Will Patton's journey began in Charleston, South Carolina, where he was born, surrounded by the rich cultural heritage of the Palmetto State. His father, Bill Patton, a man of many talents, was not only a playwright and acting/directing instructor but also a Lutheran minister, dedicating his life to serving others. This multifaceted individual had a profound impact on Patton's early life, instilling in him a sense of creativity and compassion.
