RIP Michael Clarke Duncan

RIP. Good actor and seemed like a nice guy. I loved the line in Armageddon when he said 'Harry, you're the man." That pretty much summed up the picture for me.
I also liked the line when he told the shrink, "I'm feeling a little emotional right now. You think I could get a hug from you when we're through?"

 

Anyone else surprised he was only 6-5? I knew they filmed him in Green Mile to look larger than he really was, but still, for some reason I thought he would be taller than that.

 

6-5 is still pretty tall.

 

Especially around those Hollywood types, many of whom are smaller than average folks.

When Stallone is 5-9, MCD's 6-5 is huge.

 

He was one of the best parts of a guilty pleasure movie. That first line you mentioned was the perfect use of his voice and demeanor.

This story gets into his start in acting, including how Willis played a big role in his career.

6-5 is awfully tall, but it's not "holy shit" tall. I guess I thought he was legitimately holy shit tall.

Good point about the rest of Hollywood being "holy shit" short.

 

6-5 plus 300 pounds is a big, big man.

And that voice didn't hurt his size perception.

 

He was a bodyguard for Notorious B.I.G. but switched assignments before his murder. His story could've been a lot shorter.

 

I notice she took credit for saving his life once with CPR. Too bad he couldn't have channeled some of those Green Mile buzzing insects and projected a few into her mouth.
And what the hell is up with that "Reverand Omarosa Manigault?" She get that off the internet?
Batshit crazy loon.

 

RIP. He was awesome in Armageddon.

 

'DON'T YOU LAY THAT ON ME, RICKY BOBBY!!' ;D

or something like that.... guess this means i should give up my dreams for a 'talladega nights' sequel? :'(

R.I.P. and thanks for the yuks!
