Richard Patrick, born on May 10, 1968, in Bay Village, Ohio, isn’t just some random name you see in the credits and forget about two seconds later. Nah, this guy’s actually got a story. Most folks probably know him as the frontman of Filter—yeah, that “Hey Man, Nice Shot” song? That’s him. But he’s done more than just crank out industrial rock bangers. Turns out, he’s popped up in the film world too, and not just as some background extra. So, he’s credited as an actor and composer, which is honestly a wild combo. Like, one minute he’s sweating it out on stage, next thing you know, he’s involved in big-deal movies. He worked on the music for “2012”—that John Cusack disaster flick that had everyone convinced the world might actually end. Not just that, he’s tied to “The Cable Guy” from ‘96 (peak weird Jim Carrey era, honestly), and “Underworld,” which, if you missed, is vampires, leather, and all the early-2000s goth energy you could possibly want. But outside of all the noise and Hollywood stuff, Richard’s a real dude. He married Tina Johnson in 2006, and they’ve got two kids, so he’s juggling the whole rockstar-family thing too. Not exactly your average 9-to-5. From Ohio roots to movie credits, the guy’s managed to keep one foot in the music world and the other in film, making him one of those multi-hyphenate artists you don’t see every day. All in all, pretty cool journey.

Richard’s the frontman for the industrial rock band Filter. You’ve probably heard their big 90s hit “Hey Man Nice Shot.” Total banger. He also played with Nine Inch Nails for a while—yep, that Nine Inch Nails. Wild, right? The Patrick brothers both carved their own paths but in totally different scenes—one blasting shotgun shells at the T-1000, the other tearing up stages with guitars and angst. It’s kinda cool how talent runs in families but ends up looking totally different. You don’t see Richard showing up in Terminator movies, but you also don’t see Robert screaming into a mic at rock festivals. That’s the trivia for you: one family, two totally iconic careers, zero overlap.
