Carnegie Mellon opens the road to dreams
Patrick Wilson was born in Norfolk, Virginia, USA, to news anchor and vocal teachers, and he learned Xi art first in choral and then piano under the influence of his parents from an early age. During his childhood, he had a lot of friends from the theater, so he would also go to drama classes. From a very young age, he dreamed of becoming an actor, but he didn't know what to do. He likes to sing, so he began to learn Xi drama in high school, but he is confused about embarking on the road of **drama, because he wants to be an actor, and he doesn't know where the drama will take him.
He then attended an interview at Carnegie Mellon University, where the department chair told him: ".Our course is both a drama and a performanceHe thought it was very good, he was exposed to all kinds of ** dramas there, and at this time he really fell in love with this art and set his own goal: Broadway.

Travelogue on Broadway
In 1995, after graduating from Carnegie Mellon, he worked in ** drama"Miss Saigon".'s American tour got the role of Chris Scott, which was actually a very lucky thing, but he grasped this good luck very well, and soon officially appeared on Broadway and starred in the ** drama"Six Heroes of Light Pigs"., which helped him be nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Drama and Best Actor in a Drama Dask. After that he starred"Oklahoma".andThe Phantom of the OperaThese two hit plays helped him become one of the hottest actors on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony Award again.
Looking back on his performance on Broadway, he thinks it was indeed a stroke of luck. But when he came to New York, the first thing he thought of was not to be famous, but to be a good actor. His original goal was:Do what you love and be able to support yourself。He believes that in his many years of acting career, he has always held a similar mentality. Maybe enter a room where everyone knows you and play an absolute star, or you can enter a room where no one knows you and be an obscure person. He believes that if you want to be a good actor, you must be able to withstand this contrast.

The transformation from ** drama to movie
When Patrick Wilson was still performing on Broadway, he received invitations from some film actors, such as the short drama "Angels in America" produced by HBO, which also helped him win the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination. Perhaps, as he himself said, when he is in his thirties, it is time to go to the film industry, and he has participated in some film and television productions, including"Fruit Hard Candy", "Survival in the Cracks", "Legal Invasion".Wait.
In 2009, he participated as the main actor in Zack Snyder's "Watchmen", a film that supported his fame to a new level, and then he was active in the film and television industry, as a leading role or supporting role, participating in a variety of films, including the suspense drama "God-given Doctor", as well as "Ice Storm" and "The Conjuring 2". Then in 18 years, he starred in another DC movie "Aquaman", of course, in "Aquaman 2", which will be released this month, everyone can also see him.
Looking back at Patrick Wilson's path to fame, he almost chose a fixed pattern of academic actors going to Hollywood:Entered a drama school, started a career in the form of drama and ** play, and then moved to the direction of film.
