Green Mile actor Michael Clarke Duncan dead at 54

LOS ANGELES — The Associated Press

Published Monday, Sep. 03 2012, 5:59 PM EDT


Michael Clarke Duncan’s fiancée says the Oscar nominee for The Green Mile has died while being hospitalized after a July heart attack.

Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from Mr. Clarke’s fiancée, the Rev. Omarosa Manigault, saying the 54-year-old actor died Monday morning in a Los Angeles hospital after nearly two months of treatment following the July 13 heart attack.

The 6-foot-5, 300 pound actor appeared in dozens of films, including such box office hits as Armageddon, Planet of the Apes and Kung Fu Panda.

Mr. Duncan had a handful of minor roles before The Green Mile brought him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor. The 1999 film, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, starred Tom Hanks as a corrections officer at a penitentiary in the 1930s. Mr. Duncan played John Coffey, a convicted murderer.

"I am not crazy. I'm just a little emotional right now, OK? Y'all throwin' all this stuff at me, man. I mean, after this is over can I, like, get a hug from you or something?"

Rest in Peace.

I really enjoyed that show 'The Finder' he was on recently. This is sad news indeed.
