Actor Michael Clarke Duncan died Monday morning having never fully recovered from heart trouble in July. Duncan was both an Oscar nominee and a Golden Globe nominee and is most famous for his roles in The Green Mile and Armageddon.
According to Duncan, he felt an affinity for the role of John Coffey in The Green Mile because...
"... the fact that we both had troubled times, we are both big, and by looking at us, you would be fearful of your life if you met us in a dark alley."Duncan has also appeared in several television shows, such as Bones, Chuck, and CSI: NY.

Personally, I always thought his best work was the character John Coffey in The Green Mile. He played the role with sensitivity and nuance. He did great voice work too, lending his distinctive voice to characters in the animated movie Kung Fu Panda and Kim Possible.
