Just great. A professional that will "guide" you to professionalism if you don't know how to get there. I recommend for anyone not only actors. Duke has a unique abilility to get you to pull MORE out of yourself, Reach...He is a good life teacher. KEEP HIM He is a gift!

Comment:

``Duke uses derogatory terms and has anger management issues.'' Maybe so, but if you think the real world doesn't you're SADLY mistaken. Duke is like a live-virus vaccine to the real world of acting. ``He can take anybody apart, and rebuild them into decent, humble people.'' His unique `Cal Football Coach' approach WILL get you real work later.

Duke is hilarious! everything he says is fantastic and it gets burnt into your memory. He'll tear you apart in the critique but it's for your own good and in the end it's all fun and games. If you want to be an actor, I highly recommend him. His class is very memorable. A huge highlight for PCC.

Comment:

Duke is fun and helpful, you just need to know his secret langage. READ UTA HAGEN! She's a bit self-indulgent, but he references it every class and expects you to know her. Also READ AUDITION. He does the same thing with that book. Don't fart around and you'll have a great time

My first time taking him and he made me laugh till I almost died. I enjoyed having him as a professor and thought he does very well at his job. I would definitely take him again if I could.

DUKE!! I swear he is the funniest teacher I've had at PCC. He's an actor himself, so he knows what to look for and can really help you.

Difficult, but for your own good. Kid, he wants you to do well, like a good father. He is a must for most advanced theatre classes i.e. (thart 2c).

Awesome acting coach! He is honest and sometimes the truth hurts, but he wants you to succeed. Don't take this class if you want an easy A, he is a brilliant teacher!

Comment:

Thinks he is the**** because he was in top gun, but probably one of the most bitter sexually harassing teachers on the campus. He had the students teaching the class and admitted the first day that he doesn't give A's, "unless you are a girl who is willing to let him grope you."

Lots of work to do in this class. Not an "easy A" if that is what you want. He is moody and you never know when he will snap. Can be great if he likes you.

If you think theatre is an easy class dont take it, because you'll end up like the idiots writing bad remarks about him.If you let your guard down he can really help you. at times he can be harsh but not as harsh as the real world. great class, great guy! idiotic ratings!

Comment:

Angry, bitter man who enjoys seeing innocent students cry. It makes him feel important.He does not realize that he is a TEACHER AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!! If he is so great, why is his "greatest role" barely a miniscule supporting one? Who looks past Tom Cruise in Top Gun anyway to notice him???

Don't take his class if you're not serious about acting or respectful of the theater. He's a tough director but he's really good at what he does. He'll make you learn.

Comment:

I won a part in his play in fall of '02 but TURNED IT DOWN because he is such an ass. Duke uses derogatory terms and has anger management issues. His only redeeming quality is that he can stand up to any prima actor/actress and take them apart, rebuild them into decent, humble people.

It's unfortunate that students who take his class don't know any better and think that he is great when in reality he is a charlatan.
