Patrick Gilmore was born on June 1, 1976, in Canada. He is a renowned actor, particularly recognized for his portrayal of Dale Volker in the science fiction series Stargate Universe.
Gilmore has also appeared in other prominent science fiction shows such as Battlestar Galactica and Eureka, and has played the role of Trennan in Riese. He is one of the first actors to feature in all three Stargate TV series, alongside Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks, Ona Grauer, and Gary Jones.
Initially, Dale Volker was a minor character, but Gilmore's outstanding performance as Volker impressed the show-runners, resulting in the character being given more screen time and backstory. A similar scenario occurred with the character of Dr. Carson Beckett, played by Paul McGillion.
Gilmore also portrays entrepreneur Tom Drexler in the AMC television series The Killing.
Born into a family of accomplished individuals, Patrick is the son of professional hockey player Tom Gilmore and the brother of Scott Gilmore, Executive Director and co-founder of Peace Dividend Trust.
Patrick graduated from the University of Alberta with a degree in English Literature.
