In what film does Robert Patrick portray a robot?

In what film does Robert Patrick portray a robot? Terminator 2 is the answer. Robert Patrick plays the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), a shape-shifting machine assassin sent from the future to kill John Connor.

Unlike Arnold Schwarzenegger’s solid-metal T-800, the T-1000 is made from a fictional liquid metal called mimetic poly-alloy. It can imitate people, form blades from its limbs, and recover from gunfire, making it one of the film’s most memorable villains. Patrick’s lean frame and controlled, emotionless performance created a striking contrast with Schwarzenegger’s imposing appearance.

The movie was directed by James Cameron and takes place eleven years after The Terminator (1984). A common mix-up is to identify Schwarzenegger as the robot in this question: he plays a reprogrammed T-800, but Robert Patrick is the actor behind the T-1000. Patrick also briefly reprised the T-1000 character in later films, including Wayne’s World (1992) and Last Action Hero (1993), but Terminator 2 is the defining film role.
