The Actor
Versatile young actor David Moscow brings a great sense of
empathy and a charismatic personality to the role of Duncan. "Duncan is
exactly like my little brother," laughs Moscow. "He just loves
people, but he has his own theories and lives in his own world.
He is very confident about these theories and this world of his,
which is his saving grace and also what makes him so funny."
Born November 14 and brought up in the Bronx, Moscow had his
first brush with show business when he and some friends
responded to a neighborhood casting call for the Jody Foster
feature "Five Corners." He wound up with an agent and made
his screen acting debut at the age of 11 in Penny Marshall's
comedy smash "Big," portraying the young Tom Hanks
character. His other feature credits include the Walt Disney
musical "Newsies," for which he spent six months taking singing
and dance lessons; and the independent drama "Hurricane
Streets," which won critical and audience acclaim at the 1997
Sundance Film Festival.
Moscow has also completed roles in several other upcoming
independent releases, among them "Loving Jezebel," "Girl,"
"Restaurant" and "River Red," opposite Tom Everett Scott.
For television, Moscow has guest-starred on episodes of
"Seinfeld" and "New York Undercover." His theater credits
include performing in the Broadway success "What's Wrong
with This Picture," and in the Manhattan Class Company
productions of "Flying Hormones," "On Ice," "Steel Town," and
"Skaters."
The native New Yorker spends his intermittent free time studying
for a B.A. degree in English literature from Columbia University.
He loves to play football and basketball, travel, read, go to the
movies, and spend time in the wilderness. He currently lives in
Los Angeles.
The Character
Duncan Milch deserves a big sympathetic
sigh -- he's the cuddly, insecure teenager
in all of us. Duncan has actually got
everything all figured out; it's just a matter
of time and maturity before the rest of the
world comes around to how great he really
is.
"The whole world is crazy, he's the only
one who's sane," says David
He feels for this lactose-intolerant
teenager, gym-shoe type of guy who's got a thing against call-waiting. He may be
the "lost puppy" among his friends, but when push comes to shove, the gang will
stick up for him.
The main topic for this New York boy is the opposite sex. Just how do you attract
the females? Could it be what you wear? He's bewildered by the whole thing and
looks up to his buddy, Jack, who seems to have all the answers (wrong though
they may be). Maybe it's the shoes, Duncan. Try the shoes.
