Education and career

[edit]

Duell attended Mountainside Middle School and Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he played football and participated in the theater program. He dropped out before what would have been his senior year to pursue an acting career.

After dropping out he moved to Los Angeles where he landed a minor role on Disney's hit sitcom, The Suite Life on Deck. Duell also booked a minor role on another Disney series, The Wizards of Waverly Place. In March 2010, it was announced he would replace Drew Garrett in the role of Michael Corinthos on General Hospital.[2] In 2017, it was announced Duell would appear in the third season of the Amazon Prime series The Bay in the role of Adam Kenway.[3] In November 2024, he announced his exit from General Hospital.[4]

Personal life

[edit]

Duell proposed to his girlfriend of nine months, Taylor Novack, at Disney World in August 2011.[5] The couple married in a private ceremony on September 15, 2012.[6] The marriage was annulled in late 2012, with Duell saying that it had been too soon.[7] Duell dated fellow actress Courtney Hope, and the two were engaged on Valentine's Day 2021 after five years of dating. The couple got married on October 23, 2021,[8] and split less than two months later.[9] In January 2022, Duell revealed neither he nor Hope had "signed anything" and stated they were not "married or anything."[10] In 2022, he began dating Luana Lucci.
