Patrick Roccas
- Actor
Patrick Roccas is a Greek born actor from Athens. His father is Greek and his mother is Canadian. He is greatly inspired by the journey of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and classic Hollywood cinema icons such as Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Clint Eastwood, Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds and Paul Newman.
During his adolescence Patrick would become interested in the discipline of bodybuilding, and also played rugby union. After finishing high-school, Patrick worked a variety of jobs while he tried to figure out his calling. During this time, Patrick worked as a plumber, roofer, bricklayer, concrete form worker, laborer, security guard, bouncer, painter, glazier and at a fish factory. He soon discovered these jobs weren't a good fit for him and left him feeling unfulfilled. He began to eye a career in show business as a way to express his inner monologue.
Using the money he had saved, Patrick started to study and immerse himself in the craft of acting. He then got professional headshots taken and hand wrote letters to every prominent agent in Vancouver. After being picked up by a top agent, he started to build a resume appearing in Fringe, Supernatural, Flash, Arrow and more.
After seven years working hard in smaller roles, Patrick received an opportunity from director Robert Zemeckis, who cast Patrick in a principal role in "Welcome To Marwen". This was Patrick's first feature film.
Following several television roles, Patrick was next seen co starring with Jon Voight and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Tony Dean Smith's 2023 action film Mercy.
Up next for Patrick in 2024 will be an action thriller playing one of the main villains in the film titled "Protectors of the Land".
Patrick is characterized by his work ethic and dedication. Hardened by life's tough lessons, he looks to bring his lived experience to his performances, and maintains a goal of drawing film-goers into his world in order to experience the breadth of the human condition.
