At the Glasgow Citizens Theatre, Paterson made his stage debut in 1967 with Leonard Rossiter in Bertolt Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui. Paterson became a member of the Citizens’ Theatre for Youth in 1970.

Up until 1972, when he went to perform with Billy Connolly in The Great Northern Welly Boot Show at the Edinburgh Festival, he stayed there as an actor and assistant director. Later on, when Paterson appeared in Connolly’s play An Me Wi’ a Bad Leg Tae, they would collaborate once again.

Paterson spent a large portion of the 1970s traveling the UK and Europe with John McGrath’s theater group, 7:84, performing pieces including The Cheviot, the Stag, and the Black Black Oil.

Rather than the theater, Paterson’s career started to focus more on television. His first roles were as King James in the UK television series Will Shakespeare the same year as the BAFTA-winning drama Licking Hitler.

In the 1981 BBC production of The Cherry Orchard, he played Lopakhin.
