Trivia
- His childhood toy is Cubby the Cop, but has seemed to never let go of it.
- He usually carries 27 pairs of handcuffs with him.
- According to writers, Duke is in his late 20s.
- His Christmas wish last year is:
"Dear Santa, for Christmas. Please, I want a new toy badge, Cubby the Cop mega action dental floss and super secret wish I'll never tell anyone else about for the rest of my life; I want a real partner just like Cubby the Cop to share all my adventures with." [5]
- He mispronounces "Happy Holidays" as "Hoppy Halidays".[6] And he says "Yee-Hee," “Yee-Hay,” and “Yee-Hoo,” instead of "Yee-Haw" in Dirty Duke, despite Snake Rattler’s attempts to correct him.
- It appears that he began to think of R. E. Fendrich as a crime boss in "Arrest Ye Merry Gentleman" after he heard him and his criminal gang talking while he was at Mary Sinclair's Christmas party.
- In the sets, Duke is most commonly seen with long sleeves rather than short sleeves and pockets in the show. This appeals to all the sets he appears in currently except 60271 Main Square.
- However in the same set he still lacks pockets.
- He lives alone with Cubby in his apartment.
- He has been working as a cop for 8 years.[7]
- He was Joaquin "The Ornithologist" Lopez's groomsman.
- He considers one of his work uniforms as pajamas.[8]
- What he calls “out-Duking” is most likely an indirect synonym to outshining, both meaning someone being much better than another.
