We lost Michael Clarke Duncan today.

He had a heart attack a month or so ago, and complications got him. You might remember him as the "gentle giant" in the film "The Green Mile". He played that part so well... RIP

That's sad to hear!

I was interested to find out that Bruce Willis helped him to get that role as John Coffey. (like coffee, but not spelled the same) I loved that movie. Have to pop the DVD into the player again soon.

Sorry, Mr. Duncan, that I left the "e" off the end of your middle name in the title.

Yeah, I read that on IMDB. Pretty cool.

Sad.

To paraphrase James Darrell Edwards III, Duncan was well over twice the man I am, but not much older than I am. And his role in Green Mile is memorable.

Thanks for fixing my missed "e".
