Patrick recently took to Instagram to share his thoughts on the projects along with several photos from the Elvis miniseries.
“Playing Vernon Presley was an extraordinary experience for me, especially as an Elvis fan—it truly made the role unforgettable! Following my portrayal of Ray Cash in “Walk the Line,” I felt a unique connection to the character, having already explored the dynamic of a father supporting a gifted musician. Johnny Rhys Meyers delivered an outstanding performance as Elvis, and the entire cast was simply fantastic! ??#blessedandgrateful,” Patrick wrote in the June 28 post.
