Shades of GLEE? Chad Duell participated in both football and drama in high school but told www.crushable.com that, “High school was horrible for me,” because he was mocked by schoolmates for his interest in theater. He relocated to Los Angeles after graduation to pursue his dream and in short order, landed a manager, an agent and his first job on SUITE LIFE. In 2010, GH fans were stunned when, after a year in the role, Drew Garrett (ex-Michael) was dropped and Duell stepped in. Show execs stated that a decision had been made to, “Take the role in another direction.” Though he came into the middle of a major story at the time, after a “rough few days,” Duell found his rhythm and is happy to call GH home.
