TV star Duffy cast in his first studio feature

LOS ANGELES – Patrick Duffy, who starred in the long-running primetime soap "Dallas," is making his studio feature debut in the comedy "You Again."

Jimmy Wolk also has come aboard the Disney feature, which is being directed by Andy Fickman.

The actors join Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and Odette Yustman, among others, in a story that centers on a woman (Bell) who finds out that her brother is planning to marry the girl (Yustman) who made her high school years a living hell. She tries to convince him that his fiancee is not the nice girl she pretends to be.

Duffy will play a former high school crush of both Weaver and Curtis.

Despite gaining huge recognition in television thanks to his starring role in "Dallas," which aired from 1978 to 1991, Duffy never made the transition to movies. (One reason was that series at the time had much longer seasons, leaving less time for actors to take on film projects.) He starred in several TV movies, toplined the sitcom "Step by Step" with Suzanne Somers in the 1990s and recently has appeared in daytime serial "The Bold and the Beautiful."

Wolk is playing the brother about to get married. He has appeared in CBS/Hallmark Hall of Fame's "Front of the Class" and the Disney/ABC pilot "Solving Charlie."
