Hank Patterson (born Elmer Calvin Patterson; October 9, 1888 – August 23, 1975) was an American actor and musician. He is most known for playing stableman Hank Miller on Gunsmoke and Fred Ziffel on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres.

Patterson was born in Springville, Alabama. He had intended to be a serious pianist, but became instead a vaudeville piano player, eventually moving to Hollywood where he played in a series of movies, largely Westerns and science fiction from 1939 to 1973. He also played in a number of television westerns including The Cisco Kid, The Adventures of Kit Carson, The Lone Ranger, Annie Oakley, Have Gun-Will Travel, The Rifleman and Bonanza. He was also in a couple of episodes of Cheyenne, Maverick, Lawman and Daniel Boone.

Hank's great-grandfather, James Pearson, was an original settler of St. Clair County, Alabama as was his mother's great-grandfather, Thomas Newton. Between 1894 & 1897, the family left Alabama to live in Taylor, Texas where Hank attempted to work as a serious musician only to settle for playing piano in traveling vaudeville shows.

Patterson's great-niece is actress Téa Leoni.^[1]

Balfour Patrick Patterson (born 15 September 1961) is a former fast bowler for the West Indian cricket team in the late 1980s and early 1990s.^[1]

Early life[link]

Born in Portland, Jamaica to Maurice and Emelda, Patterson attended Happy Grove High School and Wolmer's School, receiving his Jamaica School Certificate.^[2]

Patterson's father and grandfather played parish level cricket in Jamaica^[2] and Patterson showed ability from an early age and made his debut for Jamaica in 1983. He also played for Lancashire in the English County Championship, between 1984 and 1990, and Tasmania in the Sheffield Shield 1984-85.

Career[link]

Patterson arrived on the international scene in the absence of Michael Holding for the 1986 Sabina Park Test against England, and was instantly heralded as the fastest bowler in the international game. Broadly built, aggressive and quick, Patterson took seven wickets on debut. He kept his place and became a regular new ball bowler for the West Indies.^[1] Graham Gooch, seasoned England opener, remarked that Patterson frightened him with his fast bowling.^[1]

Patterson returned figures of 5/24 in the first Test of the 1987/8 series against India, bowling them out in 30.3 overs, or little over one session of play on the first day.^[3] In a Test Match in Melbourne, 1988–89, during Christmas, just before second last days play, Steve Waugh decided to bounce Patterson. At the end of the day's play, Patterson stormed into the Australian dressing room and threatened to kill all the opposition batsmen on the pitch on the fifth and final day of play. Australia were then dismissed for 114 chasing 400. Patterson finished with five wickets in the innings and nine wickets for the match.^[4]

He was dropped for disciplinary reasons after the 1992/3 tour to Australia, the last time the West Indies won a series in Australia. Patterson's career strike rate of 51.9 is amongst the best of all time, although his 93 Test wickets came at a slightly high average of 30.9 owing to his excessively attacking nature and subsequent field settings, which always provided opportunity for runs as well as wickets.^{[citation needed]}

Career[link]

Patterson gave classical recitals around Ireland^[1] and won scholarships to study in London, Paris and in the Netherlands.^[4] While in Paris, he appeared in a radio broadcast which caught the attention of the Philips Record Company. This led to a contract^[1] and his first record, My Dear Native Land. He worked with conductors such as Sir Colin Davis and some of the most prestigious orchestras in Europe including the London Symphony Orchestra and Orchestre de Paris.^[5] He also toured with Janine Micheau in Pelléas et Mélisande^[3] and won a reputation as a singer of Handel, Mozart, and Bach oratorios and German, Italian and French song. Patterson had a long running programme on RTÉ, the Irish national broadcaster, titled For Your Pleasure.

In the early 1980s he moved to the United States, making his home in rural Westchester County, New York.^[1] A resurgence of interest in Irish culture encouraged him to turn towards a more traditional Irish repertoire.^[1] Adding hymns, ballads, and traditional as well as more popular tunes to his catalogue he became a popular singer in a country with a strong Irish connection and in March 1988 was featured host in a St. Patrick's Day celebration of music and dance at New York's famous Radio City Music Hall.^[6]

He gave an outdoor performance on the steps of the Capitol in Washington with the National Symphony Orchestra before an audience of 60,000.^[1] Patterson was equally at home in more intimate settings, such as a concert he gave for Boys’ Town.^[5] His singing in the role of the Evangelist in Bach's St. John Passion was given fine reviews.^[5] Further recordings followed, of Beethoven arrangements, Irish songs, Berlioz songs, Purcell songs and others, all on the Philips label.^[5]

Rising to greater prominence with the new popularity of Celtic music in the 1990s, Patterson saw many of his past recordings reissued for American audiences, and in 1998 he starred in the PBS special 'Ireland in Song'.^[3] His last album outsold Pavarotti.^[4]

Religion and social conscience[link]

Patterson was a devout Catholic, and in 1979 sang at the Mass celebrated by Pope John Paul II in Dublin's Phoenix Park before a congregation of almost a million people.^[5] In 1984 he was awarded the Knighthood of St. Gregory by the Pope.^[4] He was also a Knight of Malta and a Knight Commander of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. While many of his Irish songs were quite sentimental, he did not indulge in strongly nationalistic themes and the first funds raised for the Glencree Centre for Peace and Reconciliation in the early 1970s were takings from a concert he gave in the Rupert Guinness Hall. Later, he continued to donate to the Centre from performances by him at the National Concert Hall in Dublin.^[11]

Illness and death[link]

In 1999, Frank learned he had a brain tumour. He had several operations in the following year and his condition appeared to have stabilised.^[1] Cardinal O'Connor, in his personal funeral plan, had requested that Frank Patterson sing Ave Maria at his funeral. Patterson's last performance was at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston,^[1] and the following morning he fell ill and cancelled his appearance at the Cardinal's funeral. That day he was admitted to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center where he lapsed into a coma and died at the age of 61.^[12]

At his death accolades and tributes came from, among others, President of Ireland Mary McAleese, Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Bertie Ahern and Opposition leader John Bruton who said he had "the purest voice of his generation."^[4] He was survived by his wife, the concert pianist Eily O'Grady, their son Eanan, a violinist with whom he frequently performed, and by his sister Imelda Malone and brothers Noel and Maurice.^[4]

In February 2002 an independent film-maker, Johnny Watts, met Eily Patterson on Staten Island, New York . This meeting resulted in 'The Tribute In Song', a series of three one-hour programmes featuring Patterson's music to commemorate those killed in Manhattan in 9/11 which also became a moving tribute to Frank Patterson himself.^[14] In September 2008, Watts personally presented to the Irish Consulate in New York City, a plaque that honored Frank Patterson's contribution to 'Tribute In Song'. It was intended that the plaque would be returned to Patterson's native Clonmel.^{[citation needed]}

A bronze life-size piece by sculptor Jerry McKenna from Texas, titled "The Golden Tenor Statue", was unveiled to his memory in Mick Delahunty Square, Clonmel, in June 2002.^[15]
