Patrick Swayze Interview (August 3, 1987)
Patrick Wayne Swayze (/ˈsweɪzi/; August 18, 1952 - September 14, 2009) was an American actor, dancer and singer known for playing distinctive lead roles, particularly romantic, tough and comedic characters. He was also known for his media image and looks; People magazine named Swayze the "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1991.
Swayze received three nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Lead Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical; this was for his roles in the romance film Dirty Dancing (1987), the thriller film Ghost (1990) and the road comedy film To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (1995). He also acted in famous action films such as Road House (1989) and Point Break (1991). He was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1997.
Swayze co-wrote and recorded the popular song "She's Like the Wind" and was posthumously awarded the Rolex Dance Award in 2012. In 2009, Swayze died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 57.
Patrick Wayne Swayze was born on August 18, 1952, in Houston, Texas, the second child of Patsy Swayze (née Karnes; 1927-2013), a dancer, choreographer, and dance instructor, and Jesse Wayne Swayze (1925-1982), an engineering draftsman.[1][2] He had an older sister, Vickie (1949-1994), two younger brothers, actor Don (born 1958) and Sean (born 1962), and a younger sister, Bambi.[3] Swayze's paternal ancestor was Englishman John Swasey (1619-1706) from Bridport in Dorset.[4] During the Great Migration, Swasey travelled aboard The Recovery, ultimately arriving in Massachusetts. He married Katherine Kinge from Essex and eventually had seven children. Their grandson Samuel, a judge, was among the first to use the Swayze spelling.[4]
Until age 20, Swayze lived in the Oak Forest neighborhood of Houston, where he attended St. Rose of Lima Catholic School,[5] Oak Forest Elementary School,[6] Black Middle School,[6][7] Waltrip High School,[6] and San Jacinto College Central. During this time, he pursued multiple artistic and athletic skills, such as ice skating, classical ballet, and acting in school plays. He also played football during high school, hoping to receive a football scholarship for college, until a knee injury ended his career. He concurrently practiced martial arts such as Wushu, Taekwondo, and Aikido, which he used to channel his "self-deprecating rage."[8] In 1972, he moved to New York City to complete his formal dance training at the Harkness Ballet and Joffrey Ballet schools.[9]

Swayze dog is the man!
LINDO!
Watching this now as if it was 1987 again, it feels like Swayze could have had a much better career from here on, he even talks here about directing. Many of his projects from 87 on seemed less and less reflecting who he was as a person.

I Love the interview but the emblem in it is very irritating made too important
If patriotism was at an all time low in the late 1980’s, he’d shit a brick today. We are definitely at an all time low today

Patriotism is the desease of this world responsible for keeping people more separated fighting wars for false ideals, if anything nations and borders need to fall if humans wish to survive and evolve. Patriotism was one giant lie sold to people for generations, and I think iif Patrick was around these days he would realize it by now as well.
