I searched but I did not find a thread on him. I guess he's best known for being the male companion of Julia Roberts when she became a real life runaway bride, being not-Keanu in the Speed sequel and being Jackie Gleason's grandson. He's been intensely private. Yet, recently, he decided to go public about the custody battle over his son. Long story short: One of his exes, with whom he had dated off and on for years, wanted a baby. He volunteered his sperm. She became pregnant via artificial insemination. (They were not in a relationship at the time.) Some time later, they got back together, but later broke up again-for good. Then he filed for custody of the boy. I also read this post on Jezebel ( Jason Patric's Custody Battle Makes Him Look Like an Abusive Psycho) which listed some negative allegations against Jason Patric, including anti-Semitism. (The ex whom he is suing for custody, Danielle Schrieber, happens to be Jewish.) What a mess.

He was on The View probably a year ago or more talking about this and, frankly, he sounded like a loose cannon and scarily bitter. It irritated the shit out of me that the women were all acting super-sympathetic to his "cause."

I guess there are always some women that are on the side of the poor hot guy. I always think of him as his character in "Your Friends and Neighbors"

I had no idea he was Jackie Gleason's grandson. He seems seriously psycho and this custody battle is just ugly and if the allegations against Jason are true, he shouldn't have custody of his kid.

twodollars - Yes, Jason Patric's mother was Jackie Gleason's daughter. ETA: @mulva - I first heard about this case via the Jezebel post. Then I looked at the New York Times article. Interesting how his ex is accusing him of being an anti-Semite, and the New York Times publishes a picture of Jason Patric with infamous anti-Semite Mel Gibson.

I celeb-crushed hard on this dude in the 80s circa the Lost Boys. The Julia/Kiefer/Jason drama was some of the best celeb gossip ever.
He sabotaged his career by being a difficult jerk.

I don't know if he's an anti-Semite. If he is and she willing chose him as her baby's father, then I'm side-eyeing her too. Because that's what she's saying: that he agreed to father her child and nothing else. You mean to tell me she couldn't find an anonymous sperm donor to father her child. She decided to go with a known anti-Semite and abuser. I'm sorry I find that a tad bit suspicious.

Wow. So disappointing when my youthful crushes grow up and turn psycho. I had a Lost Boys poster over my bed in high school simply for Jason. So dreamy back then.

I read the Rolling Stone article on this today, and it mentioned (off handedly) that he and Kiefer Sutherland are still friends. Which, really?
