R.I.P. Actor Michael Clarke Duncan

up
54

Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan died at age 54. Best known for his role as a convict with the power to heal in The Green Mile (for which he got his Oscar nod), Duncan was known as a "gentle giant" but often played thuggish roles due to his large size and deep voice.

Duncan was often seen in genre and comic book films, such as Sin City, The Scorpion King, Daredevil, and Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.

Back in July, Duncan was hospitalized after a heart attack, which his longtime manager, Dan Spilo, said he never fully recovered from.

I also agree that Michael Clarke Duncan was an awesome character, and his roles that he played were with such impact of what he displayed on the big screen. A truly gifted Man with muscles huge heart and love and kindness and the smarts to complete the pkg. R.I.P. you’ll be truly missed Michael.

seriously, this man had a lot of talent to play many different roles. show business has lost a real actor with a real range of skill. that's something you can't find easily these days.

You never know who is next, it soften someone you never think about, and then they die and you're like "Shit I liked that guy".
