Will grew up in his hometown, but on a farm which his parents ran as a foster home for teenagers, and has three younger siblings. His father is Bill Patton, who served as Lutheran minister and a chaplain at Duke University, but was a playwright and an acting/directing instructor, which no doubt gave Will the idea of becoming an actor.
