Vincent Van Patten Biography
Born: October 17, 1957
Vincent Van Patten is the youngest son of actor Dick_Van_Patten, the brother of actor James_Van_Patten, and the nephew of actors Joyce_Van_Patten and Timothy_Van_Patten. As night follows day, Vincent was destined from the start for a show-business career. Making his professional debut in his preteen years, Van Patten has been seen in such TV-movie productions as Dial_Hot_Line (1969), The_Bravos (1970), James at 15 (1977) and Gidget's_Summer_Reunion (1985). His theatrical feature credits range from the Disneyesque doings of Charlie and the Angel (1976) to the amiable anarchy of Rock 'N' Roll High School (1979), wherein Van Patten was cast against type as a high school nerd. Thus far, his only weekly TV-series gigs have been as Paul Apple in Apple's Way (1974) and John Karras in Three for the Road (1975); he appeared as the 16-year old son of bionic duo Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers in a 1976 episode of The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man, but the anticipated spin-off series never came to fruition. In addition, Vincent Van Patten has been active in the Hanna-Barbera voice over pool, putting words in the mouths of the animated characters on Scooby-Doo and Jeannie, among other programs.
