Michael Clarke Duncan, the hulking, prolific character actor whose dozens of films included an Oscar-nominated performance as a death row inmate in "The Green Mile" and such other box office hits as "Armageddon," "Planet of the Apes" and "Kung Fu Panda," is dead at age 54.

Clarke died Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for a heart attack, said his fiancée, Reverend Omarosa Manigault, in a statement released by publicist Joy Fehily.

His performance in “The Green Mile” was one of the best that I have ever seen. RIP.

Not that it matters but the article said that he “suffered a myocardial infarction on July 13 and never fully recovered,” that is a heart attack not a stroke. It also said he became a vegetarian 3 years ago.

Is that Omarosa from the first "The Aprentice" show? If so, then I know what killed the poor guy.

She saved his life during the last attack. Still don’t like her.

RIP Michael Clarke Duncan.

Did it ever occur to people that perhaps Omarosa was acting on those shows, and she’s nothing like that in real life?

I have only seen him in “The whole nine yards” but liked him very much in the role. He seemed to be a genuinely funny and good man.

I read where he was part of the crowd that rioted during “Disco Demolition Night” in Chicago in the last 70s.

The vegan diet is very hard on the body.

The story didn’t say he was a vegan, it said he was a vegetarian, which can be healthy, when done properly.
