It seems that ABC Family’s Greek has been well-received especially in its second season run. The ratings for the comeback show have definitely shown an improvement from its freshman season results.  A press release from ABC Family states that the show has indeed set a record in its season premiere, hitting a remarkable score with viewers aged 12-34 and females 12-34.  In fact, the show’s premiere episode climbed 78% in viewership, with series highs of 1.6 million total viewers, 1.2 of which were viewers aged 12-34.

Compared to its freshman debut in the summer of 2007, the show's sophomore premiere increased by three digits, with a 102 percent increase in the Adult viewership category, 134 percent increase in the Women's viewership category and 103 percent increase among viewers aged 12-34.  While the show is experiencing a major boost in ratings, one of its stars is also taking a major leap into film, in which he will share the screen with renowned actor Nicolas Cage.

Clark Duke, who plays Dale Kettlewell in Greek, is set to appear in an upcoming film entitled Kick Ass, which is an adaptation of a comic book written by Mark Millar, the scribe behind the hit film Wanted.  Also starring in the film is Chris Mintz-Plasse, who he appeared with on the movie Superbad.

"I’m leaving in a week or two to shoot ‘Kick-Ass,’" the young actor told Access Hollywood during the MTV VMAs.  "I just saw Chris [Mintz-Plasse]. It’s the first time I saw him since I closed the deal, so I’m pretty excited."

This isn’t the only film endeavor Duke is taking on, as he has other projects lined up for him.  In fact, he also appears on the teen comedy Sex Drive, which will be released on October 17, and A Thousand Words with Eddie Murphy, which is set to be released next spring.
