Patrick Swayze Talks "The Beast" and Cancer
Check out the latest trailer for Patrick Swayze’s new series, The Beast, and read about his upcoming interview that airs tomorrow, in which he reveals what it’s been like to start a new series and fight cancer.
Dirty Dancing and FBI Drama star Patrick Swayze says in a Barbara Walters’ interview set to air on Wednesday that he may only have 2 years to live. According to Reuters, this is his first interview since being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last year.
Swayze has a strong and realistic outlook about his chances for survival, but also says in so many words that he’s not giving up without a fight. He also mentions that he plans to stay around until there is a cure.
January 15 is the series premiere date for his new A&E show, The Beast, in which he portrays an unorthodox yet hard-nosed FBI veteran with a past. His character is tasked with taking on a rookie partner who must learn the hard way that life as an undercover FBI agent is not all it would seem. What’s most intriguing is Swayze’s character as his mentor, and what makes him so edgy. We still wonder why the series is called The Beast. Whatever the reason, we know that Swayze will portray the character with all the heart and soul he’s known for bringing to all his acting projects.
