He isn’t the only child of his parents, since he has an elder brother named Sean Norfleet, who is a film studies major at Emerson College.

When it comes to speaking about his educational background, Duke completed his education at Wildwood School, a private school located in West Los Angeles.

Career Beginnings

Despite Duke’s current involvement in acting, he’s never been so much interested in that since he always wanted to pursue a career in directing. He once revealed that he directed one short film in high school, entitled “The Happy Fisherman”, but never showed it to anyone. His life took a significant turn after a friend introduced him to Grant Singer, a music video director. This connection led to Duke being cast in the music videos for The Dandy Warhols’ “Cather In The Rye” in 2016 and Slowdive’s “Don’t Know Why” in 2017. He then got a chance to work on the 2018 short film “The Great American Mud Wrestle”, which was directed by Hunter Ray Barker.

Rise to Prominence

Duke came to prominence in 2019 when he made his acting film debut with the role of Danny/Tony in the mystery-thriller “Us”, written and directed by Oscar-winning director Jordan Peele, and sharing the screen with such notable actors as Lupita Nyong’o, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker and Winston Duke. The film follows the story of a family on vacation who finds themselves under attack by their doppelgängers. It premiered at the 2019 South by Southwest Film Festival, receiving widespread critical acclaim for its originality and the performance of the cast. The film was also a commercial success, grossing over $256 million worldwide against its modest budget of $20 million.

Duke’s next major project came later that year when his friend Lana Del Rey invited him to pose with her on the cover of her Grammy-nominated studio album, entitled “Norman Fucking Rockwell!” He also made a cameo appearance in the music video for the same song.

Besides his acting endeavors, Duke also tried himself as a model, since he modeled for Louis Vuitton during the same year.

Continued Success

Duke’s performance in “Us” was highly appreciated since he received more invitations for other film roles. In 2021, he got a chance to portray Derrick Millebran in the thriller drama “Crisis”. The film, written, produced and directed by Nicholas Jarecki, featured an ensemble cast including Gary Oldman, one of the highest-grossing actors of all time, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, and Armie Hammer, to name a few. It was followed by his performance as Sydney in Bernard Rose’s drama film “Traveling Light”, also in 2021. Unfortunately, the film failed to receive favorable reviews. The following year, he secured the small role of a pizza delivery boy in the horror thriller film “Alone At Night”, alongside actors Ashley Benson, Sky Ferreira and Jon Foster.
