Giannini's best-known starring roles have been in films directed by Lina Wertmuller: in addition to Swept Away and Seven Beauties, he also appeared in The Seduction of Mimi, Love and Anarchy, A Night Full of Rain, and Francesca e Nunziata. A role which ran until the show's cancellation in 1998. His fluency in English has brought him a number of featured roles in Hollywood productions, most notably as inspector Pazzi in Hannibal. By the end of Dallas' run in 1991, Duffy switched to another popular television role, as the head of the Lambert family (alongside TV wife Suzanne Somers) on the family sitcom, Step by Step.

He appeared in supporting roles in Anzio and The Secret of Santa Vittoria, and starred in the original version of Swept Away. During this time, he continued to hold a variety of roles in various TV specials. Born in La Spezia, Italy, Giannini studied at the Academia Nazionale in Rome, and made his film debut in a small part in Fango sulla metropolis in 1965. Two years later, he got his big break in the role of Bobby Ewing on the TV series, Dallas, a role he played until 1991 (except for his notorious one-year absence from 1985 to 1986 that culminated in the surprise season finale where Duffy mysteriously reappeared in his wife's shower).
