    I had to google to see who he was, I had forgotten his real name.

    Loved him in the Green Mile, it's sad he died so young.

    You can kind of get a sense of his personality from this clip.

    Way to bring a tear to my eye :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,196 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Very sad, didn't even know he had been in hospital since July13 due to a heart attack, gone too soon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Was the heart attack in July on the news? Never heard it , especially since he'd been in hospital ever since.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    Such sad news and soo young! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,632 ✭✭✭token56


    Genuinely sad hearing about this, RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 551 ✭✭✭Todd Gack


    Always seemed like a lovely smiley man, very sad to go so early. RIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    That sucks, he was a good dramatic and comedic actor, he was really funny in Armageddon as well. RIP big dude.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,404 ✭✭✭mr.jingle


    Leavin on a jet plane, don't know if i'll be back again.

    You may not be back again big guy but you sure as hell will be remembered. RIP:(

    RIP

    I'd love to have his voice, but it might sound strange coming from a small pasty white Irish guy.

    Still, let's hope he was an organ donor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,674 ✭✭✭Faith+1


    Very sad, Loved his awesome voice :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭SimonTemplar


    That's very sad news. He really was a gentle giant. If you haven't watched the clip above, I'd advise you to do so. He comes across as a really down to earth and sensible man.

    May he rest in peace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    He always came across as a nice guy. One of those actors you never heard anything bad about whom people generally liked. Always came across as very friendly in interviews, never forgot where he came from and what he had to do to get where he was in Hollywood.

    Unique voice, anytime you'd hear it in an animation you knew immediately it was his. Built like a mountain, too, he was.


  • Registered Users Posts: 453 ✭✭Tarkus





    Such a shame we won't see more...

    RIP :(

    Never usually care about these kind of threads but loved this guy. R.I.P big guy.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 18,184 ✭✭✭✭Lapin


    The Green Mile wouldn't have been half the film it was without him.

    And although everyone else in it gave a flawless performance,
    it was Michael Clarke Duncan who brought it to life.

    R.I.P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 691 ✭✭✭wellboy76


    Can you leave the light on boss? I is afraid of he dark.

    Rest in peace John Coffey.....(like the drink, just not spelt the same)


  • Registered Users Posts: 454 ✭✭john why


    R.i.p big man


  • Registered Users Posts: 385 ✭✭Some Yoke


    His character in the Green Mile was one of the best I've seen. Sleep well buddy

    He played an excellent part in 2 and a half men as the over protective father type. I was sceptical about him being in a comedy show after such an intense film like the green mile but he was brilliant in it and had some comedic skills.

    he's funny in Armageddon too.

    He was the best thing in almost every movie he ever appeared in; Daredevil, Sin City, Armageddon and, of course, The Green Mile. It's a genuine shame to see him gone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,655 ✭✭✭delw


    Sad to hear this,unique actor
    RIP big man

    I think it would be fantastic, everyone would stop in their tracks.
    Was it a heart attack?
    He was supposed to be a pretty clean living guy.

    I've never seen it.Ending was ruined for me by a vengeful brother. I'll give it a watch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭Icarus Wings


    An incredible talent that could grip viewers visually and emotionally. Seemed to be one of the most genuine people in the movie industry.

    A true character...and a truly decent person.

    Rest in Peace.

    If I could cast a shadow as big as this man did, I would be a lot further on in life than I am now.

    RIP


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭dilapidating


    Apparently if you met him in the street and managed to get his name right he'd give you $5.
    Seems like a true gent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    Tribute from Kelly Hu that came up on twitter for me. I thought it was nice.

    I cried when he told me that before his Oscar nom people used to be afraid to get into an elevator alone w/ him. After, they were happy to shake his hand. My Nubian brother will truly be missed. #RIP Michael Clarke Duncan
