Got a little Duke in ya’? Well, we want to see it! Starting today Deep
Silver, Inc. and Apogee Software, LLC announced that due to popular
demand, their search for the next live-action Duke Nukem actor has
evolved from a three-city tour into a massive online audition open to
anyone willing to take on the challenge.
Fans can do just about whatever they want to demonstrate why they
should be the next Duke Nukem. Their performance will be judged by a
panel of Duke Experts, including some of Duke’s creators. The Experts
will combine all entries from all over the United States and will then
narrow it down to a lucky few. The judges will then make their decision
and the winner will be announced.
The winner will get to travel around the world representing Deep Silver
and Apogee Software, LLC as the new “official” Duke Nukem…and they’ll
get paid to do it! They will be the new face of the the Duke Nukem
Trilogy and get to interact with the world like no other iconic
videogame character ever has.
“We are opening the floodgates on the search for the next live-action
Duke Nukem. Before we were reaching out to the fans with a three-city
nationwide search, but due to the high demand we have chosen to expand
our search to allow every Duke fan a chance to submit their entry, said
Chad McNeil, marketing manager for Deep Silver, Inc. “We want to see
your best Duke Nukem, so get ready to kick ass and chew some bubblegum
because this is going to be one of the craziest promotions the
videogame industry has seen for a long time!”
For those who cannot upload their auditions online, but still wish to
participate in the Search for Duke will be allowed to submit their
entries by mail on a DVD, VHS tape or video file on USB drive (not
returnable) or burned to a CD-R.
Deep Silver and Apogee are calling on all Duke fans to step up and
compete to be The Next Duke Nukem. If you think that you have what it
takes, or know someone who does, head on over to www.dukeisback.com for

The Duke Nukem Trilogy is comprised of three episodes: Critical Mass™,
Chain Reaction™, and Proving Grounds™, and will be released
sequentially beginning in 2009 for Nintendo DS™ and PSP®
(PlayStation®Portable) system. More information is available at
