S2E12 - PATRICK KILPATRICK

Patrick Kilpatrick joins BD Freeman for a wide-ranging conversation about building a long career in film and television-on screen, behind the camera, and on the page. After BD's opening monologue and crowd energy, Patrick digs into craft and survival: discipline for working actors, staying creative between jobs, and why momentum often comes from writing and developing the next thing while you're still chasing the current one.

Patrick revisits a pivotal turning point from the Under Siege 2 era, then moves into the practical realities of making projects happen-packaging, financing, and the teamwork required to get a script onto the screen. He talks Uncommon Dialogue Films and current work including Dying for Living, plus the grind of writing, producing, directing, and acting at the same time.

On the personal side, Patrick discusses his memoir Confessions of a Hollywood Villain and Libertine, reflecting on how he's tried to organize a lifetime of stories and lessons learned from decades in the industry. BD wraps the night with plugs and a send-off.
