Patrick O Gorman (born August 3, 1934) is an American theatre, film and television actor.

Early life

Born in Visalia, California, Gorman spent eight years in the military and studied acting in Paris, France. While in Paris, he had a stint in the Cirque Medrano as a clown.[citation needed]

Career

He has a background in musical comedy performing in Judy Garland's act around the country and at the Palace Theatre (Broadway) in New York City. He also danced in the nightclub acts of Donald O'Connor, Sammy Davis Jr. and Jimmy Durante.

Any the funny thing is, I don’t really look like him at all, but I had something. And incredible luck. The fact that I have a lot of Civil War fans validates that I guess, because apparently I was very successful in getting Hood’s persona across.
