, which also reinvigorated his
desire to act in front of the camera. Patrick morphs easily from role to role, playing characters with
truthful complexity. From the dashing, but suspicious district attorney Paul Melancon in "Cut to The
Chase," or dubious town legend Sheriff Monty Shaw on an episode of the CW series "Walker," to the bitter brother
Simon in "Flag of My Father," and "American Pride's" affable, understanding dad, Randy; Patrick is a
true professional, and a chameleon with limitless range. He is married to his former childhood next door neighbor and actress, Susan Kirton. They have two children, Haley and Eric.
