Michael Clarke Duncan

Today's prompt was supposed to be "Have you ever met a celebrity? If not, which one would you like to meet?" But after seeing the news about Michael Clarke Duncan last night I decided to do a short post about him...

Dec. 10, 1957-Sept 3, 2012

He was only 54
He suffered a MI in July and never fully recovered


I remember him most for The Green Mile. That was an amazing movie and is still one of my favorites.
I loved him as John Coffey. I also enjoyed him in a lot of his other movies and shows like The Finder, The Scorpion King, Armageddon and The Whole Nine Yards. He was an amazing actor and will be missed by many.

  7. There are a ton of movies I need to check out by him. I know him for a few movie roles and he was great, but I also know him for his voice over work in animated flicks and tv shows for kids.

  11. The Green Mile was excellent! That's too bad when great actors pass away...especially so young. Such a loss.
