Michael Clarke Duncan

Michael Clarke Duncan's imposing bulk and towering physique made him a natural for "big guy" roles, but under that impressive glower, he really had dramatic chopsùand unlike a lot of actors booked for that strong-but-silent type of part, he got a chance to display that dramatic breadth on multiple occasions, and he made the most of each one.

Clarke's too-brief filmography includes an admirably eclectic array of roles, including memorable supporting turns in Armageddon and Daredevil as well as a beautifully sensitive starring performance in the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's The Green Mile.

Although he initially appeared destined for a career of character actor roles, Duncan's Oscar-nominated Green Mile performance proved he had the potential for leading parts. Indeed, Duncan seemed poised for decades of box office success and critical acclaim, and he should have had a much longer career, but he was felled by a heart attack in 2012 at the age of 54
