    Michael Clarke Duncan, only 54.

    Had no idea he was in so many things, voiced some classic characters over the years as well as his more famous roles.
    We're only here for the Banter - The Luvvies - Chewin' The Fat

    Violence and Lubrication is the solution to fixing everything, if it still doesn't work, you need more lubrication.

    Very sad news, amazing actor that was so versatile in his roles.

    Greatest role was definately John Coffey in Green Mile, heart wrenching no matter how many times you see it

    The Green Mile was the only film that I've ever seen that actually reduced me to tears I have to say.

    RIP big fella

    Just stumbled across the BBC news article....huge shame. Although he seems most popular for Green Mile, I remember him most from Armageddon.

    RIP.
