After his release from prison, Duress penned a diary about his experiences in jail on the advice of the Safdie brothers. The "Los Angeles Times" reported that the Safdie brothers then incorporated his stories into their script for "Good Time." This was followed by more roles for Duress in various feature films and shorts, including "86'd," "Person to Person," "The Mountain," "Funny Pages," and "The Great Darkened Days." Despite his professional success, the actor continually struggled with personal issues. There were further arrests for identity theft, grand larceny, and heroin possession. His addiction ultimately proved to be his downfall.
Colleagues and Companions Shocked over the Premature Death
"Buddy was like pure electricity on screen. Working with him was one of the greatest adventures of my life. He was a lovable person who loved making films. Despite all his personal problems, he somehow managed to put them aside at work," said "Flinch" director Cameron Van Hoy to "People." "What happened is a tragic and frustrating loss of great talent," lamented director Jay Karales in a conversation with "People." His feature film "Mass State Lottery" with Duress is set to be released later this year. "He lived like a cowboy, and the burden of that life shaped his skills and achievements in a way that made him irreplaceable as an actor." Buddy Duress is survived by his mother Jo-Anne and his younger brother Christopher.
