Aww man! He was an awesome actor!!

Quote:

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.

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.

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.

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.
