Best Known For:
Playing Bobby Ewing in Dallas.
Early-life:
Patrick George Duffy was born on March 17, 1949, in Townsend, Montana. He has an older sister. Their parents were bar owners Terence and Marie, who were murdered on the premises by armed robbers in 1986. After leaving high school, Patrick gained a degree in drama from the University of Washington. He ruptured his vocal cords during his final year, so he taught mime and movement to make ends meet.
Career:
Duffy's big break came in 1976 when he landed the title role in adventure series Man from Atlantis. It was axed in 1978, the same year he began playing Bobby Ewing in Dallas. The glossy soap became a worldwide hit and made him a household name. Nevertheless, he quit in 1985, only to return a year later in the notorious 'shower scene', which revealed that the entire previous season had been Bobby's wife Pam's bad dream. Dallas ended in 1991, although he's appeared in several spin-off TV movies and the current revamp. Duffy's other projects include sitcom Step by Step, soap The Bold and the Beautiful, and game show Bingo America. He reprised his role as Bobby Ewing in the revived version of Dallas between 2012 and 2014. More recently, he has starred in the Swedish sitcom Welcome to Sweden.
Quote:
"I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big waves, but there's constant activity, and that's the way I prefer to live my life."
Trivia:
He enjoys playing golf. Man from Atlantis was the first American TV series shown in China.
