Which has given him a new appreciation for Kirk.
“I think there’s a world where if we don’t get to do any more episodes or do any more films, which I think we will, but don’t have any information on that, what could be really fun is if somebody financed a real full-length Kirk feature film. Like ‘A Film by Kirk,’” mused Patterson. “I think there’s a world where that could live and thrive and be number one at the box office, ‘A Film by Kirk.’”
When it comes to Luke, the “Sullivan’s Crossing” star confessed. “I’m not as tight as him. I like to hang out and laugh, and joke around. I’m probably more like Lorelai than I am Luke.”
But Patterson knew he was always meant to play the kindhearted resident.

“When I read the pilot, I thought, ‘Yeah, that’s not gonna be hard.’ It felt like it was written for me,” he said. “When you feel like you don’t want anybody else to play the character, ’cause you know you can nail that, then you should probably do that role.”
And Patterson is hopeful that followers will get to experience the attraction of Stars Hollow as soon as more.
“I’d love to do a Christmas special,” he solely told The Post earlier this week.

If “Gilmore Girls” did come again for a Christmas particular, Patterson is hopeful that Luke and Lorelai would still be together.
