This handsome, dark-haired model-turned-actor rose to fame with his three-year (1992-95) stint as the soap opera hunk Austin Reed on NBC's "Days of Our Lives". Patrick Muldoon's good looks and acting ability brought him a variety of offers from producers, but it was Aaron Spelling who won out and landed the actor for the recurring role of businessman-turned-rapist Richard Hart on the Fox nighttime soap "Melrose Place" (for the 1995-96 season). He segued to the big screen battling alien bugs as one of the "Starship Troopers" (1997) and continued in the sci-fi vein starring in the sequel "The Second Arrival" (HBO, 1998).
