RIP Michael Clarke Duncan

Like IJAG, I first saw him in "The Green Mile," and like everything else in the movie, he was fantastic. Loved him in everything I saw him in since. Too bad. And I didn't know he had the heart problem over the last month.

RIP

 

One of his last appearances had to have been with Craig Ferguson - Craig liked him enough to bring him on a trip to Scotland, where they toured his old house:

There are a couple other great clips from that week of shows online. RIP - He definitely seemed like the embodiment of the Gentle Giant.

 

Loved him in the Slammin' Salmon.

 

And just after I heard about this I went to the gym and on one of the TVs there, I see MCD in one of his guest shots on "Two and a Half Men." Man, makes me even sadder.

 

Wow, he was just in Scotland with Craig Ferguson a few weeks before his heart attack.

Can't believe he was engaged to Omarosa. WTF?

 

Aw man, that sucks. Amazing of course in The Green Mile. RIP.

 

He's also part of one of my favorite Family Guy cutaways.

Was so sad to hear this.

As has been mentioned several times, I saw him first in The Green Mile and he was just terrific.

RIP, big fella.

 

RIP.

Ferguson should be interesting tonight.

 

RIP Frankie Figgs

(of course, Frankie Figgs was dead already)

 

I was surprised at how late a start he got in acting, and how few films he'd done before "The Green Mile." Hell of a performance. I enjoyed him whenever he popped up in something. He was just a fun presence. Doesn't seem like anyone who knew him has a bad thing to say about him. 54 is way too young.

RIP.
