13. His IMDB page

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003817/

R.I.P. Mr. Duncan, you were a fine actor. Your performance in Green Mile as superb!

[Bjorn Against]

2. He was a very talented actor, sad to see him go so young

He totally stole the show in the Green Mile, that was during the peak of Tom Hanks' career yet Duncan totally upstaged him which is quite an accomplishment to outperform one of Hollywood's top actors.

[jody]

3. IMO he earned many times over an Oscar for his performance. No words possible to describe how his

performance affected so many and will continue.

Edit to give him proper respect:

5. That's sad--he was always so happy to be working in Hollywood.

I remember when he was nominated for an Oscar for The Green Mile and he stood when they called his name with a big smile.... remember a story about how he used to tell co-workers he was gonna make it in Hollywood and they were like "yeah right...."

Sorry for his friends and family.

[sakabatou]

6. Damn, I really liked him.

[AsahinaKimi]

51. omg, me too

This is so very sad!

[socialindependocrat]

8. He was also on the TV series The Finder n/t

[nolabear]

9. Aw no. Such a good actor. Breaks my heart.

[DeSwiss]

10. Safe journey Michael, - K&R n/t

[temporary311]

11. Shame, he was a good actor.

He was great in The Green Mile, and I really liked him in DareDevil.

[Webster Green]

12. RIP.

He was such a great actor!

[freshwest]

14. And quite young, IMO.

[MADem]

47. He was a CHILD, relatively speaking--a mere fifty four.

Bad ticker....so sad, that.

[freshwest]

56. Left too soon.

[LittleGirl]

15. Gutted. What a man. I loved his acting

Indeed he stole the show in the Green Mile. I feel in love with him then.

Peace to his family.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. Was a vegetarian for three years.....

....

[RebelOne]

23. He should have become a vegetarian sooner. He would still be alive. /n

[dmallind]

34. Not only bullshit. but heartless bullshit. Stay classy as usual, vegetarians

[Joe the Revelator]

42. No, that is pretty true....

Remove animal fat from your diet and then you're only dealing with genetics. Medicine can overcome genetics, but not the combo.

[MADem]

48. Paging Doctor Frist, Doctor Frist.....

How very inappropriate --and inaccurate-- of you to suggest you know that.

[LeftishBrit]

49. Not true at all; plenty of vegetarians have died young.

I am not knocking vegetarianism, but this is a very prejudiced statement.

[AngryAmish]

57. Are you implying that vegetarianism killed him?

That is it, too dangerous to experiment with.


Actually I kid. The only real problem with vegetarians is their smell.

[LoisB]

17. May he RIP. So sad.

[GreenPartyVoter]

18. Oh, no! I loved him in "The Finder" as well.

[WCGreen]

26. apparently, you and I were the only two people who liked that show....

It was canceled.

[GreenPartyVoter]

33. Well, the two of us plus a 100K people on FaceBook. *sigh* Stupid network.

[azurnoir]

19. RIP Mr Duncan

you will be missed by your fans

[lillypaddle]

20. So very sorry

May he RIP. Peace to his family and loved ones. So young ...

[skeewee08]

21. RIP

Mr Duncan you will be missed

[Frank Cannon]

22. I am weeping. I loved that guy.

He was one of those actors that made even a bad movie halfway watchable just because he was in it.

And his final soliloquy in The Green Mile is one of the few times I allowed myself to cry full-on man tears at a movie and wasn't ashamed to do it.

God speed you, Mr. Duncan.

[TahitiNut]

24. Aw, shit! He was good folks... the "gentle giant" personified.

The man's character shone in each role ... from the "Green Mile" to "Two-and-A-Half Men." He'll be missed.

[southernyankeebelle]

25. He was a little teddy bear in a big body. He will be missed.

[jsr]

27. Great actor

R.I.P.

[tclambert]

28. I has a sad.

[upi402]

29. Vegetarian since 2009? WTF?

Michael Clarke Duncan was great on 2 1/2 men with Charlie Sheen. Just last night was loving how he played Sheen. That man was a specimen.

I wonder if he was lifting heavy and the dietary requirements of anabolic work added to his cardio pulmonary stress.

[nobodyspecial]

36. Not saying that he did

But given his muscle size and work as a bodyguard, it is possible he had used steroids earlier in his life. It was much more common and accepted back then. The steroids to irreparable damage to your heart and many end up with heart attacks about 50 something. Just look at professional wrestlers. Like I said, this could be a possibility. Lifting heavy alone will not cause heart attacks unless there is an underlying problem. It does not create one.

[Flaxbee]

30. Very sad; I really liked him.

So young, too.

[mother earth]

31. Condolences to his family, far too young & very good actor, esp. in Green Mile. nt

[JoyBugaloo]

32. WTF?????????

[Vidar]

35. RIP Mr. Duncan.

[drm604]

37. Way too young.

Sorry to hear this.

[a kennedy]

38. Loved this movie....and he WAS the star....

R I P.

[LiberalFighter]

39. It's a shame he passed so early

[whogasa736]

40. You Made It.

Outstanding Actor and Human being. RIP.

[bluesbassman]

41. Sad news. RIP Mr. Duncan

Enjoyed every part I saw him play. By all accounts a good man too. Will certainly be missed.

[Uncle Joe]

43. Sad indeed, he was too young.

RIP Michael and thanks for the memories.

Thanks for the thread, Guy Whitey Corngood.

[OnyxCollie]

44. RIP, Mr. Duncan.

[proud patriot]

45. very sad to hear this

[1620rock]

46. Bless you Mr. Duncan...godspeed to whatever comes next.

[Pool Hall Ace]

50. What a punch in the gut; he will be missed.

[davidpdx]

52. That is sad and he was still very young

My dad died at 55 and it is just unfathomable to think how people die so young. I only saw him in The Green Mile, but he deserved at least a nomination for a Golden Globe or Emmy his performance was excellent.

[Jennicut]

53. My grandfather died of a heart attack at 52. I hate when this happens to people too young.

I loved Michael Clarke Duncan and his performance as John Coffey was one that I will never forget. R.I.P.

[onecent]

54. Rest in Peace sweet man

You will be missed!!!!

[jmondine]

55. Tom Hanks once said that the cast of "The Green Mile" was the best ensemble he ever worked with.

Considering the incredible films he's been in, that is saying a hell of a lot.

And Michael Clarke Duncan was right at the head of that cast with Hanks.

RIP
