Backstory
Born in Trinidad, Patrick came to the UK in the 1950s to find work. He was subjected to racism and, during the 1958 Notting Hill race riots, was convicted of assault, while his fiancée Ruth was killed in a fire lit by Tommy Clifford who was a Teddy boy. Patrick played in a band named "The Five Hectors", which eventually disbanded. Later, he married a religious woman named Audrey (Corinne Skinner-Carter) in a shotgun wedding in 1969 after she allegedly fell pregnant with his son, Paul (Gary Beadle). In 1970, they had a second child, Anthony (Nicholas Bailey), but Patrick left Audrey and the children shortly after.
Patrick Star
Patrick Star is a fictional character in the American animated television series SpongeBob SquarePants. He is voiced by actor Bill Fagerbakke, who also voices numerous other characters on the show. Created and designed by marine biologist and cartoonist Stephen Hillenburg, the series creator, Patrick first appeared on television in the show's pilot episode "Help Wanted" on May 1, 1999.
Depicted as an overweight, dimwitted pink starfish, Patrick lives under a rock in the underwater city of Bikini Bottom next door to Squidward Tentacles' moai. His most significant character trait is his lack of common sense, which sometimes leads him and his best friend, main character SpongeBob SquarePants, into trouble. Patrick is unemployed and a self-proclaimed expert in the "art of doing nothing".
The character has received positive reactions from critics and fans alike; however, he has been involved in a public controversy that centered on speculation over his relationship with SpongeBob. Patrick has been included in various SpongeBob SquarePants-related merchandise, including trading cards, video games, plush toys, and comic books. He appears in the 2004 full-length feature film The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and in its 2015 sequel.
