Michael Clarke Duncan Dead: ‘Green Mile’ Actor Passes Away At 54

Michael Clarke Duncan has passed away. He was 54.
Duncan, who was best known for his roles in The Green Mile and Armageddon, suffered a heart attack in July. His fiance Omarosa Stallworth was able to save his life at the time by giving the actor CPR. Duncan was taken to the hospital and remained there throughout the month of August.
Sadly, Stallworth reported this morning that the actor had passed away at a hospital in Los Angeles.
A rep for the actor said:
“[Omarosa] Manigault is grateful for all of your prayers and asks for privacy at this time. Celebrations of his life, both private and public, will be announced at a later date.”
Duncan started his career in show business as a body guard for stars like Will Smith, Martin Lawrence, LL Cool J, and Notorious B.I.G. The 6-foot-5, 300 pound actor started acting in the 90s and had bit parts in shows like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Married With Children, and Weird Science. Duncan caught his big break in 1998 when he starred opposite Bruce Willis in the blockbuster Armageddon.
In 1999, Duncan received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of John Coffey in the movie Green Mile.
R.I.P Michael Clarke Duncan… One of the nicest & most professional guys I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. So sad…

Rest In Peace Mr Duncan. My thoughts and prayers are with his mom & the family in this time of sadness. I loved him in Armageddon, Green Mile & The Scorpion King with The Rock. I remember him saying that his mom got onto him about the scene in his leopard print briefs, it was funny it made me cry that a man his age still cared what his mom said to him. That is awesome.
Sep 3, 2012
My favorite movie with him is The Scorpion King. The best part of the movie for me was his fight with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. R.I.P. Michael.
