RIP Michael Clarke Duncan
 
Aww man! He was an awesome actor!! :cry:

Michael Clarke Duncan, star of such movies as "The Green Mile" and "The Whole Nine Yards," passed away this morning. He was 54.

According to our sources, his passing came very suddenly. We're told his fiancee, Omarosa Manigault, was with him in his hospital room in Los Angeles and left for a short period of time. When she returned ... he had died.

Our sources say Omarosa's mother was with him when he passed.

No....I can't believe...no.

Scud 09-03-2012 05:12 PM

That's sad news. I liked him in Sin City and as the Kingpin in Daredevil.
He will be missed.

It's ok. I accidentally put it in the tv/movies section.

Bauer536 09-03-2012 06:03 PM

Aw man. That's sad. The first time I heard of him was for that Planet of the Apes film. But I must say, his performance in The Green Mile was amazing. I loved that film a lot. He was also pretty good in Sin City. I was hoping they would do a sequel for that film, but was his character supposed to return? Anyways, I am quite shocked, and I would like to pay my condolences to his friends and family.

We'll miss you, Duncan. Rest in peace.

RIP Mr. Duncan.

Was a very talented actor, loved a number of his performances, RIP Michael.

Ninjinister 09-03-2012 07:04 PM

Hit me like a ton of bricks when I found out. He was one of my inspirations. My dear mother took it even worse. If he were to have had a fan club, she would have been president.

oldmanwinters 09-03-2012 07:57 PM

Man, I hate to hear that. He really had such a tremendous on-screen presence and was a great voice-actor as well.

And as much as I hate to admit it, I think the first movie I remember seeing with him in it was Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, when he played American Balrog.

Lance_Steele 09-03-2012 08:02 PM

I'll admit he was one of my favorites and the news shocked the hell outta me.

I mean... Everyone who I grew up watching have been dying since I entered my 20s. Death is a part of life, but regardly its shocking.

Leo656 09-03-2012 09:18 PM

That sucks, he was a really good actor. He totally owned it as Kingpin.

Machias Banshee 09-03-2012 09:32 PM

This is so sad... he was such a gentle giant in Green Mile. What a shame to lose such wonderful talent. :(

Not to detract from the topic, but I'm confused by what you mean by that. The character's always been American.

XERO 09-03-2012 09:55 PM

Dude was awesome. He'll always be Balthazar in The Scorpion King and the voice of Atlas in God of War II to me.

RIP.

Plasticplayhouse 09-03-2012 09:56 PM

what the F###!!!! that's crazy! too young and what seemed to be such a good person :(

TheCanadiandrome 09-04-2012 12:23 AM

Holy $h*t this is crazy! Can't believe it! Sad, and will me missed. Man was a legend RIP

I just meant...

America's Balrog = Japan's M.Bison
America's Vega = Japan's Balrog

Ugh... I really wanted to like that Chun Li movie, but it got so weird and terrible at the end.

And I hate to admit that I've never actually seen The Green Mile all the way through. I still ought to get around to watching Daredevil just so I can check out Duncan's take on the Kingpin.

psych23232323 09-04-2012 04:29 AM

I can't believe he's dead.

He seemed young and full of life, you know.

BubblyShell22 09-04-2012 08:26 AM

Wow. This sucks. He was definitely a legend in the acting world. He'll be missed. R.I.P., Michael.

Fixed that for ya. :D Yeah I had high hopes for it, one of the biggest let-downs I've ever seen. But Duncan was good in it.

And Daredevil's decent, gets a lotta crap BUT I recommend finding the Director's Cut DVD for like $5 and watching that instead, it's a completely different and far better version of the film with a lot more of Kingpin stuff, and actually a lot more of everyone good and a lot less of Garner, which hot as she was, she ruined that movie all by herself.

MCD sure did leave us way too soon, but sadly he was pretty overweight his whole adult life and sadly, that takes its toll over time.

Not sure if y'all saw The Late Late Show last night but Craig remembered him by showing some unbroadcast footage of Craig and him in Scotland earlier this year.


TheCanadiandrome 09-05-2012 03:25 PM

man! can't see that video!

Same here. My first impression was, "No way. Can't be." It friggin sucks. He went way too soon.

I was wondering if Ferguson was going to say something about him and one of my friends who watches the show avidly told me about this. I didn't get to see the show at the time. That was nice.

Memphis 09-07-2012 04:28 PM

Horrible loss. He was an amazing actor. Green Mile is still a favorite of mine. Not to mention his awesome voice. Love the guy, hope he rests in piece.

Mr._Mutant_Man 09-08-2012 06:55 PM

Normally I don't get very bummed when actors die. Lately we've seen several pass that had lived full, long lives. 54 is way too young.

It's a reminder to enjoy life while you can, because while we'd all like to think we will be able to grow old, it isn't a guarantee.

TheCanadiandrome 09-11-2012 11:33 PM

Any one see the picture of WWE Superstar Mark Henry and Tiny "Zeus" Lister as pallbearers at his funeral?

Justin 09-25-2012 08:06 PM

He was the best thing about the Green Lantern movie.
