The Event's Scott Patterson Plays My Favorite Scene: Halloween Edition

Contrary to the character he played on Gilmore Girls for seven seasons, Scott Patterson is neither simple, gruff nor a small town diner owner. He is a self-described "tortured" actor/abstract painter/petrified baby frog collector, though, whose answer to beloved parlor game "My Favorite Scene" was so dark and surprising, Movieline decided to save it for Halloween. Can you guess which haunting torture scene The Event actor picked?

"There are several but I think one that really stands out is from A Clockwork Orange," Patterson said. "The one when Alex is being forced to watch the horrible scenes from the Third Reich while Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony" is playing and he is flipping out, pleading with the doctors to turn off the music because he adores Ludwig van Beethoven. I thought that was a very compelling scene when I was a child. [Laughs] Somehow, I related to that. To me, it explains modern society in a nutshell."
