JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Nighttime soap Dallas ran through the late 70s all the way to 1991.

It's back now, on power house network TNT.

We thought about grabbing Jim Davis for a chat. But instead, we sat down with Patrick Duffy. No, you're not dreaming.

"I'm Patrick Duffy."

That's right. He's a 22-year-old electrical engineering student at UNF.
    
"What's life been like since Dallas? Uh Dallas? Good ... Google still recognizes me," Duffy says.

So, no ... He's not the rugged, but very clean actor
      
"I was born in 1989," Duffy said. "I think i've seen a re-run once"

But that doesn't mean he can't cash in like Duffy on a daily basis.

"I was running late for a Southwest Airlines flight and the pilots held the plane because they saw that Patrick Duffy was on the wait list and I was like six at the time."

But ever since Diagnosis Murder went of the air in 1998, the actor Patrick's name has lost a little power...

"Professors say my name and ask if we're related. I say 'no ma'am.'"

But now Duffy is back in business. A dream come true.
