Patrick Troughton was born on 25 March 1920 in Mill Hill, England and he attended public school in North London. He would later attend the Embassy School of Acting at Swiss Cottage, under Eileen Thorndike. After his time at the Embassy School of Acting, he won a scholarship to the Leighton Rallius Studios at the John Drew Memorial Theatre on Long Island in New York, USA. When the Second World War broke out, he returned to Britain on a Belgian ship. The ship hit a mine and sank off the coast of Great Britain, but Patrick was fortunate enough to escape in a lifeboat. He joined the Tonbridge Repertory Company in 1939 and later he joined the Royal Navy in 1940. He attained the rank of captain of a motor gunboat on duty in the North Sea.

In 1945, after being demobbed, Patrick returned to the theatre. He worked with the Amersham Repertory Company, the Bristol Old Vic Company and the Pilgrim Players at the Mercury Theatre in Nottingham. He made his television debut in 1947. In 1948, he made his cinema debut with small roles in Hamlet and the TCF production "Escape" (one of the stars of which was William Hartnell). However, television was his favourite medium. In 1953 he became the first actor to play the famous folk hero Robin Hood on television, starring in six half-hour episodes broadcast from March 17 to April 21 on the BBC, and titled simply Robin Hood. His other notable film and television roles included Sir Andrew Ffoulkes in The Scarlet Pimpernel (1954), Phineas in Jason and the Argonauts (1963), Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop (1962), "Paul of Tarsus" (BBC 1960), title role, Dr. Finlay's Casebook (BBC 1962, semiregular)

In 1966, Doctor Who producer Innes Lloyd decided to replace William Hartnell in the series' lead role. The continued survival of the show depended on audiences accepting another actor in the role, especially given the bold decision that the replacement would not be a Hartnell lookalike or soundalike. Lloyd later stated that William Hartnell had approved of the choice, saying, "There's only one man in England who can take over, and that's Patrick Troughton".

Lloyd chose Patrick Troughton because of his extensive and versatile experience as a character actor. After he was cast, Patrick considered various ways to approach the role, to differentiate his portrayal from Hartnell's amiable-yet-tetchy patriarch. His early thoughts about how he might play the Doctor included a "tough sea captain" and a piratical figure in blackface and a turban. Doctor Who creator Sydney Newman suggested that the Doctor could be a "cosmic hobo" in the mould of Charlie Chaplin, and this was the interpretation eventually chosen.

During his time on the series, Patrick tended to shun publicity and rarely gave interviews. He told one interviewer, "I think acting is magic. If I tell you all about myself it will spoil it". Years later, he told another interviewer that his greatest concern was that too much publicity would limit his opportunities as a character actor after he left the role.

Patrick Troughton returned to Doctor Who in The Two Doctors (1985). He was popular with both the production team and his co-stars. Producer Lloyd credited him with a "leading actor's temperament. He was a father figure to the whole company and hence could embrace it and sweep it along with him." He also gained a reputation on set as a practical joker.

Regrettably, many of the early episodes in which Patrick Troughton appeared were wiped by the BBC

He found Doctor Who's schedule (at this time, 40 to 44 episodes per season) gruelling, and decided to leave the series in 1969, after three years in the role. This decision was also motivated in part by fear of typecasting.

He returned to Doctor Who three times after he originally left the programme. The first time was in The Three Doctors, a 1973 serial celebrating the programme's 10th anniversary. Ten years later, he overcame some reluctance to reprise his role and agreed to appear in the 20th anniversary special The Five Doctors at the request of series producer John Nathan-Turner. He also agreed to attend Doctor Who conventions around the world with Nathan-Turner. He enjoyed the return to the programme so much that he readily agreed to appear one more time as the Second Doctor with Colin Baker's Sixth Doctor in The Two Doctors (1985). Reportedly, he also advised a later Doctor actor, Peter Davison, to limit his time in the role to three seasons to avoid being typecast and the young actor followed that advice.

After he left Doctor Who in 1969, he appeared in various films and television roles. Film roles included Father Brennen in The Omen (1976) and Melanthius in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977). Television roles included the Duke of Norfolk in The Six Wives of Henry VIII (1969), a guest starring spot in the comedy series The Goodies in the episode "The Baddies", as well as episodes of The Persuaders, Jason King, I, Claudius, Survivors, Minder and Inspector Morse. He also portrayed Cole Hawlings in a BBC television dramatisation of the John Masefield children's book The Box of Delights (1984)

Patrick Troughton's health was never entirely robust and later in his life he refused to accept his doctor's diagnosis that he had developed a serious heart condition through overwork and stress. He suffered two major heart attacks in 1978 and 1984 which prevented him from working for several months. Following each of these attacks, his doctor's warnings were again ignored as he committed himself to a heavy TV and film schedule. He also continued to smoke heavily and declined to commit himself to any significant physical exercise despite his worsening health and his early death being predicted as an inevitable consequence by his doctors.

He featured in the 1974 11-part radio adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour. In 1986 he appeared in the Thames Television sitcom The Two of Us, also appearing in an episode of Supergran before his final television appearance in Knights of God.

On March 27, 1987, Patrick Troughton was a guest at the Magnum Opus Con II science fiction convention in Columbus, Georgia. Some attendees later said that he looked clearly unwell at the time, although he appeared to be in good spirits throughout the day's panels and was looking forward to a belated birthday celebration which was planned for the coming Saturday evening as well as a screening of the Doctor Who story The Dominators, which he had requested personally, on the Saturday afternoon.

He suffered a final, fatal, heart attack at 7:25 AM the next day (March 28, 1987) just after he had ordered his breakfast from the hotel staff. According to the paramedics who were called, he had died before he had fallen back onto his bed. He was 67 years old.

Two of Patrick Troughton's sons, David and Michael, are both well-known actors on stage and screen. Three of his grandsons are also making names for themselves. Jim Troughton plays professional cricket for Warwickshire; Sam Troughton is an up-and-coming actor, who appeared in Alien vs. Predator and the 2005 movie Spirit Trap with former Doctor Who star Billie Piper; and Harry Melling plays Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films. Another of Troughton's sons, Mark Troughton is the pastor of York Evangelical Church , and previously worked as a missionary in Switzerland.
