Life and career

Patrick Alan Lilley was born in Inglewood, California, on August 2, 1953. At the age of seven, he was discovered by a talent agent, resulting in a string of appearances in television commercials and guest appearances on television shows. In 1961, he made his feature film debut in The Two Little Bears, a 20th Century Fox comedy in which he co-starred Eddie Albert and Jane Wyatt.

Patrick went on to appear on numerous television shows, including Ben Casey, Alcoa Premiere, Bonanza, My Favorite Martian, Mister Ed, and Rawhide, as well as recurring roles on The Real McCoys and General Hospital over the next two years. These performances will see him as opposing headliners including Judy Garland, Burt Lancaster, and Sidney Poitier.

Patrick began his acting career by reciting his mother's career: "I owe my success to my sister." She was the one who got me started and gave me all the support. She's always wanted to be a model and was on the casting call one day. When she asked if there were any other children at home, she said no. "I told them about me, and they learned of me, and then some major ones..."

Patrick obtained the role of child werewolf Eddie Munster in 1964, starring Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as Lily Munster and Al Lewis as Grandpa on the CBS television series The Munsters, a fantasy situation comedy loosely based on Universal's movie monsters. Eddie was first played by kid actor Happy Derman in the pilot episode before Patrick was eventually selected out of hundreds of boys for the role.

Patrick recalled "I had a lot of experience" when asked how he got the role of Eddie. However, it was likely that my fangs were my own teeth. My teeth were so bad, that even when I closed my mouth, they stuck out. I was about a head shorter than the other boys, and the girls loved it because it showed off Herman's height." Patrick commuted to Los Angeles every week during filming of the film, appearing in 70 episodes from 1964 to 1966 on the Munsters' two-season run.

"No, not in The Munsters, she wasn't doing that," she said when asked if he remembered his TV mother (Yvonne De Carlo) burying little bits of dialogue around the set, attaching them to props to help with recall, so the interview could be extended to her performance: "No, not in The Munsters. Perhaps later in life. Because your memory is fading on you.

But that's a great idea, actually!

I'll have to remember that!

"Italians are a bit of a sarcastic," the writer wrote.

Since the Munsters were cancelled, especially De Carlo, who died on January 8, 2007, he was asked if he had kept in touch with his on-screen family. "No, after the show ended, everyone went their own way," he said. However, I contacted Al Lewis in the early 1980s and became a close friend, and I began attaching myself to the Munster name and brand. And then ten years later, I started talking to Yvonne. I was actually a visitor on The Vicki Lawrence Exhibition, where I was this surprise guest was welcomed out for Yvonne and then became friends. "I started visiting her, and she was somewhat of a recluse, living in North Los Angeles, and I introduced her to this guy in Hollywood who would bring her care packages, movies to watch, and sort of get her back to Hollywood.

Patrick continued to appear in many popular television series of the 1960s, including I Dream of Jeannie, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke (1966's "Mad Dog"), The Monkee, Daniel Boone, and Adam-12), as well as a recurring role as Gordon Dearing on CBS family comedy film My Three Sons. During this period, Patrick appeared in numerous Walt Disney films, including Way Down Cellar, The Young Loner, Genuine, Original Family Band, and many others, as well as portraying Milo in the 1970 MGM live-action/animated film The Phantom Tollbooth.

Patrick performed on Sid and Marty Krofft's Saturday morning children's program Lidsville, which was broadcast on ABC. Patrick portrayed Mark, a boy lost in a strange land of walking, singing, and removing hats of veteran character actors Charles Nelson Reilly and Billie Hayes in the psychedelic fantasy series. From 1971 to 1973, the show was in existence.

Patrick learned to play the bass guitar when he was in 1975. "Whatever Happened To Eddie," he wrote in 1983. "Little Monsters" b/w, associating with many guitarists and backup singers under the group name "Eddie and the Monsters." The song, which is to the tune of the Munsters' theme, recounts his life as a Munster. ("You might be wondering why I have a dragon for a pet; well, he's just there to keep me company on the set." Patrick's first song, "It's Only Halloween," was released on Park Lane Drive Records in 2007.

Patrick also did occasional film and television work, including making cameo appearances as "Himself" on episodes of the Fox animated television series The Simpsons and the 2003 comedy film Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star, as well as appearing as a grown-up Eddie Munster in a Little Caesars Pizza commercial.

Patrick co-hosted Macabre Theatre with Natalie Popovich aka "Ivonna Cadaver" in 2002. He appeared in the first episode of the E! that same year. Star Dates, a network celebrity dating reality television show, is a cable television show.

Patrick appeared in Frankenstein vs. the Creature from Blood Cove, directed by William Winckler, as a man who had become a werewolf, giving a line of dialogue in a parody of The Munsters.
