Patrick Duffy Career

Career

Duffy appeared in a Taco Bell commercial in the early 1970s as an employee describing an Enchirito. He earned the role of Mark Harris in the short-lived television series Man from Atlantis in 1977. He got his big break in the role of Bobby Ewing, opposite Barbara Bel Geddes and Larry Hagman, in Dallas' prime-time soap opera Dallas, following the series' cancellation in early 1978. The show became a worldwide hit. Despite the series's popularity, Duffy decided to leave the series in 1985 after his character was killed off-screen. However, with both the show and his career on decline, he returned in 1986 in the infamous shower scene that made the entire 1985-1986 season "just a dream." Duffy remained with the show until its cancellation in 1991. He appeared in numerous episodes of Knots Landing, a spin-off series released in 1979 and 1982. During the 13-year run of Dallas, Duffy produced several episodes of the series. Duffy has tried his hand at singing, and he's also performed in Europe, with "Together We're Strong," a duet with French female singer Mireille Mathieu, a hit in 1983. The single reached No. 10. In April 1983, there were 5 in the Netherlands.

Frank Lambert appeared on the family sitcom Step by Step in 1991, where he co-starred Suzanne Somers. The series lasted until 1998, and Duffy produced numerous episodes. He appeared in two Dallas reunion television films in the 1990s; J.R. Returns (1996) and War of the Ewings (1998), both of which he co-produced. He has appeared on and off with several of his Dallas co-stars, most notably for the non-fiction television special Dallas Reunion in 2004. Duffy later performed in the occasional guest or voice acting appearance, including the series Family Guy (in which they spoofed Victoria Principal as they spoofed the Dallas shower scene), Justice League, and Touched by an Angel. In Love With the Girl Next Door and Desolation Canyon, Duffy appeared in the television series Falling. Stephen Logan, a daytime soap opera, began in 2006 as Stephen Logan. He appeared on GSN from April to July 2008, a partially interactive game show.

Bobby Ewing appeared in TNT's sequel to Dallas, starring Duffy. The series aired from 2012 to 2014.

In the experimental documentary Hotel Dallas, directed by artist duo Ungur & Huang, Duffy played a bizarre double of Bobby Ewing. At the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival, the film premiered.

Barbara Bel Geddes died of lung cancer on August 8, 2005. When Duffy was a child, he had met Bel Geddes via his future father-in-law. He said: he was notified of his television mother's death at the time of his television mother's death.

At the revival of Dallas, the narrator said: "Barbara is a central piece of our history, and it's important to me to honor her." To see Linda Gray and Larry Hagman in his J.R. hat and then see the word Ellie Southworth Ewing Farlow on the gravestone made me think,'s right, she's gone.' "I don't believe an episode goes by without Mama being mentioned in connection with Southfork and the land." The actor said about the revived series, without Bel Geddes as one of the stars.
