Known for his roles villains, Robert Patrick showed off a different side on a recent visit to Tasmania.

One of his destinations was Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary — which included patting a wallaby that was waiting patiently for some treats.

The 65-year-old took to Instagram to share the experience in a post that included him holding a snugly wombat.

“AMAZING!!! Such a beautiful experience, thank you bonorong and thank you Tasmania!!” his post said.

Bonorong also shared the encounter on their social media platforms, with the American actor snapped alongside sanctuary owner Greg Irons.

“Robert was excited to meet some Tasmanian wildlife — particularly the Tasmanian devils — and it was wonderful to host him at the Sanctuary,” they said in the post.

He is well known for his villainous role as the fully autonomous robot T1000 in the action-packed film Terminator 2: Judgement Day, starring alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong.

Mr Patrick was part of a star-studded line up in Australia at the pop culture convention Supanova held in Sydney earlier this month.
