You wouldn't know it from his sweet face, but British born actor Marcus Patrick intended on becoming a professional fighter. Wild, right? Well, considering his violent childhood, Patrick decided to take a more peace-loving career. Harnessing his natural singing talent, Patrick joined a Simon Cowell-endorsed boy band.

Within three years Patrick had a notable solo-career. Not yet satisfied, he did what all international actors looking for a boost do: he moved to America.

Unlike some other unlucky souls, Patrick's actually landed a handful of roles, including a recurring role on ABC sudster, All My Children and no less than four film roles for this coming year.

Speaking of this coming year, perhaps Patrick will be your inspiration to follow your own dreams. Or, at least, for a really good wank.
