PATRICK HEUSINGER BIOGRAPHY: GREATEST LIFE LESSON

When Heusinger was a high schooler at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, actor Peter Weller, who had been directing a film in Jacksonville, Florida at the time, visited the high school to talk to the students. Weller told the students a tale of Marcus Aurelius, a philosopher and the emperor of the Roman empire. Aurelius had a deal with the people in which whenever a battle was won, the general that won the battle must ride through a grand parade through Rome. Aurelius, however, also required that the general must ride through the parade with the lowliest of slaves standing next to him. Throughout the chariot ride, Aurelius would whisper in the general’s ear, “All glory is fleeting.”

What did Heusinger get from Weller’s story? “No matter how much success you have, no matter how big you might feel in your brain, it will all disappear at some point,” Heusinger said. “Enjoy it, but stay grounded with the function of it and keep focused on what you should be focused on, which is not the parade, it’s the work.”

PATRICK HEUSINGER BIOGRAPHY: HOW HE GOT INTO ACTING

Heusinger described his first experience acting while competing in a Latin competition. Heusinger learned Latin in middle school and took part in a county-wide Latin competition in which students showed off their knowledge of Greek history, art, and more. Heusinger memorized a section in Latin from The Aeneid. “I didn’t memorize it all the way, but I had a lot of gusto in my performance so they gave me second place,” Heusinger recalled with a laugh.

Heusinger’s teachers noticed that he had a natural aptitude for public speaking and encouraged him to attend Douglas Anderson School of the Arts and participate in their summer musical. Heusinger had a small role in the musical Annie Get Your Gun when he was 13 years old. On the opening night of the play, Heusinger stopped his mother on their way home and told her, “That’s what I want to do for the rest of my life. I’m gonna be an actor, that’s what I’m gonna do.”

At 16, Heusinger did his first play. One of his former cast-mates from the play attended The Juilliard School the following year and convinced Heusinger to audition for the school. “I really didn’t know anything about it nor did I think that it was realistic that I could get in,” he said. He was later accepted and attended The Juilliard School. Studying at Juilliard was Heusinger’s first time living outside of his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.

PATRICK HEUSINGER BIOGRAPHY: PERSONAL LIFE, DATING HISTORY

Heusinger told Broadway Buzz in 2010 that he was careful talking about politics and religion. Heusinger mentioned that he “used to not talk about how [he] grew up.”

“I just liked everything to be a secret. It’s not because I was embarrassed,” he said. “We grew up with no money, and I was always playing these kings or princes or aristocrats, which was ironic. I just wanted people to assume that whatever I was onstage was what I was. You’re more believable if people don’t know much about you personally.”

Heusinger is dating Brazilian model Natália Toledo. Heusinger previously dated Russian actress Polina Frantsena until 2017 and American singer/actress Ashley Brown in 2006.
