Patrick Duffy Biography (Actor)

Birthday: March 17, 1949 (Pisces)

Born In: Townsend, Montana

Advanced Search Patrick Duffy is an American actor best known for his portrayal of Bobby Ewing in the hit TV series ‘Dallas’. His character was the youngest son of Miss Ellie and the good brother to the notorious J.R. Ewing. He reprised his role in numerous seasons and reboots of the show. However, Duffy did quit the show after growing bored of playing a positive character for long. But soon after his departure, the show saw a huge decline in ratings which prompted the producers to bring him back on the show. He returned to ‘Dallas’ in the following year and his character was brought to life by calling his demise just a dream. This twist did not go down well with the audience. Nonetheless, the show carried on successfully for eleven seasons. Apart from ‘Dallas’, Duffy is also known for his popular sitcom ‘Step by Step’ in which he plays the role of Frank Lambert, a single parent to three children. Fans of daytime soap opera ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ know Duffy as Stephen Logan, the character he played from 2006-2011. Duffy was last seen in the TV movie, ‘The Christmas Cure’, in which he played the role of the retired doctor, Bruce Turner.
