Dallas actor Patrick Duffy doesn't grace the small screen anymore, but he does frequent a lot of supermarkets!
The star ditched fame and fortune for a very different life alongside his girlfriend Linda Purl.
Here's what the '80s heartthrob is up to today.
His resume now includes being the CEO of a bread business, fittingly called Duffy's Dough. He and Linda work in supermarkets as a partner with Kroger to sell their line of artisan sourdough breads and starter kits made from his 70-year-old family starter.
How Patrick and Linda are giving back to the community
Not only that, but 100% of the profits go to hunger relief and local charities..
When they expanded from their starter kits to being sold in supermarkets such as Kroger, the pair expressed their excitement on social media by writing: "From our garage to this. Thank you to each and every one of you for supporting us along this journey, and to Kroger for helping us reach so many more of you!"

Patrick's early life and tie to the business

Once they arrived, a friendly neighbor gifted the family a sourdough starter. The generous tradition originated from the Alaska Gold Rush miners. The actor shared just how deeply personal his new business venture is when he wrote: "We've spent our lives telling stories through characters, through performances, and now, through something as simple and meaningful as sharing a loaf of bread. Duffy's Dough is part of our home and our history, and we're so glad to share it with you."

Patrick and Linda started dating during the COVID-19 pandemic and it was during that unprecedented time, they made sourdough breads for their friends, and they kept requesting more, which inspired the pair to think bigger.

He also co-starred alongside Suzanne Somers as Frank Lambert in the hit sitcom Step by Step. He acted in and directed 49 of the show's 160 episodes which secured him a pretty sum.
In addition, Patrick has owned The Duffy Ranch, a 390-acre property stretching along the Rogue River outside Medford, Oregon, for three decades.
