Actor Michael Clarke Duncan Dead at 54

He seemed like a really great person. So sad.

For those that aren't great with names (like me), he's best known for his role in "The Green Mile" and was recently in "The Finder" on Fox.

Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan passed away on Monday, seven weeks after suffering a heart attack, his fiancée Omarosa Manigault said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was 54.

Duncan was admitted to the hospital in mid-July after suffering a myocardial infarction, from which he never recovered; three weeks later, he was moved out of ICU but remained hospitalized.

A onetime bodyguard who turned to acting in his thirties, the 6-foot-4 Duncan earned Academy Award, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his work in 1999′s The Green Mile, in which he played a gentle giant of a prison inmate who possessed a supernatural gift. His other film credits includes Sin City, Talladega Nights, The Scorpion King and Daredevil.

On the small screen, he most recently had a series regular role on Fox’s short-lived Bones spin-off The Finder, playing the title character’s right-hand man/legal adviser. Duncan’s TV credits also included guest-starring turns on Chuck (in Season 2′s “Chuck vs. The First Date”), Two and a Half Men and CSI: NY, and much voice work.

One of the actor’s first on-camera roles was in TV’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, as “Tiny.”

This makes me so sad. I really liked him (not that I knew him...so I guess I should say he seemed very likeable) and enjoyed watching him on The Finder - especially his little outtakes.
