# Patrick Gorman (American actor)

Patrick O Gorman (born August 3, 1934) is an American theatre, film and television actor.

## Early life

Born in Visalia, California, Gorman spent eight years in the military and studied acting in Paris, France. While in Paris, he had a stint in the Cirque Medrano as a clown.

## Career

He has a background in musical comedy performing in Judy Garland's act around the country and at the Palace Theatre (Broadway) in New York City. He also danced in the nightclub acts of Donald O'Connor, Sammy Davis Jr. and Jimmy Durante.
   Any the funny thing is, I don’t really look like him at all, but I had something. And incredible luck. The fact that I have a lot of Civil War fans validates that I guess, because apparently I was very successful in getting Hood’s persona across.
Appearances in film include the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor, 1986's In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro, 1993's war epic Gettysburg, 1995's Wild Bill, 1997's Rough Riders and his reprisal of the role of Confederate General John Bell Hood in the 2003 film Gods and Generals. In the 2019 film Avengers: Endgame, he was Chris Evans' body double in the role of an elderly Steve Rogers; Evans's face in prosthetics was later edited on. Gorman alluded to the role in an Instagram post.
