Pete Duel: In His Own Words

On Playing Casey Poe (The Psychiatrist)
There have been two roles that have been close to portions of my personality. Never the whole guy. But you zero in on those facets you recognize. On The Psychiatrist, I played an ex-junkie named Casey Poe, who was very clear to me. He was a loner. There was much about life he didn’t understand. He had a lot of hostility, felt himself misunderstood, the victim of circumstances. I could identify with that, with Casey’s fears — the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of other human beings we all have to a greater or lesser degree. He was my age and spoke the way I’d speak, and I was able to get right into it. I wore my own beard and my own clothes, no makeup, nothing to distract me. I would just drive to work, get out of my car, walk onto the stage and start shooting. Another thing that helped was that I had read Louis Lablanky’s book, Synanon, The Tunnel Back, and for the first time really understood that junkies were human beings. I hadn’t been prejudiced, but that book made me understand that all human beings are basically alike, have similar problems and simply take different ways out. When it came time to play Casey Poe, it was a snap. 1971

On Playing Dramatic Roles
It’s easier with my personality to perform the heavy, intense role. I can feel it working up in my stomach and then I just open the door. Comedy takes more effort to get the juices going. 1971

On the Changes He Saw Happening to Penfield
When I was kid, it was a real country town with fields and woods to play in. It was a great place to grow up in. Then they started building subdivisions. At that time there was very little interest in preserving the environment, probably because people felt that things had to change and that opposing change was opposing progress. 1971
