Mandel Bruce Patinkin,[1] known as Mandy,[2][3] was born inChicago, Illinois, on November 30, 1952, to Doris Lee "Doralee" (née Sinton) (1925–2014), ahomemaker, and Lester Don Patinkin (1919–1972), who operated two large Chicago-area metal factories, the People's Iron & Metal Company and the Scrap Corporation of America.[1][4][5][6] Patinkin grew up in an upper-middle-class family, descended from Jewish immigrants fromPoland, and was raised inConservative Judaism,[3][7][8] attending religious school daily from the age of seven to 13 or 14 and singing in synagogue choirs, as well as attending Camp Sura inMichigan.[3] His father died ofpancreatic cancer in 1972.[9][10] His mother wroteGrandma Doralee Patinkin's Jewish Family Cookbook.[1] Patinkin's cousins includeMark Patinkin, an author and nationallysyndicated columnist forThe Providence Journal;Sheldon Patinkin ofColumbia College Chicago's Theater Department, a founder ofThe Second City;[11] Bonnie Miller Rubin, aChicago Tribune reporter; Laura Patinkin, a New York–based actress;Louis Rosen, a New York–based composer; and Stacy Oliver (née Patinkin), a writer and performer.[12]
He attended South Shore High School,Harvard St. George School, and Kenwood High School (later renamedKenwood Academy, where his teachers includedLena McLin), and graduated in 1970.[13] He attended theUniversity of Kansas and theJuilliard School (Drama DivisionGroup 5: 1972–1976).[14] At Juilliard, he was a classmate ofKelsey Grammer. When the producers of the sitcomCheers were holding auditions for the role of Dr.Frasier Crane, Patinkin put Grammer's name forward.[15]
After some television-commercial and radio appearances (including onCBS Radio Mystery Theater in 1974); Patinkin started his career on the New York stage in 1975, starring inTrelawny of the 'Wells' as Arthur Gower.Patinkin starred alongsideMeryl Streep, who played Imogen Parrott, andJohn Lithgow, who played Ferdinand Gadd. Clive Barnes ofThe New York Times praised the production writing, "The production looks beautiful and, indeed, still charms".[16]From 1975 through 1976, Patinkin played the Player King and Fortinbras, Prince of Norway in a Broadway revival ofHamlet, withSam Waterston in the leading role. In 1977 he starred in the playThe Shadow Box written byMichael Cristofer. He had his first film role as a Pool Man in the political comedyThe Big Fix (1978) starringRichard Dreyfus,John Lithgow, andF. Murray Abraham. The following year he acted in the coming of age romantic comedyFrench Postcards and the neo-noirLast Embrace.
Patinkin had his first success in musical theater when he starred as Che inAndrew Lloyd Webber'sEvita, oppositePatti LuPone, onBroadway in 1979.[2][17]Walter Kerr ofThe New York Times described his performance as "vigorous".[18] James Lardner ofThe Washington Post wrote, "Patinkin gives a sympathetic, consistent and rather sweet performance".[19] Patinkin won theTony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for his performance. He also received a nomination for theDrama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical.[2][3][17] Patinkin took film roles inMilos Forman's historical dramaRagtime (1980) playing Tateh andSidney Lumet's dramaDaniel (1983) portraying Paul Isaacson.
Patinkin won acclaim for his role as an Orthodox Jewish man Avigdor inBarbra Streisand's romantic drama epicYentl (1983), which earned him a nomination for theGolden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.[3] Richard Corliss ofTime praised his performance but criticized Streisand's choice to not have him sing in the film. Corliss wrote, "For her male co-star she hired Mandy Patinkin, who has wrapped his crystalline Broadway tenor voice aroundStephen Sondheim andAndrew Lloyd Webber, then gave him no songs to sing".[20] Veron Scott ofUnited Press International wrote, "When Patinkin is in a scene it is difficult to focus on anyone else, including Streisand who is at her very best inYentl. He plays profound, passionate men of action."[21] Patinkin noted that bothRagtime (1981) andDaniel (1983) weren't as successful as he had hoped commercially and critically saying, "When you care about the content of a film, you want people to see it". He stated he had a positive experience working with Streisand saying, "'She tried to overcome her superstardom to make me feel comfortable. She worked hard to get to know me for what I am." Patinkin also was able to explore his Jewish roots while making the film saying, "I also spent a couple of weeks inOhr Semach inJerusalem at ayeshiva, studying theTalmud and attending lectures. The experience awakened many thoughts and feelings that had been sleeping in me for some time."[22]
Patinkin returned to Broadway to star inStephen Sondheim andJames Lapine'sPulitzer Prize-winning musicalSunday in the Park with George,[23] in which he played thepointillist artistGeorges Seurat and his fictional great-grandson George.[10] Performances began in April 1984 and he starred oppositeBernadette Peters. Patinkin earned nominations for aTony Award for Best Actor in a Musical and aDrama Desk Award for Outstanding Actor in a Musical.[3][23]Frank Rich ofThe New York Times wrote, "Seurat, here embodied commandingly by Mandy Patinkin, could well be a stand-in for Mr. Sondheim, who brings the same fierce, methodical intellectual precision to musical and verbal composition that the artist brought to his pictorial realm."[24] Patinkin left the show on September 17 and was replaced byRobert Westenberg. He returned to the show on August 5, 1985, until the show closed two months later. His performance was captured on film and shown on television as a part ofAmerican Playhouse. The following year he took the role of Buddy Plummer inFollies: In Concert atLincoln Center.

In 1985 Patinkin took a leading role in the romantic fantasy comedyMaxie oppositeGlenn Close.Variety gave the film a mixed review but praised Patinkin, writing, "Much of the credit for keeping [Maxie] alive must go to Mandy Patinkin, who shows himself to be a good-looking leading man with a rare light touch for romantic comedy."[25] In 1987, Patinkin playedInigo Montoya inRob Reiner'sThe Princess Bride, playing the role of the best swordsman in the country, looking to avenge his father's death.[10] Patinkin acted oppositeCary Elwes,Robin Wright,Andre the Giant, andBilly Crystal.Variety praised his performance writing, "Patinkin especially is a joy to watch and the film comes to life when his longhaired, scruffy cavalier is on screen."[26] His character has earned acult following and his memorable line "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die," was ranked as one ofIGN's best movie moments.[27] The following year in 1988 he acted in the science fiction action filmAlien Nation directed byGraham Baker and the neo-noir filmThe House on Carroll Street directed byPeter Yates.
Over the next decade, he continued to appear in movies, includingWarren Beatty's action crime comedyDick Tracy (1990) andHerbert Ross's political comedyTrue Colors (1991). He also portrayedAlfred de Musset inJames Lapine's period dramaImpromptu (1991) starringHugh Grant,Judy Davis,Emma Thompson, and reunited with Bernadette Peters. Dessen Howe ofThe Washington Post described his performance writing "he makes an effective comic catalyst".[28]
On Broadway, Patinkin appeared as Lord Archibald Craven oppositeRebecca Luker andRobert Westenberg in the musicalThe Secret Garden in 1991 and was nominated for aDrama Desk Award as Outstanding Actor in a Musical. He left the show in September of that same year andHoward McGillin took over his role.[29] He also released two solo albums, titledMandy Patinkin (1989)[30] andDress Casual (1990).[31] In January 1993, he took over the role of Marvin fromMichael Rupert in the Broadway musicalFalsettos and starred oppositeBarbara Walsh,Stephen Bogardus, andChip Zien.[32] In 1995, Patinkin sang the role of Billy Bigelow in a concert performance ofRodgers and Hammerstein'sCarousel at theBBC Radio Theatre.[33]
In 1994, Patinkin took the role of Dr. Jeffrey Geiger onCBS'sChicago Hope[3] for which he won thePrimetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. However, despite the award and the ratings success of the show, Patinkin left the show during the second season because he was unhappy spending so much time away from his wife and children.[34] He returned to the show in 1999 at the beginning of the sixth season, but it was canceled in 2000. SinceChicago Hope, Patinkin has appeared in a number of films. However, he has mostly performed as a singer, releasing three more albums.
During this time Patinkin guest-starred inThe Simpsons in the episode "Lisa's Wedding" (1995) as Hugh Parkfield,Lisa's future English groom and inThe Larry Sanders Show (1996) for which he received a nomination for thePrimetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series.

After turning down the role in theWalt Disney Animated filmThe Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), he portrayedQuasimodo in theTNT television filmThe Hunchback (1997) acting oppositeSalma Hayek, andRichard Harris. John O'Connor fromThe New York Times praised his performance writing, "[Patinkin] is surprisingly restrained...His Quasimodo is a gentle and quite moving creature, shyly hiding his facial disfigurations in the shadows". Connor praised the production writing that its "oddly old-fashioned, paying a kind of homage, as does Mr. Patinkin's performance, to theLaughton film."[35]
Mamaloshen, Patinkin's musical production of songs sung entirely inYiddish, premiered in 1998. He has performed the show on Broadway and in venues around the United States. The recorded version won aDeutscher Schallplattenpreis award in Germany.[36] In 1999, Patinkin co-starred in the secondSesame Street film,The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, as Huxley, an abusive, childish, sadistic, and greedy man with abnormally large eyebrows, who steals whatever he can grab and then claims it as his own.[37][38]
Patinkin returned to Broadway in 2000 in theNew York Shakespeare Festival production ofMichael John LaChiusa'sThe Wild Party, portraying Burrs oppositeToni Collette as Queenie.

In September 2005, he secured the role ofJason Gideon, an experiencedprofiler just coming back to work after a series ofnervous breakdowns, in the newCBS crime-drama television seriesCriminal Minds.[2] Patinkin was absent from a table read forCriminal Minds and did not return for a third season. The departure from the show was not due to contractual or salary matters, but over creative differences. He left apologetic letters for his fellow cast members explaining his reasons and wishing them luck. Many weeks before his departure, in a videotaped interview carried in the online magazineMonaco Revue, Patinkin told journalists at theFestival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo that he loathed violence on television and was uncomfortable with certain scenes inCriminal Minds. He later called his choice to doCriminal Minds his "biggest public mistake" and stated that he "thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again."[42]
Patinkin spoke of having planned to tour the world with a musical and wanting to inject more comedy into the entertainment business.[43] In later episodes ofCriminal Minds, during the 2007–08 season, Jason Gideon was written out of the series and replaced by Special AgentDavid Rossi (played byJoe Mantegna). Gideon was later officiallykilled off, ending all chances of a guest appearance by Patinkin on the show. In 2008, Patinkin portrayedProspero in anoff-Broadway musical production ofThe Tempest opposite Elisabeth Waterston andMichael Potts. Marilyn Stasio ofVariety wrote, "Patinkin has a beautiful voice, as warm and golden as honey spooned from a jar -- the perfect voice to sing us through "The Tempest," the most musical of Shakespeare's late plays."[44] On October 14, 2009, it was announced that Patinkin would be a guest star on an episode ofThree Rivers, which aired on November 15, 2009. He played a patient withLou Gehrig's disease injured in a car accident who asks the doctors at Three Rivers Hospital to take him offlife support so his organs can be donated.

In a July 2025New York Times interview with his wife Grody, Patinkin was critical of Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu's policies during theGaza War, arguing that his actions are "endangering the Jewish population all over the world" and that "to watch what is happening, for the Jewish people to allow this to happen to children and civilians of all ages in Gaza, for whatever reason, is unconscionable and unthinkable."[65][66][67]
