Was 'Patcher' the guy in the leather jacket?


I see in the cast list that Chris Robinson played the character, Patcher. Was he the young hood in the leather jacket? The one who was involved in the warehouse robbery?

Yes. He was the one that came after Griff with and stabbed him.

Thanks. I knew he looked sort of familiar.

You may remember him in the commercial where he said "I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV." By that he was referring to his role on General Hospital.

LOL! Yes. I sure do remember that one.
Edit- I use to watch him on GH

I just watched Because They're Young on TCM - I have not seen it since it was originally released. I thought it held up pretty well and was disappointed that Chris Robinson didn't get billing in the end as his character was pivotal to the film.

That was odd. I also watched it again this afternoon. I just love it. It's one of my favorite teen movies of that era. So many great actors and actresses I remember from my youth, and of course, there's Dick!
