He also recalled how his family had nudged him to audition for the third season while watching the first two seasons together. His mom would ask why he hadn’t auditioned and his sister would urge him to call his agents.
He received an audition email but didn’t tell anyone as he thought his chances of getting a callback were slim.
In season 3, Patrick plays Saxon Ratliff, the eldest son of Timothy (played by Jason Isaacs) and Victoria (Parker Posey), who works for his father’s company.
