Sean Swayze Defends The Comment Against His Brother

Born in 1962, Sean Kyle Swayze Sean has explored various roles in the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera.

He had a short-lived acting career in the film industry, where he portrayed some minor roles in movies like: Lost in the Woods, The 4th Stage, Sam and Cat and Letter From a Killer.

Besides acting, Sean seems to keep a low profile working behind the camera, which explains his low popularity compared to his brothers.

Although Sean mostly stays out of the spotlight, he isn’t one to remain silent when it comes to matters involving his brother.

On May 2, 2024, during an interview with Andy Cohen on Radio Andy – SiriusXM, John Leguizamo, who co-starred with Patrick Swayze in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, made some unflattering comments about Sean’s late brother.

This comment was certainly not well received by Sean, prompting him to speak out about it to TMZ.

He defended his brother, protesting the label of Patrick Swayze as neurotic and difficult.

He stated that his brother tended to get along with everyone he worked with and that he had never heard a complaint about Patrick on that set or any other.

Sean also recalled meeting Leguizamo later at a party for the film What Dreams May Come and claimed that his own experience with Leguizamo was also unpleasant.

Don Swayze Continues To Follow Patrick’s Footsteps

However, Patrick’s other brother has his own way of honoring his late brother.

Born on August 10, 1958, Don Swayze is an American actor known for acting in dramatic series and soap operas, as well as several feature films and theatrical works.

He began his acting career in the 1980s in TV shows and movies. Unlike his older brother, Don often played violent and unsavory characters.

With the significant improvement in his acting skills from TV shows, he got his first film Shy People in 1987, which opened the door of numerous opportunities for him.

He also worked as a stuntman in Letters from a Killer, where he was featured along with his brothers.

He is now set to appear in the upcoming movie On Swift Horses, which will have its world premiere on September 7, 2024, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Besides establishing his career in acting, Don along with his wife Charlene Swayze have established an animal therapy ranch named Swayze Ranch in San Diego County, California.

While Don honors his late brother Patrick’s legacy by continuing to walk in the footsteps of his brother, Sean on the other hand, voices out when something wrong is said about Patrick.

Despite their different approaches, both brothers are deeply committed to paying tribute to him.

Patrick would surely be proud of his younger brothers as he watches over them from the other side.
