RIP Michael Clarke Duncan

[Colton]

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)

 

[J-School Blue]

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

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.

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.

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 ****" tall. I guess I thought he was legitimately holy **** tall.

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

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

And that voice didn't hurt his size perception.

 

[Football_Bat]

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

****ing Omarosa.

RIP to one of my favorites. Loved him in everything I saw him in, and he really was larger than life in person.

Omarosa of The Apprentice fame? She would bring early death to any man involved with her.

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?
Bat**** crazy loon.

RIP. He was awesome in Armageddon.
