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.

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
