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.

Those shows are also stressful to be on. You’re in an apartment with about 8 other people and the producers create conditions that cause each person to get on each other’s nerves.

We enjoyed “The Finder”. Wonder what they’re going to do about his character?

Adventists, who promote vegetarianism, on average live between 5 and 10 years longer than the average American and they have a higher functional ability at any given age as well.

A proper vegetarian diet is good for the body, not bad for it.

I assume, if they are able that his character would simply disappear. However, if his character is central to the show they can probably replace Duncan with Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister

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

If I HAD to go, well, that seems like a grand exit to me...

He was GREAT in "The Green Mile".
RIP

She created that act to get her foot in the door and it worked. I didn’t care for her persona either but she was invited to several realty shows which paid good money.

The Finder was already on the cancelled list, so his character won’t be an issue.

Well, darn, I didn’t know that! We enjoyed the show, and his character was a really interesting person.
