David Dukes Facts
Was Rob Reiner's first choice to play the adult "Gordy LaChance", the narrator of Stand by Me (1986), before being replaced by Richard Dreyfuss. In the first long shot of the adult Gordie, you can still see that it is Dukes, not Dreyfuss, sitting in the car. The story is about the character's first experiences with death. Ironically, Dukes died while appearing in another Stephen King adaptation.
He collapsed and died whilst in Washington to film "Rose Red" (2002).
After his death, a David Coleman Dukes Memorial Scholarship was established at the University of Southern California School of Theatre. It is presented yearly to "a junior B.A. or B.F.A. acting student who shows exemplary dedication to the craft of acting." There is also an annual invitational tennis tournament named in his memory.
