In 1999 Duffy headed down to Los Angeles to find fame and fortune and mostly worked in episodic television. Highlights include hanging out with Martin Sheen all day in the Oval Office when he appeared on THE WEST WING; witnessing those incredibly drawn out Soap Opera takes they do before cutting to commercial when he was on GENERAL HOSPITAL and having a cheesy polaroid taken with Vern Troyer (Mini-Me) while appearing on SHASTA MCNASTY. Being fondled by Noah Wylie while appearing on E.R. also ranks right up there. Other television appearances include PROVIDENCE, FAMILY LAW, THE JERSEY, and NOWHERE MAN.
