Actor Michael Clarke Duncan, of The Green Mile and Armageddon fame, died Monday morning after suffering complications after a heart attack. He was 54.
According to a statement issued by a representative for Duncan's fiancee, TV personality Rev. Omarosa Manigault, Duncan "never fully recovered" from the myocardial infarction he suffered in July. He remained hospitalized at a Los Angeles hospital until his death.
Duncan began his Hollywood career as a security guard for the likes of superstars Will Smith, Jamie Foxx and Notorious B.I.G. He landed his first significant Hollywood role as Bear in 1998's sci-fi blockbuster Armageddon, but he is best remembered as John Coffey in the 1999 drama The Green Mile, a breakout performance for which he was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. He subsequently had notable parts in The Whole Nine Yards, Brother Bear, Planet of the Apes, Sin City and Daredevil, amongst others.
Duncan also made a number of television appearances in high profile shows such as Bones, Chuck, and Two and a Half Men. He most recently appeared on The Finder on the Fox Network.
Standing at around 6 foot 5 inches and possessing a rich, deep voice, Clarke was a magnetic presence onscreen. He will be missed.
