Patrick was discovered in San Francisco by a talent scout for the Eileen Ford Modeling Agency, and at the age of 13 she was the first teenage full time model. She moved to New York City shortly thereafter and her career as a runway and catalog model began. At 18, she left the world of modeling and enrolled at Boise State University where she earned an AAS degree in nursing and a BS in Microbiology. She then transferred to University of California, Santa Barbara, where for financial reasons she began modeling again.

In the late-1990s, Patrick transitioned to appearing in nude and soft-core features. In 2000, she made the transition to hard-core porn in Andrew Blake’s Aroused. She also appeared in bondage and foot fetish films around that same time under the name Brooke Thomas. Since that time, she has become one of the most popular and recognized porn stars in the world. She has appeared in Playboy and Penthouse, where she was the “Pet of the Month” for February 2000 and was selected as “Pet of the Year” runner-up, and has appeared in more than 70 adult features. Patrick is noted for her sultry voice and her aroused and enthusiastic portrayals of sex. Because of this, she has won several awards from the adult-movie business organizations. Today, she hosts the popular webcast The Tera Patrick Show and she is active in the adult film community, raising money for both the Free Speech Coalition and A.I.M Healthcare.

In an interview with the Adult Film Database in February of 2007, Patrick stated she will only continue to work in front of the camera for two more years, but plans on releasing her starring adult titles over the next decade. The March 2007 DVD release, ‘inTERActive’ set the record as the fastest selling Hustler release ever.

Patrick has been a frequent and favorite guest of Howard Stern on his TV and radio programs and the Adam Corolla radio show. She was featured on the cover of the July 2006 edition of the more mainstream FHM, revealing candid details in an interview inside. Patrick, who had been named one of FHM’s 100 sexiest women, was the first porn star to appear on the cover. Tera also appeared, as herself, in episode 63 of the cartoon series Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which first aired November 19, 2006.

Patrick was made into a playable character in the video game Backyard Wrestling 2.

Patrick was also in the music video for “I Can’t Move” by American singer and rapper Everlast.

Patrick is also currently a “special producer,” as well as a guest character, for the video game Saints Row 2.
