He died at only 54 due to a heart attck he had back in July. That's way to young to die! The guy played some really iconic roles! http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/172503-michael-clarke-duncan-dead-at-54
He was also a fellow traveller in the Martial arts being a purple belt in BJJ. Probably not considered his finest hour by most but I always remember being very fond of his performance as the kingpin in daredevil shame the rest of the film sucked.
RIP in peace bro. I remember him from some of my favorite family movies such as See Spot Run, and he was one of the only good things about the Daredevil flop.
I did not know he was a BJJ student! "The Green Mile" is an amazing movie, but to me he will always be the Kingpin. RIP. It came too soon.
He was also great in Sin City too. The Green Mile was a classic. He had an amazing voice. RIP, Big Guy. You'll be missed.
