an Oscar nominee for "The Green Mile" has died while being hospitalized following a July heart attack. Publicist Joy Fehily released a statement from 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. Duncan, who was nominated for an Academy Award and Golden Globe for his portrayal of death-row inmate John Coffey in 1999's "The Green Mile,"

Awh no. He was a damn fine actor, probably the best thing about Daredevil and of course his wonderful turn in Green Mile.

Damn. He held a good presence in films

Bummer, had no idea he was sick. he had a great screen presence alright. He was one of the few things I liked in Tim Burtons Planet of the Apes. RIP.

Icarus Wings

A talented and memorable actor with the rare ability to create truly credible and powerful scenes.

May he rest in peace.

Ah, that's sad alright. He was a good actor and just a shame we didn't see him in more films and more leading roles. At least he's left a mark.

Very likeable in anything he's been in really. Sad news, RIP.

Been in hospital since july I think.

Sad news, not only a good actor but from what I've heard a genuine nice guy too (supposedly he would give $5 to anyone who knew his full name ).

May he RIP.

His final speech to Hanks' character in the Green Mile:

John Coffey: You tell God the Father it was a kindness you done. I know you hurtin' and worryin', I can feel it on you, but you oughta quit on it now. Because I want it over and done. I do. I'm tired, boss. Tired of bein' on the road, lonely as a sparrow in the rain. Tired of not ever having me a buddy to be with, or tell me where we's coming from or going to, or why. Mostly I'm tired of people being ugly to each other. I'm tired of all the pain I feel and hear in the world everyday. There's too much of it. It's like pieces of glass in my head all the time. Can you understand?

Never heard about the heart attack in July.

Always came across as really nice, genuine man with a big heart and a very good actor too.

RIP.

I was only in Disneyland Paris in July, went on the Armageddon ride with my son and Michael introduces it on a flat screen as you walk in. My son recognised him from the Green Mile, sad to hear this now so soon after.
