I’m devastated. He seemed like a down to earth type of guy and a fantastic actor. He will be greatly missed. RIP.

Terrible, he was a great character actor and seemed like a great person.

His life’s story seemed to reach for “The American Dream”. And he did it.......despite his circumstances.

Rest in peace!

Liked him in Armageddon, but his performance in The Green Mile just about made me cry. I can’t imagine anyone else playing a finer John Coffey.

“I helped it.”

Just...dang.

Prayers for his family and friends. He will be missed.

I am sorry about Michael’s death. He was too large and it killed him. He needed to eat arugula and run 75 miles a month. Many do.

Agreed.

The local NBC 11PM news mentioned it, cited “The Green Mile”, “Armageddon” and while his picture was up said “Planet of the Apes”, I can just imagine the ‘hell’ Fox would have caught for the same.

He definitely was a real life “Gentle Giant”.

RIP

“Gentle Giant” was exactly the way I thought of him, too. Perfect description.
