Handsome and limber dancer Regan Patno was born on March 4, 1965 in
Ventura, California. Patno took a tap and tumbling class at age three
and enrolled in a jazz dance class at age fifteen. His first
professional dance gig was in a Vegas-style production called "Viola"
in Sun City, South Africa. Regan joined the cast of the immensely
popular music variety TV series "Solid Gold" as a regular featured
dancer in 1986 and remained on the show until the end of its final
season in 1988. In addition to his "Solid Gold" stint Patno also made
frequent appearances as a dancer on various episodes of the TV series
"Fame." Regan pops up as one of the male dancers in the music video for
Madonna's "Material Girl." He's appeared as a dancer in such films as
"Fast Forward," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," "Death Becomes Her,"
"Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit," and "The Singing Detective." Patno
was Dennis Quaid's dance double for "The Parent Trap." Moreover, Regan
has made guest appearances on episodes of the TV shows "Red Shoe
Diaries," "Home Improvement," "The Drew Carey Show," and "Journeyman."
Patno now performs as part of a unique live theatrical variety act
called the Tweaksters: along with partner Julia Snyder the duo has not
only performed on cruise ships and at basketball half-time shows,
military bases, and corporate events, but have also appeared on various
national and international television programs.
