Actor / Director Profile

Patrick "Puppy" Thomas comes from a show-business family (his brother is a producer). He lives in Beverly Hills, CA, where he shares an apartment with his brother. A devout admirer of Curly Howard (The Three Stooges), he has portrayed his "idol" in numerous nightclub acts and was nearly chosen by Moe Howard's grandson to play Curly in The Three Stooges (2000) (TV), the made-for-TV film about their lives. With two years improv experience at Santa Monica's The Second City and more than a year with Los Angeles' L.A. Connection improv comedy group, Patrick has created some of the most original and hilariously funny characters imaginable! His "mush mouth", "wild butcher" and Chinese tourist (who's the "illegitimate" son of Hop Sing, the Chinese houseboy from "Bonanza" (1959)) has made audiences all over Los Angeles roll in the aisles. Patrick also performed, for a short time, with the improv troupe "High Voltage" in the early 1990s. Today he continues to perform.
