I've collected some little known facts about Will Patton. Some of them are interesting, and some of them are, well, not. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!!!
Let's start with some personal facts...
Before Will's career in acting took off he:
* worked in an all night vegetable market * * sold Christmas trees * * worked construction * * did demolition * * worked as a guard in a clothing store * * was an elevator operator * * mopped oil out of the Mississippi River *
If they were to make a movie out of his life,
he would want Crispin Glover to play the lead.
