Steve Carrell On Working With Khali, Nick Patrick Update

August 15, 2008

Steve Carell recently did an interview talking about working with The Great Khali for the movie Get Smart. Carrell said there was a fight scene between him and Khali that almost went terribly wrong. Carell said, “My life flashed before my eyes because I wasn’t ready to duck. And if I didn’t duck I would have had my head removed from my body. I would be a torso running around!”

The release of referee Nick Patrick appears to be a numbers game. Most of the younger referees work the ring crew. Patrick’s release doesn’t appear to be a backlash to the failure of his father’s Deep South Wrestling. His father, The Assassin, ran the former WWE developmental territory.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
