'''Patrick Swayze''' (August 18, 1952 -- September 14, 2009) was an acclaimed [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] actor.
To begin with, he was the product of [[Badass Family|a dance instructor and a rodeo champion.]] Plainly, his destiny as an all-American, ballet-dancing, Judo-kicking beefcake was written in the stars.
Swayze's career began as an understudy for Danny Zuko in a Broadway production of ''[[Grease]]'', eventually leading to great deal of TV and film work. He was a peripheral member of the [[Brat Pack (actors)|Brat Pack]] (mainly via his role in ''[[The Outsiders]]'', alongside... well, pretty much ''every'' young male actor who made it big in [[The Eighties]]).
His breakout role came as Orry Main in the ''[[North and South US|North and South]]'' TV miniseries, followed by his iconic performance as Johnny Castle in ''[[Dirty Dancing]]''. Its wild success ended up [[Typecasting]] the actor, which resulted in several flops, the most successful of which was (ironically) ''[[Road House]]''.
His fame started to wane in [[The Nineties]], though he did make an incongruous appearance here and there, such as in ''[[Donnie Darko]]''. Swayze landed a starring role in the A&E cop drama ''The Beast'' right before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the only thing that would dare trifle with him. He died at age 57.

** Famously, he once performed an emergency landing of his plane on a paved residential street. Naturally, he emerged unhurt.
