Pat Close as Noah Fergus in The Queue.
Pat Close as Noah Fergus. He was Vince's son. [Peter Whitney]
Pat began his career at the age of 11 when he was discovered while
appearing in a stage production of Auntie Mame in Hollywood.
He made his film debut as a young Elliot Roosevelt in 1960 in the
biographical film Sunrise at Campobello. For the remainder of
the decade, he guest starred on various television series such as
The Tab Hunter Show ― General Electric Theater
― The Twilight Zone
― The Tab Hunter Show ― Dennis the Menace ― The Tom Ewell Show ―
Make Room for Daddy ― The Donna Reed Show.
Close continued his acting career in his late teenage years from
1967 to 1970 as one of Andy Warhol's film stars. He played the lead
role of The Son in the 1967 Warhol film Imitation of Christ.
There was speculation at the time that Close would have become a new
James Dean if Warhol had released the film into general distribution
instead of allowing only a single premiere presentation. He
continued to work with Warhol after 1970, not as an actor in
Warhol's films, but as a contributor to such projects as Andy
Warhol's Interview magazine.
