Looking back at movies like Encino Man (1992) and Swingers (1996) naturally leads you to wonder where actors like Patrick Van Horn are. He seemed to be building quite the reputation for great acting in the late 90s, especially after he played the role of Sue in Swingers. Altogether, Van Horn was born on March 17, 1969.
During his time acting, his career peaked after his role in Swingers. However, after that, he appeared in a total of six movies and one TV show. Was it a short-lived career? Perhaps. But, he made quite the impression in his day, and that’s enough of a reason to wonder what he’s up to these days. With that in mind, here’s what we’ve been able to dig up.
Patrick Van Horn’s Glory Days
As mentioned earlier, Patrick Van Horn’s filmography isn’t what you’d consider extensive. But that was pretty much all he needed to make a name for himself back then. The actor kicked off his career with a role in an episode of a show titled Midnight Caller. That was followed by another TV show role in Steel Magnolias — based on the eponymous movie.
It wasn’t till he was eight years into his career that he landed the role that put him on the map. Playing Sue (named after the song A Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash) was perhaps the best thing that happened to his career. The movie itself is a tale of brotherly camaraderie and how far a group of friends would go to help one of their own get over a girl.
It was after that movie he landed a handful of roles in movies, including Three to Tango (1999) and Free Enterprise (1999). In 2008, he reunited with fellow Swingers co-stars Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau to do the movie Four Christmases. There he plays the role of Darryl, a man who ends up dating his childhood best friend Brad’s (Vaughn) mother.
Needless to say, that set up for disaster highlights the signature comedic allure that Van Horn often brought to the screen. Altogether, the actor played some pretty wholesome roles over the years.
Where is Patrick Van Horn Now?
After 2008, it’s not been too easy keeping tabs on Van Horn. Sure, there’s your run-of-the-mill social media to keep an eye on. But unfortunately, the star isn’t particularly active on any platform. Making him even more difficult to track down is the fact that there haven’t been any minor or major signals associated with his name.
So, as far as anyone is concerned. Patrick Van Horn could practically be anywhere doing just about anything. Will he somehow revive his acting career? That’s not a question that can be answered at the moment. However, fans will always have his movies to look to.
