[/b][/i][/center]history ,
Duke was born on a warm, June day twenty-six years ago. His parents, Jack and Amelia were high school sweethearts and had gotten married two weeks after graduating from high school. Married for less than a year, they soon found themselves expecting their first child. When Duke was about a year old, Jack decided that going back to school would be his best option and he could provide better for his wife and new baby boy, though both Jack and Amelia came from old family money, so fortunately, no one ever went hungry. About three years later, a second child, a boy named Ricky, was born. Four years later, a girl named Sophia arrived, making the Walker family complete.
Growing up, Duke was always friendly, funny and loud. His first grade teacher was the one who thought that a school play would be the perfect thing to calm young Duke Walker down. Getting the part role of Peter Pan in the school's play of Peter Pan, Duke found what he would do for the rest of his life. Over the years, he acted in school plays, commericals and television shows in and near New Cove. His sister, Sophia, also seemed to follow in his footsteps while Ricky seemed to be more interested in things that pertained to the writing and directing.
As he grew, he found himself getting a repuation of a "bad boy", simply because news leaked that he was dating his much older co-star on one of the television shows he was shooting at the time. Duke was seventeen at the time, his co-star ex-girlfriend was nearly thirty. Talk also spread that he liked to drink and party, though he was always on time for work and he would know his lines. He always kept his personal life, well, personal. He also found that Hollywood called when he was about twenty-one. Managing to get several small, but well-received roles in several hit movies, he stayed in Hollywood for several years.
Then, a when a book about life in New Cove hit, a show was soon in the works. He moved back to New Cove after spending nearly five years in Hollywood. Orignially, he had tried out for the part that would eventually go to his co-star, Jack Carson. He also began to date his on-screen girlfriend as well. Though he's glad for the regular work and glad to be back in his hometown with his family and friends, he does hope that he won't be forever typecast as a teenage-college bad boy.
personality ,
To unknown strangers or even those who do know him but perhaps do not like Duke, he can seem cocky and overly confident. He knows that he does this and he tries to not let this rather unpleasant side of his personality, come out very often. He does enjoy the spotlight and likes the attention he gets from fans or from anyone who will give it to him, actually. He can be confident, cocky at times, hot-headed, stubborn and even a bit rude at times. Though he tries not to make the negative parts of his personality the only thing people see in him.
Duke can be very overprotective and he can get jealous quite easily. His younger siblings are his life and he wants nothing more than for them to be happy healthy. Part of the reason why he decided to audition for Behind the Line was because he knew it would be a success and the money he would receive from it would allow him to provide for his younger siblings. He can act like a parent at times, but he can also act like a five year old, as well. Duke is loyal, funny, charming, friendly and bright.
Lastly, Duke can be cautious and stubborn. Once his mind is made up, it's very hard to change it. However, he's more of an attention-seeker, loud mouth but friendly kind of guy. Or at least, that's what most people know him for. Behind the scenes he likes to think things through before even considering something else.

sample , Cam had been blissfully unaware of anyone else besides himself until he heard what he knew to be the flash of camera lights and the buzzard-like swoops of questions at some poor girl named Naomi. Even though Cam had been in Hollywood for almost two years, and he had just signed with Elite a few months ago, he was thankful, and a little disappointed he had to admit, that the paparazzi didn't care enough about him to flash there cameras in his face. One day ... he thought, turning around to see a girl he knew to be Naomi Benson. He had done a few shoots with her, but he highly doubted that she remembered him. After all, she seemed to have plenty of male admirers at the shoot.
Admist his daydreaming, he was suddenly shocked back into reality as he watched her fall flat on her behind. The paparazzi were swooping in on her, no doubt knowing that the pictures would bring them in so much money. Cam didn't move for a few seconds, but simply watched her, as if the world had suddenly switched into slow motion. Then, getting up, he walked closer to her and extended his hand to her, as a signed of a friendly gesture to help her up. Suddenly he could see the headlines for tomorrow's gossip magazines: "Naomi has a new mystery man: is it love or lust?" He knew that the headline would be something ridiculously absurd like that.
"I suppose you and I will be a couple by tomorrow." Cam whispered in her ear quietly as he moved in closer to help her up; his thick Australian accent making its way into the conversation. He didn't know how Naomi would take his joke, which was all it had meant to have been: a joke. He smiled, hoping that she would see that it had only been a joke. Then, out of nowhere, questions came flying at Naomi; all about him. Did she know him? ... What was his name? ... He looked familiar ... How long had they been dating ... Everything was a blur to him.
