From 29 June to 25 September 2006, he was part of the cast of the long-running soap opera All My Children playing the role of Jamal Cudahy.[2] He has also played the lead role in an independent film "I Do, I Did" (2009).[3]
Patrick announced on 13 September 2006, that he has left his role on All My Children, due to creative differences with the show.[4] He is also on The-N television show, Beyond The Break.[3]
On 11 May 2007, it was announced that he had joined the cast of Days of Our Lives in the role of Jett Carver.[5] His first air date was 1 June.[3] However, after five months he was fired.[6] NBC declined to comment on the reasons for this, and his last appearance aired on 14 November 2007.[3] Patrick himself has expressed the view that his dismissal was a consequence of an explicit photo shoot he completed in the September 2007 edition of Playgirl Magazine and the magazine website.[7] Unusual for celebrity subjects, Patrick elected to pose full frontally nude for several shots, in darkened silhouette.[8] He has also appeared on Just Jordan.[5] Marcus reported to H8terade Radio in 2010, that he was unaware that full frontal would be shown, and even went as far as saying that Playgirl ruined his career.
