Patterson attended Ontario college and in 1951 stated his acting career.
His credits from the British phase of his career include Above Us the Waves (1955), Time Lock (1957) and Jack the Ripper (1960). In the U.S. from 1960 onward, Patterson briefly joined the "beach boy" set as a private eye on the weekly adventure series Surfside 6. He later settled into daytime drama, first as Dr. Kevin Cooke in Another World. For well over a decade, Lee Patterson was seen as reporter Joe Riley. Patterson is best known for his rolls in Surfside 6" in the early 60's and "One Life to Live" from 1967 to 1970 and from 1972 to 1979.
(bio by: Steve Edquist)∼Born as Beverley Frank Atherley Patterson, son of John Atherley Patterson (born 1902 Lanchester, Durham, England) and Annie Flint (born England). His parents married in 1922 in England. Please refer to IMDB and Wikipedia for his filmography.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lee Patterson will always be remembered by American audiences as the hunky detective alongside equally hunky detectives Van Williams and Troy Donahue on "Surfside 6" (1960-1962). But, prior to that, he had a solid second-string career in British films playing Americanized parts. Born Canada, he went to college in Ontario before crossing the ocean and settling in England. A former stage manager and theatre publicist in his salad days, he was a rock-solid presence in such "B" films as 36 Hours (1953) (aka Terror Street), The Good Die Young (1954), Reach for the Sky (1956), The Flying Scot (1957) (aka The Mailbag Robbery) and Jack the Ripper (1959). The momumental success of the private eye series "77 Sunset Strip" (1958) and the hair combing Edd Byrnes "Kookie" craze instigated a number of imitations with "Surfside 6" (1960) being just one of them. It lasted a rather short two seasons but it did establish Lee here in America. As good looking as the exotic locales behind him on the show, his slew of soap opera roles along the way, most notably on "One Life to Live" (1968) as the husband of Victoria Lord Riley (Erika Slezak), and father to her two sons Kevin and Joey Riley (now Buchanan). Lee also appeared on "Another World" and "Texas" as Dr. Kevin Cooke during the 1980's. His last documented role was playing Sergeant Gaylor in the movie "Healer". Cause of death (cancer)
