He made his very first role as a Waiter in the 1996 mystery & suspense film Dr.
He admitted that he preferred when his two-year-old daughter watched the Steve episodes. Several years later, Patton said he had not yet grasped the enormity of replacing Burns, even after he became a parent and witnessed the show's effect on his own children. Patton remained on the show until 2006, and also appeared in its spin-off, Blue's Room, which premiered in 2004. He called the show's crew "a real fun little family" and a "well-oiled machine" by the time he joined the show. Patton liked working on Blue's Clues because, as he stated, "I got to go be a kid for twelve hours a day". Angela Santomero, another producer and creator, stated that Patton's characterization as Joe brought him closer to the preschool viewer as Joe was more willing to "jump into a problem rather than figure it out first like Steve". Beginning in September 2000, Burns trained Patton to take over the host spot and advised him not to "think of as children's TV", but rather as "acting and telling the truth".Īccording to Traci Paige Johnson, one of the producers and creators of Blue's Clues, Patton's character was more like a preschooler and more innocent than Steve. I haven't seen the tape, but I know somewhere it still exists". There's a tape out there, somewhere, with both Steve Burns and myself doing a Blue's Clues scene both as Christopher Walken, which we did at the screen test. He said, "I am convinced that I got that part because of a Christopher Walken impression I sometimes do. He had never seen the show before his audition, but like Burns was the favorite with preschool test audiences. Patton was selected out of 1,500 auditions. He was subjected to "the same kind of scrutiny" as Burns, who was involved in Patton's selection and helped train him, to earn the role. Patton became a "household name" and has been called "an unqualified star to the 5-and-under set and their parents". He was up for a part in Blair Witch Project 2 at the time, but considered the role as Joe "a happy accident". Patton's "big break" came in 2002, when he was cast to replace Steve Burns as Joe, the second host of the Nickelodeon children's television program Blue's Clues. His first acting roles were in Shakespeare plays such as Much Ado About Nothing and Romeo and Juliet.
