ACTOR Michael Clarke Duncan, most noted for his performance in the 1999 movie "Green Mile", is dead at 54, his fiance says.

His fiancee said the Oscar nominee for The Green Mile died while being hospitalized following a July heart attack.

Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Clarke's fiance, the Rev. Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died today in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months of treatment following the July 13 heart attack.

The 6-foot-5, 136kg Duncan appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as Armageddon, Planet of the Apes and Kung Fu Panda.

Full story

I really enjoyed his role in the comedy movie Slammin' Salmon, that was a ton of laughs & must see if anyone hasn't seen it yet but enjoyed other broken lizard films Beerfest & Super Troopers.

Was also good in Friday, RIP big fella

R.I.P to the friendly giant

Done and RIP :(

Loved his films, loved his work. Made me cry every time I watched The Green Mile.
Awwww, what! I'm legitimately saddened by this. :(
Shame I've only seen him in the Green Mile.
AWW :( R.I.P
so young he was only 4 years older then my mum :S
RIP Michael Clarke Duncan :(

He spent the last few years getting healthy too, had become a vegeterian and apparently was feeling better than ever. Poor guy.
Sad news R.IP loved his role in Slamin Salmon....
He's also a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and trains at the Gracie Academy.

So sad :(

I'm sure Craig Ferguson will have a nice tribute to him tomorrow night, as they were friends and went to film the show in Scotland together just before his heart attack.

Friendly giant indeed.
Very saddened by this. I enjoyed all his roles. RIP big guy. :'(
So sad.. RIP! :'@
I only know him from The Green Mile and he was awesome in that! a sad day... RIP.

What other well known movies has he been in?
Such a great actor! I didn't even know he was in hospital.. But I remember him in a few movies, and damn, was he a good actor.

RIP you friendly giant.

I thought he was pretty awesome in Sin City. Bitch slap of the century!

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan :'(
He also provided the voice-over for the Titan Atlas in the original God of War..
Oh, that's disappointing to hear. He wa a good actor. RIP

It's a recurring joke playing with the fallacy that "all black people look alike".

for instance...
I surprised they didn't use Ving Rhames instead. :P
Just heard about this on sourcefed www.youtube.com/...
What a shame and such a big loss to the industry, I don;t think there's a roll he's played in a movie or on TV where he hasn't done a great job. I was surprised that he died, just look at the guy he looks like he'd survive the apocalypse. One thing I didn't know about him was all his roles as a voice actor in cartoons and videogames.
