  • An avid movie-goer his entire life, Duncan accidentally completed a Film Studies Minor while getting an English degree by choosing one movie-related class every semester without realizing it.
  • After a comedy competition, he was once described by Johnny Hardwick (the voice of Dale Gribble) as "hipster nerd Brian Wilson," a compliment he has treasured ever since.
  • Not an actor by trade, he was once cast in a small part in the D&D-centric movie "Zero Charisma" in 2012 by some producers who spotted his friendly dork energy from afar.
