Biography

Career

Patrick Duffy appears as Mark Harris on the cover of this 1970s novel based on the series Man from Atlantis.

In 1976, Duffy landed the role of Mark Harris in the short-lived television series Man from Atlantis, in which he employed his expertise in scuba diving to help develop the fishlike swimming style, consisting entirely of leg and body motion, which he employed in character. (This proved to be a difficult style that he found too exhausting to sustain for long periods.) Following the series' cancellation, he got his big break in the role of Robert "Bobby" Ewing on the TV series, Dallas, a role he played until 1991. Duffy parted amicably with the series in 1985, filming a death scene; with both the show and his career foundering, he returned in 1986 in an infamous shower scene that rendered the entire 1985–1986 season "just a dream." A 2004 reunion revealed that, as a teenager, series star Larry Hagman frequently visited Duffy's parents; both were oblivious to this fact until Duffy auditioned for the role. Perhaps not coincidentally, Duffy bonded strongly with Hagman throughout the show's run, despite being 18 years his junior. During this time, he continued to hold a variety of roles in various TV specials. Download high resolution version (509x827, 66 KB) This work is copyrighted. ...

At the end of Dallas's run in 1991, Duffy switched to another popular television role, as the head of the Lambert family alongside TV wife Suzanne Somers on the family sitcom, Step by Step, a role which ran until the show's cancellation in 1998. He also directed 49 installments, starting with "Boys Will Be Boys," which premiered on December 4th, 1992. During that time, he was also reunited with longtime best friend Larry Hagman in the Dallas reunion movies J.R. Returns and War of the Ewings, the latter of which he also co-produced, reprising the role of Robert "Bobby" Ewing. In an interview on the UK's Mrs. Merton chat show in the late 1990s, Duffy stated that he and Larry Hagman were planning one more Dallas TV movie, but as of early April of 2008, this project had failed to materialize; this was believed to be due to the disappointing ratings of the previous movie.
