Patrick Painter grew up in Long Beach, California, earning his G.E.D at Woodrow Wilson High School. He attended Long Beach City College for one semester before transferring to Loyola Marymount's Theater Arts program, which served as a spring board to London when he was accepted into the exchange program at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Although, Painter subsequently fled school. After all this time, he has found his way back to acting, with one awesome credit to his name: Ed Wood's last script, "I Woke Up Early the Day I Died".
