Patrick Connolly Bergin (born February 4, 1951) is an Irish actor. He is perhaps best known for playing the menacing husband of Julia Roberts' character in the thriller Sleeping with the Enemy. Bergin also appeared as Robin Hood in a 1991 TV movie. He recently played the role of psychotic Provisional Irish Republican Army gunman in Johnny Was, opposite Vinnie Jones and Roger Daltrey.
Bergin was born in Dublin. He took the name "James" at confirmation. Bergin stands 6'3" (1.91 m), and was formerly a mathematics teacher. In 1992, Bergin married Paula Frazier, a British woman of Afro-Caribbean descent. They were married in Carapichaima, Trinidad and Tobago. Bergin's refined taste in art favours fellow-countryman Norman Teeling, whose ten-painting suite, The 1916 Rising, highlighting historic moments of the Easter Rising, deserves its permanent display at the General Post Office in Dublin.
